If you are going to Syracuse this is the place to stay. The home is on the island of Ortigia which is connected by a bridge to Syracuse. Ortigia is in the historical part of Syracuse. This home has a direct view of the sea and the views are amazing of the sea, Syracuse and Mt Etna. The owner speaks fluent English and is very hospitable, helpful, and informative about any aspect of life in Sicily. The breakfasts both mornings were scrumptious, different and healthy. One morning we even had home made bread. The owner is an artist and owns a delightful shop which put on your list to visit. As a artist of course the home is decorated with great taste and care. This place is amazing and the owner is a big part of making your stay just perfect in every way. Thanks for our wonderful home in your home.
