We had a great time at Valentinas Apartment.
It's really cozy and very good located in a beautiful small alley directly at the center of Syrakus. Unfortunatley it's a little bit dark because it's on the first floor but we know that already from other reviews and we only spend our nights and mornings at the place. So it wasn't a big problem for us.
We didn't met Valentina only her father Paolo. He was really nice and showed us everything we had to know for our stay in the apartment. (Even though his english wasn't quite good and our italian is terrible)
So we would definitley recommand to stay at her place!
