This is a great place to stay for a few days and visit Siracusa and the surrounding area. We stayed with my husband, two teenage boys and my Italian mother-in-law. Siracusa managed to keep everyone happy, which was good. We loved the appartment - clean, modern (inside), spacious and airy. A short walk into Ortigia. Easy parking. We were a bit unlucky with the weather, which was unusual for May in Sicily, but we enjoyed the sights, and all the delicious food. Make sure you visit the market for fresh fruit and veg, salads, dried tomatoes, capers, olives, fish and seafood. Stefano and Isabella were very friendly and Stefano went out of his way to tell us about local places we could visit, and give us hints for where to buy the best ice-creams and arancini. There's a little bar that does great coffee and pastries, and the port around the corner has lovely fish restaurants too. I would happily come back. Thanks Stefano!
