We are a family of five (children in teens and twenties). We visited Syracuse for our holiday, staying in Denise's apartment. We would really recommend staying there! All the bedrooms are air conditioned and there were three bathrooms, which is great for a family. The apartment is spacious, has lots of storage and lovely balconies. The kitchen is the hub of the apartment! There is also a lift to get your suitcases up.
Denise was there to greet us with her fabulous mother, with some home made pizza and also gifted us some breakfast, pasta, and sparkling wine! Denise and her mother could not be more helpful, both whilst we were staying and during the preparations for our stay. Denise arranged a private tour for us, with local tour guide Elizabeth and we spent 4 hours being guided round the Archaeological Park and Ortigia.
We used our car whilst staying at Syracuse. The weather was really hot. Had it been a little cooler then we would have walked from the apartment into the centre. For all those interested, the hop-on hop-off bus leaves just from the bar as you turn right out of the street. There is a supermarket within a five minute walk. We took a boat trip to visit the caves which also allowed us a swim in the beautiful clear sea. The duomo was stunning with its mix of architecture and influences.
Denise and her mother work really hard to make sure that you enjoy your holiday. Thank you Denise! x
