If you go to Siracusa, why would you stay anywhere else? The perfect place in the best location right on the island of Ortiga. All of the "best stuff" is right there. Maria Teresa was a wonderful host from the cookies she left, to the email she sent us on making Italian coffee, and the best beaches, and favorite restaurants. She met us out on the street in front of her door. Her apartment was perfect; and even better than the pictures, clean and tastefully decorated. It felt like coming home every day. We watched sun sets from her balcony over the water and saw a fantastic fireworks display as well. Thank you so much Maria Theresa for a wonderful three days.
