Spacious, very well appointed modern apartment in historic building in center of Ortygia. Two large bedrooms, plus a smaller single bedroom on the upper level. Enormous common living spaces. Lovely roof deck. My three friends and I really enjoyed our 4-night stay and were made very comfortable by Patrizia welcoming us at the door even though we were late arriving, helping us with luggage, showing us how everything worked, arranging as best she could for parking, and being in touch during our stay (for example, her husband came promptly to replace the battery when we reported that a smoke alarm was beeping). She generously supplied beyond the basic amenities, including coffee and water. She even tried to help when the airline lost one of my friend's luggage for 48 hours. We enjoyed being in the center of the old part of Siracusa, but be warned that negotiating the narrow streets in a rental car is a bit hair-raising if you're not used to that (we got better at it over time), and parking (even with Patrizia's advice and advanced planning) was a challenge for us, made worse by torrential rains that flooded out the public garage during our stay, which I hope is a rare occurrence. I would definitely recommend Patrizia's apartment to anyone looking to enjoy Ortygia and the Siracusa area.
