We were very happy in Domus 1333 in Ortigia.
On arrival we met Fabio, who kindly helped us with our suitcases and on the way to the house made a short and interesting introduction to Siracusa. He also explained everything about the house and the courtyard.
The house is fabulous, totally renovated, with respect to the original structure from the 14th century. It is situated in a small courtyard with a great ristorante. With our kids who are always hungry, it was just perfect. In the evenings we really felt like coming home, ordering on our way in and dining tasty treats in the next moment at the table in front of the door. The restaurant staff was extremely kind.
The location of the house couldn't be better. The main square with the Duomo and the cafes is just steps away. Nothing beats an early morning coffee in Sicily's most beautiful square and watching it slowly come to life.
Be prepared to leave the car some blocks away (just a short walk) as the area is essentially a pedestrian zone. Just ask the owners for instructions.
We are really lucky for having found this place. Back home we are already planning our next holiday in Sicily and can't wait to return to Domus 1333 soon.
