Best view in town - right on the water. We stayed in the Alfeo apartment with our 2 kids and we loved it. Large apartment and the view was magical. At night you can hear the party boats and some voices from below but they eventually move on - not a big deal. A true gem!

Ortigia is a great little self contained area rich with history and culture, but not precious about it. This is a real place that is also a great place to explore and relax.
