This is authentic Ortigia! A beautiful apartment in a 16th century building in a great location. The beach is a stone's throw away, excellent restaurants on your doorstep and history everywhere. Siracusa is a hidden gem with so much to see and do; history, geography, culture and just plain fun. But let's talk about the apartment. There is a reason Massimo is a Super Host and that is because he is considerate and thoughtful with great attention to detail, the kind of detail which enhances a traveller's experience. We had to check in early as we were going to a family wedding in the afternoon - no problem. The fridge was thoughtfully stocked with fruit and drinks which we particularly appreciated as we were out all night at the wedding. The apartment was spotless and toiletries and towels were provided in abundance. Everything worked well throughout the apartment including the WiFi and the air-conditioning (very important for a lightweight like me). Thank you Massimo for a wonderful holiday and thanks to you lovely mother for facilitating our early check-in and welcoming us.
If you are a traveller thinking of staying here, do. Really you won't be disappointed.
