We stayed at Francesca’s accommodation in the beautiful Ortigia, Syracuse in late august with our two children (aged under 10). The location was perfect to be able to explore the local shops and cafes, and the beaches, and we felt very safe. The apartment is clean and has lots of useful items for the beach, including an umbrella, mats, and towels. Francesca was a superb host, contacting us before and during our stay, collecting us from the train station, and even bringing some toys for our children. Look forward to visiting again in the future! Grazie
