It was in a very good location because although it was a 10/15 minute walk from Ortygia, it was also good to get away and to also discover different aspects of Syracuse. don’t miss the market in Ortygia or the Sunday market at the end of the road where the property is situated. The host was friendly and helpful- The place was stylish and came with the unexpected treat of a piano! The spiral staircase is not for the mobility impaired. Bikes sufficient for low level ambling.
