We very much enjoyed our 4 days at La Gorgone apartments. The space was just right for the two of us and we felt at home there. Excellent communication before we arrived, including a great suggestion for lunch while we were waiting to check in, and checking in with Roberta's mother was very smooth as she was very welcoming. The apartment has lots of light, a comfortable sofa, great balcony where we had breakfast most mornings. The cooker worked extremely efficiently so we could have cooked our own meals, but there were so many good restaurants that didn't. There is a book of suggestions for places to eat and visit which was very handy, as well as an explanation of the myth of the gorgons which was very interesting and certainly more informative than the commentary available in most of Siracusa's museums and sites!
