Our party of 4 enjoyed a week at Michele’s place in August. Everything is as described and we found it to be a good location for exploring Ortigia/Siracusa and spots along the southern coast. The kitchen is well equipped, the view from the roof in the evening is lovely and the small beach around the corner is nice for a quick dip (Michele even provided sand toys and an umbrella). (Note that parking in Ortigia can be a challenge and prepare accordingly.) Communication was very prompt. Recommend.
