The roof terrace was a lovely place to relax ( providing you don’t mind a climb.) The house is in a great location within the old town but only a stones throw from the harbour. It is very close to the daily market, shops and restaurants. The house has hints of nautical decor which suggests a love of the surrounding sea. If you like history the local walking tour is a must and the archeological park is only an interesting 30 minute walk away. We, a party of four friends, enjoyed our week there and spent many evenings chilling on the ground floor chatting about our day’s events, drinking local wine and vodka. It was also a great luxury to have 3 full bathrooms.

3 friends in 70s stayed for a week as part of a longer trip to Sicily and Naples. The property is well placed close to the sea and it’s easy to walk to restaurants and other attractions. The accommodation is quite quirky. It’s located over 3 floors and the steps are quite steep and winding so not suitable for very young children or people with mobility problems. We managed just fine and loved the roof terrace, it must be particularly useful in the summer, we were there in February but still got some days up there. Loved Otigia, it’s winding streets and its cats!

Loved the property. Quirky. Lots of stairs. Well equipped. Lovely roof terrace. Comfortable beds. Good air con. Excellent location for the market. Fresh croissants every day. Superb restaurants within 5 minutes

First visit to Sicily, we opted to stay in Ortigia which was a great decision, the apartment is close to the daily market, being able to buy fresh fruit and veg every morning was a lovely bonus. The island of Ortigia is a wonderful place and a must visit, Alberto was very helpful during our visit
