We would thoroughly recommend a stay in Rosa's lovely spacious apartment . The situation is excellent - 10 minutes walk to the beautiful island of Ortegia where there are many restaurants & cafes & a lively daily market & 2 minutes walk to a local supermarket - with ample free parking under the apartment block by the harbour wall & the apartment benefits from a lift . The apartment was spotlessly clean , well equipped & with plenty of wardrobe & drawer space,& the balcony large & excellent for sunny morning breakfasts & enjoying an evening drink overlooking the harbour,as well as providing a drying area for wet swimwear.Rosa was very easy to contact & even provided us with a change of towels & sheets as we booked to stay for 9 nights. Her friend Paulo was very helpful checking us in & giving us useful local tips .If we return to Siracusa we would definitely hope to stay at Rosa's apartment again.
