The apartament is great, exactly as in the photos, clean and welcoming. Good location, quiet area, well positioned to get easily on the Ortigia island. There are good stores around the area with excellent bread and traditional takeaway food, coffee shops, etc. Basilica santuario Madonna delle Lacrime is also very close by. You can find all you need in the apartment either for a long stay or a short one, like in a real home. Giuliana helped us from the beginning with her recommendations, how to get from the Catania Airport to Siracusa, or where to have traditional Sicilian food. She gave us excellent recommendations, being a very good promoter of the area. Giuliana's mother picked us up by car from the bus station, this being a very welcomed receive as it rained for the whole day we got to Siracusa and although the apartment is very close to the “Interbus” Station, the rain could have been quite an inconvenience. Even for our departure Giuliana's mother offered to help us with our luggage and took us by car to the „Interbus”. Another advantage is the touristic bus “Siracusa Open Tour, Hop On Hop Off Bus” stop near by - the 12th station “Santuario-Catacombe”, and for 5 Euro you can travel an entire day.
Excellent hosts, very warm and helpful. Thank you for everything! Grazie! If we return we would love to stay in you apartment again!
