Sebastiano is a lovely host, very attentive, responsive and discreet.
His flat is fantastically well located in the heart of Ortigia, about two minutes on foot from the Cathedral square and one minute on foot from the beach. His flat has not one, but three, separate terraces with different views, for different times of day. To be sure, all three terraces are private and for the renter only. Heaven! I would say these terraces are the main advantage of the flat, and frankly, half the pleasure of being in Syracuse is to sit on the terraces, overlooking the sea and the lively street scenes, with a lovely aperitivo in hand.
Inside the flat the bed is extremely comfortable and the mattress felt new, the couch is great, wifi high-functioning, and the kitchen perfectly kitted out with all the mod cons. The traditional Sicilian ceramic tables are strikingly beautiful, and the flat has been decorated with simple and very good taste.
The bathroom is also quite new and comfortable.
There are some busy restaurants nearby and there can be some noise at night, but this would be a problem anywhere in busy Ortigia.
We would highly recommend Sebastiano and his fine Ortigia home, and would be delighted to be able to come back. Soon!
