The property was good overall but does have some some maintenance issues. For eg the aircon wasn’t the best - took a while to get going and didn’t coolthe rooms much, the electric kettle didn’t work and we had to request for it to be replaced. This should’ve been checked. The shower tray in the bathroom kept getting clogged. We were expecting a slightly more functional apartment even though the location was great and the hosts were very nice.

A great apartment in the center of town

The apartment is conveniently located in the center, but is also on a quiet street. The owner was incredibly nice and accommodating. He allowed us to check in early and even came to the bus stop to pick us up and bring us to the apartment. He definitely did not have to do this, and it was much appreciated. The apartment is clean and comfortable and steps away from all the main attraction and restaurants. Would definitely stay there again.

Ortigia Apartment in a Perfect Location

The host reserved parking at a garage 2 minutes from the apartment. He met us there and walked us to the apartment which was located steps from everything, including get wine bars, markets, and local's restaurants. The apartment was exactly as described, with creative art decorating the walls. The bed was comfortable and the aparment overall was very spacious, unusually large for Italy. I would stay there again next time we visit Ortigia.

Lia's vacation rental was great. Lia was very accessable and was there to greet us. The apartment was very clean, spacious,and nicely appointed. It is situated in the heart of Ortigia in a very walkable neighborhood. A block from Archimedes Square with many restaurants and shops. A real slice of Sicily.

Wonderful Place Fantastic Apartment

The Apartment was wonderful, we met the owner nearby and he took us to the apartment, he showed us everything we needed to know and made some restaurant recommendations (which turned out to be wonderful. The apartment itself was perfectly located for the whole of Ortiga - restaurants, swimming, and a supermarket nearby. Inside the apartment was perfect, it was spotlessly clean and had all the required equipment we needed including air con. It felt like a real home the kitchen was very traditional with freestanding units. The bed was comfy, the shower great and there was lots of storage so we were not ripping over our luggage. A nice aspect was that the apartment was full of original art, and each piece had a tiny QR code so you could read about the art and artist, which is not something you generally get in a holiday apartment. All in all it really could not have been better, if we visit Orrtiga again I would want to stay here.

Lovely and bright space in the heart of Ortigia

My husband and I stayed at this beautiful property for over a week, and it was a great experience. This apartment is very comfortable, filled with light and good energy. The main living area is spacious, and comfortable to relax in. The walls are covered with the artwork of local artists. The bedroom is peaceful and quiet. The a/c in the bedroom and living area works really well, and the internet is strong. We appreciated that there was a small balcony where we could sit and drink wine, and also dry laundry. It was extremely convenient, and if you are a seeker of calm spaces, this is truly it. The hosts were very helpful and gave great local recommendations for restaurants, and even shared the contact info for a great driver to take us to the airport. We would gladly stay in this sweet oasis again.
