We had a great time at Giorgio's place! He and his wife are so sweet and helpful. The apartment is around the corner from Siracusa's awesome public market, as well as being a stone's throw from the Caseificio Borderi, possibly the greatest panini shop on earth, a real find for the budget-minded traveler. The apartment itself is incredibly spacious, and has the coolest fin de siecle quality (which siecle I'm not sure); we kept getting lost wandering from room to room. Anyway, you won't be disappointed if you stay there. Promise.
