Alessia's place is lovely! The place is spacious and well appointed, but also has a very clean aesthetic that feels very modern. We instantly liked it. It is perfectly located, just outside Ortigia, with the bridge to Ortigia being literally a block away. There are great cafe's and shops right next door and even mini markets within a couple of blocks. Public parking is 3 blocks away, and we had no problems keeping our car parked there overnight (for a fee). Alessia gave us all the information we needed and was even gracious enough to give us a late checkout. The neighbor, a lovely older Sicilian lady, was a bonus and was very helpful, too. All in all, staying in her place was a fantastic choice for us in Siracusa, and I recommend her place to anyone looking to stay somewhere close to Ortigia!
