I had a very enjoyable time staying at Michele and Lucia's imaginatively designed place in Ortigia. The location is excellent and the apartment has wonderful views over the sea and the old town.There are a couple of hazards for the unwary including the stairs and some low ceilings but overall the place is a delight and I would certainly recommend it as a base for exploring Siracusa and beyond. Lucia deserves her reputation for being an efficient and responsive host making sure that everything went very smoothly with the booking and helping out with lots of local knowledge.I would love to come back.
