Martina and Lorenzo's apartment is the cutest. Perfet up to 4 people. Furnished with all the amenities needed, quiet and fresh thanks to the AC in both ground floor and first floor. There si no elevator and the stairs are pretty narrow to get to the entrance, plus the stairs to get to the bedroom floor. (I.e. not accessible for disabled people or mobility limited people. Inside the renovation is perfect, the design accurate and the decorations very thoughtful and sweet.
Martina even gifted us with fresh cannoli when arriving! The hospitality and warmth of Sicilian people is something that always melts my heart. The place is on the sea front, really close to harbour (Diving and boat tour centre) though the area is pretty empty all around, and there is nothing but a bar-cafeteria for miles.
Ortigia and the main street in Syracuse are both 20 minutes walk, and the station is 30 mins walk. A car is definitely needed although there is a very efficient taxi service which we used everyday.
I would definitely recommend Martina's place for young couples or young groups of friends who are willing to walk off all the Arancini and Cannoli 😊
