This is a great apartment at a great location! Everything was as advertised. It is in the heart of Ortigia, the island that is Siracusa's oldest and most charming area. The apartment is a block from one of Ortigia's beaches (rocky not sandy but still nice) where locals and tourists sunbathe and swim. It's also a few doors down from a small market and cafes/restaurants. Daniela and her assistant Davide were very helpful, giving us great advice on where to park our car, etc. Daniela and Davide very friendly and warm and took time to answer all our questions. (Davide helped us bring our heavy baggage up three flights of stairs). Also, Siracusa is a great and underrated city, filled with a youthful energy and vibrant art scene. We would recommend this apartment to anyone wanting to see Siracusa and/or Ortigia.
