The apartment is small, but very comfortable and has a nice kitchen and a window from were you can see the sea and the rocks, which are the spot for sunbathing and swimming in Syracusa, because the old town has no real beach. Everything was clean and very tidy. We really enjoyed our stay here and would reccomend the market in the old town for fresh fish and sea food! Curious made us the problem not getting any stemps, we got some in Palermo instead, all the tabbacco shops were not allowed to sell them and in the post office long queue stopped us from buying stemps there. We really enjoyed Syracus and the Ortigia!
