As the other reviewers have well said, this is a lovely, large, family flat in a perfect location, with views over the river front harbour and easy pedestrian access to the beautiful Duomo and other sights in Ortigia. As lovely as the flat is, however, the host's parents are even lovelier. The father cheerfully picked us up at the railway station much later than as planned (as we had stupidly taken a train in the wrong direction along the way!) and the mother, who has excellent English, met us at the flat, showed us around and gave us many useful tips. The living room is very pretty and a real advantage over kitchen sitting in smaller flats. The bedrooms are large and remarkably quiet for an urban setting; the beds are not particularly comfortable, but perfectly ok. The bathroom, although quite old fashioned, is also adequate, although we (two couples) found the hot water supply a challenge for four showers/baths in quick succession. The second "bath" has no bath or shower, but has a toilet and sink. The kitchen is well equipped and had enough room to sit around the kitchen table. We did appreciate, and enjoy, a bottle of wine that the parents of the host had kindly left for us. All in all, this wonderful flat was an important element of our very happy stay in Siracusa!
