My husband and I came to stay with our three children. We really enjoyed our stay with Ursula. The apartment is absolutely beautiful. Very rustic and a lot of character. It was very clean and we quickly felt at home and wished we were staying for longer!
The property is at the end of a driveway just off a busy road in Syracuse. But it is absolutely true what Ursula says in her property description: you feel as though you are in countryside whilst at the property! There is a beautiful large backyard filled with plants and trees and it is very quiet and peaceful indeed.
The location of the property is handy in that it is easy to get to other areas and landmarks in the South East of Sicily. Ortigia island is about a 15 minute drive from the property - mainly due to the traffic because at night when quieter, it took around 10 mins. It's not easy to park on the streets in Ortigia due to restrictions to allow residents to park but there are decent car parks a few minutes walk from the centre of Ortigia. Therefore, whilst staying with Ursula, we personally found it very helpful staying somewhere with good and secure parking at the property.
Ursula herself was very friendly and helpful, she was very prompt at replying to any query via email or in person. We enjoyed meeting her.
I would love to come and stay again.
