We just came back from 14 days Sicily trip. And we stayed at Mariella's lovely and cosy home for 3 days. First of all Mariella is so helpfull and nice lady. And the apartment is well located. It's just a few steps to see where you can swim. And also just a few steps from the center, market and really good restaurants. You can walk from apartment to a lots of nice places to see. We felt like home in her apartment. It was nice, clean, safe, comfortable, well decorated and so sunny. The only problem was parking. But this isn't about the apartment. This is about Siracusa. We really had hard times to find a free, close and proper parking area. So if we come back to Siracusa again we will definetely stay at Mariella's lovely house.
