Alessandra's husband met us where were having lunch and took us to the apartment. He was a gentleman and an all round great guy who spoke no English but we had no problem communicating. The apartment is Ortigia which is just an awesome place in old Syracusa. It was beautiful. Wonderfully renovated with all the amenities as described. A very nice roof top patio and lots of room. Not to mention a nice bottle of wine waiting for us. She was accessible and very, very nice. This stay was one of the highlights of our 24 day trip through Italy and Sicilia. A venue you must try to get if Syracusa is your destination. Tutto bene.
