Best accommodation & house owners in Sicily!
Stefania & Salvo gave us the most heartwarming welcome ever. They had so many tips, a big bowl of fresh fruit, chilled water, coffee tabs, sweet pastries, too much to mention, it was lovely!
Their 2 floor apartment is spotless clean, modern and well thought out with many loving touches. The apartment has everything you need: well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, modern bathrooms, easy to park, great location surrounded by shops, bars & restaurants and only a short walk to Ortygia, the famous historical part of Syracuse, that has so much to offer, it keeps you busy for hours and is breathtaking!
My favourite ritual was up and out early, walk to a bathing spot 2km away in Ortygia. It's directly on the town wall and the water is crystal clear and shallow, perfect for swimming. Afterwards shower overlooking the sea and relax on a man made platform on stilts over the sea. On the way back stop at one of the lovely cafes and drink an espresso with the locals. Then pick up some bread/croissant/brioche at the baker's close to the apartment on the way back and finally sit on the large & beautiful apartment terrace and enjoy a well earned breakfast after a sporty morning - heaven.
There is so much more too, from the historical sites, so much history (we coincidentally found a famous painting of Caravaggio in a church close to the apartment!) to trying all the local delicacies to driving to the various beaches.
I am so happy we found this apartment, I can recommend it highly and safely say, you are in safe hands with Stefania who goes above and beyond to please.
I can't wait return and can highly recommend the accommodation.
