We had an amazing stay at Giovanna's apartment in Ortigia. The location is superb - beautiful view from the veranda and close to everything we need (the historic places, the nice little market, groceries, restaurants, parking, etc.) Giovanna wasn't in town at the time we were there, but she arranged Miss Nelle to check us in and everything went smoothly. Giovanna also checked on us often to see if we need anything or have any questions. We couldn't be happier with our decision to choose this apartment. We would rent this place in a heartbeat if and when we come back to Siracusa again.
Future travelers, if you are looking for a place to stay in Ortigia, this is the place to stay. I guarantee you won't be disappointed.
