We were very comfortable in Giorgio's spacious apartment and grateful for the courtesy and kindness of his parents. The apartment had plenty of room for our family of four to spread out or to spend time together. The interior is evocative of an era of gracious family living and the apartment and kitchen had everything we needed. The apartment is in a great location on beautiful Ortigia, very close to the markets and the centre of the island. It's also an easy walk or bus ride to the main sites of Siracusa, which is a pleasant and interesting city. An evening passeggiata up the main street of Siracusa is lovely.
