Great proximity for accessing Siracusa and the southern beaches without being stuck in the middle of the city. The kids had plenty of room to run and explore, and Sandra and Fabio were the best of hosts: thoughtful, kind, and accommodating. They went out of their way to prepare for our stay with five kids (down to a crib, high chair, and stroller awaiting us!) and ample bedding for the cool nights. The building itself is fun and unique--not a five star resort, but rather, something better: approachable with an air of mystery and imagination. We were delighted with our stay.
