Alice and Georgio were lovely to deal with and responsive and helpful from start to finish. They organised a taxi to meet us at the station and gave us lots of really good tips on getting around and recommendations for places to eat etc. We can't imagine staying anywhere but on Ortigia in Syracuse. It is a magical place and hard to leave.
The house is in a quiet narrow street so you really feel in amongst the locals. A few steps away you are by the sea and all the glories of Ortigia are at the doorstep.
The house is on 3 floors: front door entrance then stairs up to kitchen, bathroom and an office area with sofa bed. The main bedroom is up another flight of stairs in the roof space. There is a door from the room to a small terrace. We slept like logs up there!!
It was all just perfect for us and we would definitely stay there again. The kitchen would benefit from some more essentials for guests who might rely on being able to self cater. we wanted to eat out while we were there so it didn't bother us. We had a fridge for beer and wine and cooker to boil water for tea, so that was fine for us. (We didn't find a kettle at any of the places we stayed in Sicily). Wonderful food everywhere we went in Syracuse. We loved it.
Alice and Georgio are charming hosts and did everything they could to make our stay enjoyable. Alice contacted me while we were there to let us know there was a procession in town that night. We were lucky enough to be part of the Santa Lucia festival and it was definitely a highlight of our holiday. As was seeing the amazing Greek amphitheatre. We'll be back!
Thank you Alice and Georgio. X
