Apartment is spacious, beautifully furnished and well located. Gabriele greeted us on arrival and was very friendly. He sat down with us for almost half an hour, providing us with many recommendations for our stay. They provide a very comprehensive guide with attractions, restaurants, beaches etc which was very helpful. Location is perfect if you are walking around. However, we had significant issues finding parking. You cannot enter Ortigia during certain periods of the day (which is most of the day on weekends) which means you have to park at the Talete outside just outside Ortigia. Walking from the Talete is fine but our issues were trying to find a car park on a Friday or Saturday night. We spent an extremely long time finding a car park. Just FYI if you decide to do day trips out of Siracusa with a rental car - nothing to do with the apartment or our hosts. However, we did have issues with power in the apartment on three occasions. Gabriele indicated that there was a maximum amount of power that can be used at any one time. However, when we turned the laundry on with nothing else on (e.g. lights, air con) - the power still went out. This was annoying as we could not do our laundry. The apartment itself and Gabriele were excellent but the power was an issue. Overall a good stay.
