My boyfriend and I arrived in Syracuse on Saturday afternoon, Lidia helped us with directions and parking and right away proved an outstanding host. Her gorgeous traditional flat is huge and located in the heart of the old town. Literally round the corner you have a great vegan restaurant, coffee bar and wine bar and further down the road there's lots of boutiques for shopping. The room is big, with balcony and the bathroom just next door and the big fan was more than enough to cool us down at night. But mostly, Lidia is a lovely lady who truly enjoys being a host. She is a taylor, used to be head taylor at the Greek theatre in Syracuse and makes some beautiful and unique dresses (including jackets, skirts and coats). In the evening my favourite dress zip broke and she replaced it in no time! I therefore asked her to show me her collection and was amazed! If you are in Syracuse don't miss her and do ask to see her collection, can't leave without buying some of her unique pieces which she can adapt to suit your body shape :)
