We loved our stay in Siracusa at Alice’s place! The location is perfect, you can explore everything in Ortigia by foot and the ocean is just around the corner. Alice welcomed us personally and showed us a place to park for free, gave us restaurant tips and was over all just an amazing host.
The place itself is great, the patio is very nice for summer evenings. At the beginning/middle of September the lack of an AC is not dramatic as the nights get chilly. Just don’t plan to cook something in the oven as we did- it doesn’t work! The stove is perfectly fine though. We would definitely come back :)
