We had a fantastic time in Syracusa. Maria Laura and her family were lovely and very helpful. The pictures don't do the apartment justice, tastefully decorated with period pieces and great eye for detail. The kitchen had everything we needed, there are two terraces looking over the rooftops. Great location, a few minutes walk to the Temple of Apollo and all the restaurants and shops in the main thoroughfare but peaceful and quiet. Would thoroughly recommend and would not hesitate to come back.
