Giorgio's apartment was a perfectly located base for our explorations of Ortygia and Siracusa. Although we did not meet him on the day of our arrival, we met his parents and children--very warm and welcoming and so very helpful! Giorgio is the perfect communicator--very responsive and flexible, allowing us to check out late since he did not have any other guests.
The apartment is huge--perfect I would think for a family--It was just my husband and I. It reminds me of being invited to an Italian family's rustic home--very cozy. There is a large living room, a full kitchen, bathroom and then several bedrooms. It is located as pictured right in front of the river (its technically the sea but a narrow causeway)--It has free parking right in front which was a priority for us. We never had trouble finding parking.

The location is perfect, easy to get to the Archaeological Park inland in Siracusa, or to wander the cute streets of Ortygia. I would recommend!
