Great calm location at the tip of Ortigia, next to great restaurants, a fabulous 12th century castle and a lovely little stony beach. Feels like a haven of peace, but still within easy walking distance of social life and sights.
The apartment suited us (two parents with three small kids) perfectly. Very good mattresses, good aircon and heating, good shower, high ceilings, beautiful rough stone walls, it was all very practical and top-notch.
The host communicated with us very fast and with no delay and made sure we had all we needed for the kids (high chair, potty, etc).
Highly recommended, we'll go back there if we ever come to Siracusa again!
