We can't say enough about how much we loved our stay at Silvana's place. We were enchanted by the neighborhood which was very quiet, yet within walking distance of everything we needed. Walking over to Siracusa to the Greek Theatre takes only about 20 minutes. The view of the sea and the rooftops of Ortigia from the terrace, was magical. Breakfast on the small balcony overlooking the narrow street made you feel part of the neighborhood. Everything in the apartment was so well thought-out, there was everything you could need. Silvana and her husband were absolutely charming hosts, they were so helpful in every way and so kind, bringing us oranges and pannetone! The apartment is much more spacious than it looks on the photographs, and very well designed to be extremely comfortable and full of light. We had rented a car, but Silvana and Alessio arranged parking for us so it was very stress-free. We were made to feel one of the family, and definitely plan to go back as soon as we can.
