Gabriella welcomed us to the flat which is in a very central location of Siracuse allowing to do a lot of sight seeing by foot.
The flat is an elegant and large Italian home with rooms decorated with beautiful antique furniture, long flowing curtains, antique and modern ornaments and artwork. A real pleasure to be in and certainly added to the charm of our stay. The kitchen is large and well equipped and perfect for creating a Sicilian meal with ingredients from the market in Ortigia. We were welcomed by a basket of fruit and croissants for our first breakfast and Onofrio came to the door to welcome us and give us ideas of things to do during our stay. He was so warm, friendly and full of enthusiasm that we felt we had certainly chosen the right town to stay, and we had........Siracrusa and Ortigio in particular is magical and this is also a great base for visiting the area.
We had an evening trip to the baroque town of Noto which was really worth it, and isn't really far away from Siracusa. There is still so much to do and explore that we must come back one day.
