Our stay in Syracuse was fantastic. Giovanna & Ivan's apartment is in a great location - 15min walking distance to beautiful Ortigia, 15mins to the archeology park (well worth a visit) - and proved a great base for visiting Noto (30mins on the train) and the beautiful local winery Pupillo (book a tasting and tour, you won't regret it). It's close to grocery shops and not far from some lovely restaurants too. Giovanna & Ivan were great hosts, meeting us at the apartment and spending time helping us to settle in. They'd even left us a lovely bottle of local wine and some cakes which was very much appreciated! They were always happy to help with recommendations or requests, and super quick to respond. The apartment is clean, spacious and has a cute little balcony over looking Syracuse, lovely for sitting and having a coffee in a morning or a wine as the sun sets in the evening. Would definitely recommend!
