Antonella’s apartment is as pictured. It is very pretty and cozy, very convenient to everything, and also very quiet at night, which we appreciated. We had all the amenities we needed for a great stay in Siracusa and could walk anywhere in Ortigia in about 10-15 minutes. We even walked into Siracusa in about 25 minutes. We needed to do that after eating all the delicious pastas and cannoli! Also, I would like to say that Antonella was a wonderful host who went above and beyond her duties. My husband got bitten by an eel and needed some medical attention. I texted Antonella to ask her where to go, and she texted right back and then showed up at the apartment very quickly to make sure we got the help we needed. She stayed with us until my husband was fully taken care of. She was very lovely to work with and to have as a local host and friend. Just a word of warning to swimmers: we believe swimming is safe in Siracusa and would swim again. Our mistake was sitting and playing on the rocks. That’s where the eels live, so if you swim, don’t put your hands into any crevices in the rocks!
