We enjoyed the house and our our host, Maria. Maria has always been helpful. Dingo, the family dog is a lovely one. Morning coffee and breakfast were good. The room has AC, a fridge, a piano and an accordion. The BR has a tub with a jacuzzi system. The room had a separate entry, which allowed for some extra flexibility. We found very practical that, simply crossing the street, you will find the Zen Solarium (a lido where you rent a beachbed), the Zen makes it for the best 'beach' experience available in Syracusa. Ortygia, where you will want to dine at night and shop at the public market during daytime, is only about 10-12 mins walking, practical as well we thought.
