This large apartment is located in a very old building on Ortygia, old town Siracusa. The location is excellent. Everything is close by and convenient. A large daily street market is just around the corner.
The apartment itself is a remodel of an earlier second floor space and consists of a large living room, generous kitchen, large master bedroom, two other comfortable bedrooms, one medium and one small bathroom, both with modern fixtures. Being in an old building, the water pressure is low. One reaches the apartment climbing about 50 stairs.
Our host Pansun is Asian which is reflected in the apartment’s furnishings, which are spare but of high quality. We found small bowls containing eucalyptus oil tucked around the apartment, nice touch! Lots of windows and three small terraces overlook the street, and there is a roof terrace that we didn’t use.
Ortygia itself is a delight, lots of good restaurants, good shopping, interesting sights, ancient winding streets.
