Davide is a wonderful host. Very flexible and accomodating. The apartment was as I expected. Small, sweet, beautiful postion, great views. Ideal location to stay in the island of Ortigia. I would not stay on the mainland for quids.we left the car near the the exit bridge of the island and did everything on foot including mainland attractions like the St John's catacombs and archeological park as well as the modern church dedicated to the 'Madonna of le lacrime'.
