We have had 4 fantastic days in Syracusa thanks to Maria and the superb appartment in the city center of Syracusa (Ortigia). Maria was very kind and provides us with useful information about the town (to.do's and must see's) and its history. She prepared a breakfast for the days we stayed in "our home" which is how Maria named the appartment for the days we stayed there. The breakfast included a homemade pie and homemade Marmelade (made by her mum) which both tasted more than delicious. We immediately felt home. Maria was there when we needed her during our stay and was very responsive. The appartment is relatively small but big enough for two persons and looks however spacious. The appartment is modern with a beautiful bedroom and bathroom (half open). The appartment is beautifully decorated with keramic art. There was no WIFI in the appartment but Maria told me the she will install a WIFI-router soon so WIFI should be available in the near future. The appartment is perfectly located. Within 30 seconds you have reached the narrow ancient streets of Ortigia. Definitely try to order a pizzole Sicilian style in L' antica Salumeria. A small establishment just on the corner of the street. Try also a frozen daiquiri at the loungebar jn the far north-east of Ortigia. Depending on the live music they play you might have a nice end of the day over there.
Thanks Maria for everything!
