Marco's apartment is an excellent home base for visiting Ortigia, a 10 minute walk away, nearby beaches, interesting inland towns such Palazzolo, Buscemi and Buccher, and better known destination such as the Vendicari reserve and Marzameni. Despite being conveniently located, the apartment is in a quiet area where it is easy to park. The apartment is set up for cooking in and the washing machine is a real bonus. Marco is very nice. He gave an excellent briefing and suggestions when I arrived, which were very useful. I highly recommend.
