Pierpaulo was a charming host. He met us at the airport (Euros 50) and took us to the place. He provided a lot of information and was at the end of a telephone. This would be great for visors unfamiliar with the area. The one roomed flat is in a fantastic location in Ortigia. It is close to transportation, cafes, restaurants, interesting sites and the sea. The flat is quirky, no windows and done out in a shabby chic style. The flat is reasonably well equipped with excellent wifi. I think the flat is a good place for a short stay for a single or couple. I’m afraid nothing about the flat could be classified as deluxe.
We were three people, a couple and our grown-up daughter. We were charged Euros 20 for my daughter as an extra person. I think the flat is better suited to one or two people rather than three for a number of reasons: the extra fee makes it not good value compared to other properties in Siracusa, the flat is too small for three, the upstairs ‘bedroom’ does not have enough headspace, the facilities in the flat are designed for two people and finally the flat is not well ventilated so the air gets a bit stale with three people (we were there in November) and it was impossible to dry towels
