I caught the train down to Syracusa and easily walked to the location. Luigi's family met me and showed wonderful hospitality. You feel very welcome and comfortable. The kitchen inspires you to cook. The location inspires you to discover. The hospitality inspires you to come back!
Ortygia is a short walk away and perhaps a main reason to come down here. But there is so much more to see too. The Neapolis area is in walking distance and needs most of a day. Noto is a must, another short day. and dont miss Modica - a full day. You will see why, when you visit each of these.
The accommodation location makes access to all these sites easy. I walked to Ortygia and Neapolis. And trained it to Noto and Modica. If you stayed in Ortygia it would be so much more difficult.
Stay a full week. I did!
