Superb location and beautiful apartment
We loved our stay. The apartment is exquisite, and right in the middle of an historic, fun neighborhood. It’s on a corner of two pedestrian streets, and although it’s busy, it’s quiet with the windows closed. We would definitely stay there again. So many restaurants and cool shops and street vendors. Don’t miss the Fish House Art Gallery a block away. And we loved the boat ride around the island.

Lovely apartment! The location couldn’t have been better for walking out the door and being the middle of walking streets. This is an old building but the owner has updated the interior. The beds are ok, a bit hard if you are use to soft beds. There are 15 stairs up. The kitchen has pots and pans, a nice coffee maker but note NO forks or knives.

Gorgeous apartment in the middle of lovely Ortigia
This is a very nicely appointed apartment situated in the middle of the tourist area of Ortigia. That said, it wasn't too loud with the windows closed. The apartment is great. Up one flight of steps and you're there. The two bedrooms are beautiful, each with a large bathroom. The kitchen/living area is where we hung out. We had two small issues - a blown fuse and no hot water - which were easily fixed with a phone call to the host (though the hot water heater has quite a small tank. If you're 4 people showering at the same time, take short showers!!). Overall, we loved it and hope to be back one day.

The location was central making exploring easy but one of the bedrooms over looked the main street and was noisy. There was no hot water until early evening which was a big problem and then it had gone by 10pm.

A fabulous apartment
My husband and I so enjoyed our stay in Ortegia. Thanks to this wonderful apartment in the middle of a charming area with two balconies to enjoy the hum of passersby’s on a pedestrian only street. (it does get to be a little bit noisy as it is a pedestrian street, but unlike other cities, it quiets down at a reasonable hour of the evening. ) The apartment was very comfortable with 2 large bedrooms, comfortable kitchen/ living area and… 2 unbelievable showers!!! Everything was within walking distance to restaurants, coffee shops, patisseries, and an amazing Duomo in the impressive city square. We ate at the little restaurant under us called “A Putia di Gingio” where we happened to chat with two other couples near us from other countries. We became fast friends and met up with them the next few days. I cannot say enough of how wonderful this apartment, Ortegia, and its people are. We will definitely come back soon.

Heaven!
This apt is exactly as pictured in the photographs, and the location could not be more perfect. Just to know, one bedroom is quiet, but you do hear noises from the street in the second bedroom. But the apt is beautiful as is Ortigia, so who cares! The rental agent was also wonderful. Very welcoming, helpful, and quick to respond to any questions. I do hope to return, so I hope this great review does not mean the apt will not be available next year for me!

June 2022 stay
The unit is located in a pedestrian only area. Once we met up with Emilia, she walked us to the apartment and then walked with us to where we had left the car and showed us where to find parking for our car. She was also available to answer our questions. One caution to light sleepers. This unit is in a very active pedestrian area. At night, there was music playing and plenty of street noise that could be heard from the one bedroom. The one other issue was the mold growing on the walls and ceiling above the shower in the one bedroom. These are 12-15 foot ceilings but anyone sensitive to mold may have a problem. Despite these issues, we had a great time in Ortigia.

Great Location
This is a lovely apartment in the heart of Ortigia. We were met by the Property Manager who helped us to find the local parking garage and showed us the property and gave us some local recommendations. The common area is quite small but perfect for friends travelling together as the bedrooms are on each side of the common area so it gives you privacy. We were there on a holiday weekend so it was a little noisy but I would definitely book again.

The property was centrally located and close to everything in Ortigia. The street below the apartment is awash with dining options. During the day, the street noise is relatively low, but it can be quite noisy at night....as late as 3:00 AM. The apartment is very large and well decorated...quite comfortable. The only negative is the lack of water hot enough to clean dished without supplementing it with boiling water from the kettle. The host was very communicative and was able to help us if needed. We would highly recommend this apartment.

Let’s start with Emilia ... excellent customer service! She provided area travel information ... and went above and beyond helping us track down our lost luggage. The apartment was spacious, bed was comfortable and the kitchen adequately equipped. In regards to location, the apartment was steps from the Piazza Duomo, excellent restaurants and shops. Looking forward to returning.

The apartment was in a great location and was very comfortable. Our host was very responsive in resolving a couple of issues that arose early on. Unfortunately an adjacent building is being renovated which caused some noise during the day, but it wasn't a big problem for us. We really enjoyed our stay there.

Great apartment in a great location
The apartment was clean and comfortable, the location very convenient, the property manager responsive, and the five balconies awesone. The only negative was the construction next door, which is temporary, but perhaps should be noted in the property description. In all, we had a very pleasant stay and would recommend this property.

Lovely apartment - perfect for sharing with friends
We stayed for four days sharing with a friend. The apartment was ideal in terms of location and size. The two large bedrooms are separated by the living area - and each has a huge en-suite. The decor is eclectic - Tania has gone to a lot of effort to make her apartment unique and very attractive. The balconies are tiny - but fine for sipping a drink and watching people pass by below. The pedestrian street is very busy at all hours. The bedroom at the back of the apartment is lovely and quiet but has no outlook. The red bedroom gets some street noise despite the double glazing so light sleepers be aware! We loved the daily produce markets and cooked one night in the apartment. The kitchen equipment is a bit basic - maybe guests are more inclined to eat in the many local restaurants. The customer service we received from first enquire to checkout was flawless - both Tania and Emilia were super-responsive to every request. Unfortunately building works continue next door - but of course this is beyond control! We would certainly recommend this apartment.
