Elisa was a phenomenal host, gracious, sweet and proactive. She warmly greeted us, gave us many recommendations of things to do in and around Siracusa, along with some restaurants. She also lent us a guide book which we gladly consulted during our visits. It was evident she wanted to share her love of the region with her guests.
Her apartment is perfectly located, only a short walk away from the main sights of the city - Ortigia, the sea, the Archeological Park, the Latomia dei Cappuccini.
It was very clean and was equipped with everything we needed. Elisa even encouraged us to use some lettuce, aubergines, hot peppers and herbs she had planted in the garden.
There were bikes to our disposal, though we didn't get the chance to use them.
We unfortunately got a flat tire late Saturday evening. Elisa and her husband Fulvio empathized and immediately connected us with a local car garage and negotiated a price so we weren't taken advantage of, saving us a lot of time, money and hassle.
We spent 4 nights in Siracusa, and are very happy to recommend Elisa's place.
