Ortigia Retreat

With balconies overlooking Ortigia’s historic market, this two-level apartment has a fantastic setting. That’s not the only outdoor space, though – there’s also a roof terrace with more vistas over the city and sea – it’s the perfect place for sunset drinks. Or relax in the large open-plan living room with its original 18th-century floor. This room also sleeps two guests on a sofa bed, so this home is ideal for couples, friends or families. Located just a stone's throw from the sea, Piazza Archimede and Piazza Duomo, and just 200 metres from the port, the address couldn’t be much better.

Home truths:
*At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area.
*There's no lift here. You'll need to be able to climb stairs to reach the second-floor entrance of the home. Please note that this home is also set over two levels.
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot, high chair and playpen for free. You'll need to request them in advance.
*This home is right next to the market, which can be a little noisy in the morning.
*Although this home is within walking distance of plenty of amenities, you may wish to hire a car to get the most out of your stay and explore the rest of the island.
