The apartment is in a lovely location - quiet street and a small but pretty beach nearby ! I'm so glad we stayed in Ortigia and not main Siracusa. Marilena is very nice and helpful. The apartment is well equipped, sunny, bright and had a lovely collection of teas. A few things to consider would be - it's on the second floor which is higher than most second floors due to high ceilings so if you're traveling with a lot of luggage or have difficulty climbing stairs this is something to think about, also it's a bit small for 3 people. Otherwise, we loved our stay here and would recommend it !
