We stayed with Alessandra with our two small children and had the best time. I cannot fault her as a host or her place as somewhere to stay in Sicily!!
As a host Alessandra was great with communication, our flight arrival was late so she talked us through self check in and then came by the next day to check we were all ok! She has a wonderful local knowledge of Syracuse and helped us plan some wonderful days out. At the apartment there is everything you would need (including a washing machine which was very useful with a baby) and the pool is perfect. We are outside and could easily relax around the house in the evening.
In terms of location it was lovely land quiet at the apartment but only 10minute drive to a restaurant and beach or 20mins into Syracuse and Ortigia (and follow Alessandra’s parking advice). The archeological park is also worth a visit and is nearby. However we spent most mornings at the apartment in the pool before heading out.
We would recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing holiday with access to local area. You will need a car but that is true of most places in Sicily! Looking forward to visiting again one day. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay
