This apartment is well located on the lovely island of Ortigia, which is part of the historic city of Syracuse. The hostess Lynette is gracious and welcoming and very helpful in informing her guests of all the city has to offer.
The local market is a colourful affair, well worth a visit, and is just 5 minutes walk from the apartment. Also close by is the swimming area platform or lido, which is erected every summer. The water is very clean and clear, and the place is very popular and a great place to cool off.
The apartment itself has its own entrance and has good wifi. It is well equipped with a washing machine, cooking facilities and air conditioning. It doesn't have much natural light, and the noise from the street outside can be annoying, which I suppose is the downside of city living.
Lynette is very considerate of her guests and Ortigia itself is well worth a visit.
