Our stay in Siracusa was very nice: the location is great to visit Ortigia, the ancient town, to have a run close to the sea (Pista Ciclabile Rossana Maiorca) and is 20 minutes away from some of the most beautiful beaches of the Eastern part of Sicily (Arenella, Fontane Bianche, etc).
The apartment is just like it appears in the pictures: very well furnished, brand new, comfortable, with air conditioning and parking outside.
Francesco is a very nice guy, available for any kind of advice on the best way to enjoy your stay in Sicily.
