Siracusa – Ortigia
Alice’s apartment was a great place to stay at. It is an excellent location allowing you to walk everywhere in both Ortigia and Siracusa. Upstairs has a lovely deck with table and chairs that is off the master bedroom which also has a very small old TV which has 6 or 7 English speaking news channels. The apartment is mostly quiet. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking and has a table and chairs. There is another room near the kitchen that has a fold out couch and a table.
Alice was always very responsive to texts on What’s App, providing information. Alice and Giorgio were kind enough to pick us up at the bus station and gave a very good orientation of their place. They are extremely friendly and helpful with lots of good ideas and several pages of useful written information about Ortigia, Siracusa and the surrounding areas.
I would recommend their apartment. Although there were only two of us, the apartment would comfortably accommodate 4 people.
Ortigia is absolutely steeped in over 2,500 years of history, with awesome buildings and street scenes particularly at night when it is very enchanting and romantic! Late September was a perfect time to visit with very comfortable weather and not very busy with tourists.
We would love to go back to Ortigia as it was one of the best places we've been in Europe and when we do we will definatly stay at Alice's.
