we can't say enough good things about this apartment and our wonderful host. Firstly, we are so glad we chose to stay in Siracusa (rather than Taormina), and particularly in the old town - Ortigia. It really is a beautiful place. The apartment itself was clean and unbelievably well stocked with everything you could need, we were even given beach towels to use during our stay! We can't recommend this apartment highly enough.
