Short walk from the train station, about 10 minutes. Easy to find. Carmela's English wasn't great but she had the google translate app at the ready which made everything easy so no real issues with communication. The room was clean and just as pictured, great shower in the ensuite bathroom, very comfy bed and even better air con :) Unfortunately for me i forgot to bring mosquito repellent so I got bitten loads, Carmela noticed and was lovely enough to give me antihistamine tablets and told us what to buy from the pharmacy. The next day when we were due to leave she let us leave our bags there while we explored ortigia some more before our train came which was really kind of her. Had such a good time in Syracuse Carmela really added to that
