The apartment is in a perfect location in the heart of Ortigia; everything - outdoor market, restaurants, shops, city beaches- within walking distance.
You can also walk (~20min) to the central bus/train station but it’s not recommended if you are carrying heavier bags. Fortunately Adele’s friend Alfio came to pick us up with his car and showed us everything we needed to know about our stay.
The kitchen is well-equipped so that you can cook your own food and have a romantic dinner up on the beautiful roof terrace. Adele keeps a good stock of all the things you need when staying in a private home, even paying attention to details, which is really great!!
Internet/WiFi was working perfectly on all floors during our whole stay.
Due to the position of the house in a rather shielded spot surrounded by other taller buildings it wasn’t really possible to make a draft through the house for fresh air and it felt a bit stuffy, but the bedroom has an air conditioner to cool it down when needed.
Please be aware that the two sets of stairs, between ground floor - bedroom - terrace, are very steep and narrow.
Also know that any outdoor or neighborly noise, even talking, travels effortlessly into the apartment, so if you are easily awoken or disturbed this can be a problem.
All in all we had a nice stay in Siracusa and there is still much left to see of Sicily for the next time!
