Marcello’s 3 apartments were perfect for our group of 6 (3 couples). Everyone had their own space, but the largest middle apartment made for a great gathering space. The apartments were clean, modern and well equipped. The location in the middle of Ortigia was ideal and walkable to everything (if traveling to Syracusa I definitely recommend staying in Ortigia). Marcello was an excellent host. He gave us great local recommendations for restaurants and beaches, and was extremely responsive if we texted with any questions. In Ortigia only residents can park, so we parked in a public lot (10 euros per 24 hr). Marcello and his father met us st the lot and drove us with our luggage to the apartment. However it’s only a 5-7 min walk so not far.
I would definitely recommend Marcello and the Ortigia apartments to anyone traveling through Syracusa.
