Lidia is such a lovely woman and host! After I'd stuffed my booking dates around at the last minute, she had the room ready and made sure I felt completely welcome. She gave wonderful advice on sightseeing and restaurants and the good gelato places! The room is large and the bed is so comfortable and warm!! The apartment itself is in a fantastic location - literally just around the corner from a few different Piazzi, where there are heaps of restaurants, museums, cafes and markets. And Lidia is very interesting too - her costume design work with the Greek Theatre productions is amazing and she also has a clothing line of beautiful linen products. She is very talented! And very kind. I would love to come back to Syracuse again and stay at Lidia's place again! I'd recommend to anyone and everyone!
