This apartment is in the heart of Ortigia, Siracusa - just a few meters away from the Piazza Duomo and Cathedral. There are bars and restaurants all over the island - all within walking distance. The hosts went out of their way to get us in to the apartment, as we arrived late and Google Maps was getting us where we wanted to go. The apartment itself is very well appointed and comfortable. I highly recommend this apartment. P.S. - if you're driving to Ortigia, ask the host where to find free parking. We found spots every evening while we were there and there were no incidents with the vehicle.
