I just spent a week in this lovely apartment and highly, highly recommend it. The apartment is even better than the photos suggest - light, airy, spacious, exceptionally clean and really comfortable. The balcony is lovely and overlooks a gorgeous little piazza, the bed extremely comfortable, and there is a great washing machine, fast internet and spacious bathroom. The location is amazing, right in the heart of Ortigia, and everything is on your doorstep. Giuseppe is an amazing host - friendly, thoughtful and very responsive. He came to meet me for check-in, giving me a tour of the apartment, carrying my luggage up the steps and then taking the time to show me a map of Siracusa and point out the highlights/make recommendations. When I needed help with something, Giuseppe answered straight away and then came the next morning to help me out. Great apartment, great host and a beautiful city!! I will definitely be back and highly recommend it!
