Catena´s Place is right in the centre of the old town of Syracus, everything is in walking distance. The place itself is an old old vault very nice and historic, with nice furnishing and aircondition, which can also heat. You might need it cause of the ancient building and not many windows, it is not light and quite chilly, which might be good for the summer. We were there in Feb, and needed the heater. This is not a place to hang around because of the kind of how it is build. Catena made most of it! And since we planned only to sleep in the apartment, and to stay outside most of time, we felt comfortable and more than happy cause of its phenomenal location.
