A highly recommended apartment for anyone seeking space and value-for-money. This very spacious top-floor apartment is right at the corner of the Archaeological Park and well situated for walking into Ortygia straight down Corso Gelone. We spent three nights at the apartment having driven to Syracuse from Enna. (In hindsight we should have spent a longer period because the apartment is very relaxing and there is so much in Syracuse to see.) There are lots of residential streets with parking around the apartment.
Anotonio met us on arrival - much later than we had anticipated - and the communications between us pre-arrival and during our stay were prompt. There is a pizzeria - Agathos - immediately downstairs from the apartment and I highly recommend it. We didn't use the car or public transport at all while we stayed - the apartment is close enough both to the archaeological sites as well as to Ortygia.
There is a small lift in the block of offices/apartments that stops immediately outside the apartment's front door. There was strong WiFi in the apartment (NOTE: the password is all in lowercase and is written on the back of the modem) and plenty of surfaces if you need to work on a laptop or want to spread out maps or papers.
The kitchen/dining/sitting area is one large open plan space with two terraces leading off it. There are three bedrooms (1x double, 1x twin, 1x single) and two shower-rooms/WCs, one across form the double room is very large and the other is basic. There is also a large bright laundry room with ironing boards, washing machine, tumble dryer, and plenty of space to hang laundry or use as a separate work area as it has a table and chairs.
The kitchen area itself is small (not really designed for making large meals for the family) but it appeared newly fitted with a two-pan induction hob and a small microwave/convector oven. along with a large fridge/freezer.
Altogether this is not a luxurious apartment but it is more than comfortable, clean and for the location and available space - some of the best value for money we have spent in our years on airbnb. We will almost certainly return when we travel back to Sicily next Easter. Thank you Antonio and Carla!
