Alice and Giorgio were great hosts. The apartment was just as it was described and very close to the Archiological Park (about 5 minutes to drive). Ortigia is about 15 mins away by car and beaches are about 20 mins drive. There are lots of shops to buy groceries and eat at around the complex and the free secure parking was a bonus.
Unfortunately during our stay (2 nights) there were building works for the water and sewage systems which meant drilling started at 9 in the morning. Also one morning there was no water from 9am to 12 noon which was rather inconvenient. Altho it wasn't Alice and Giorgio's fault, it would have been nice to have been warned about this as I do not believe this definitely spoilt the experience and stay at this apartment.
