This is more spacious than it looks in the photos and a super convenient location: it really is walking distance from the main pedestrian alleys and streets of Ortigia; it is in the “centro storico”, the place to stay in Siracusa.
> You will be told to park at the Parcheggio Talete and walk to the accommodation, but you can drive there to drop off your bags (which I recommend) and then go to park the car. The address of the property is not far from Porta Marina, and in an alley to the left of Via Ruggero Settimo. This is a one way road that will take you all the way round the island to the parking lot that your hosts will recommend. I regret not having done this.
> The restaurant outside the door of these lodgings is a very nice family run restaurant and good value for money. Portions are huge; so, I recommend not ordering full course meals; just choose one or two dishes that you might like and share if you wish.
