Perfect base for exploring the Sicily East Coast
I had a great time visiting Ortigia and staying at La Gorgone Ortigia apartments. Euriale apartment was clean, compact, and had everything I needed. Roberta couldn't have been more helpful during my stay! She helped me to arrange transfers for my arrival, and as she was visiting Siracusa while I was there she met me on arrival. She had a map ready for me and gave me lots of tips for places to go on the island though, as she suggested, the best thing to do was really to wander around the beautiful streets and get lost finding things. Roberta was on hand and responded very quickly when I had any questions. The WiFi was good, and I appreciated the homely touches they made to the apartment. It is a five minute walk from a lovely pebble beach which is quiet and perfect for a swim in the morning. I also really enjoyed using the bike as it's a perfect way to get around the little island. There is a small supermarket, which is open late, about three minutes from the apartment, and a large lidl in Siracusa which is easily reachable by car or bus. I visited in mid-May and it was very hot, but dry rather than humid. The fan in the bedroom was much appreciated. I would recommend taking bug spray and the mosquitoes were very pesky in the evenings. As a solo female traveler I felt very safe and comfortable staying where I was, and everyone I met was very friendly and welcoming. I would love to come back soon! It was the perfect base for exploring the Sicily East Coast - thank you to Roberta and the family for a wonderful stay!
