If you dream of staying in a historic building in your travels to Ortigia/Syracusa this is the place! Beautiful courtyarded building with 2nd floor apartment. A peaceful oasis on Ortigia. Kitchen was beatifully equipped with extra touches. There were 5 of us and we did not have any issues sharing the one bathroom which was large and roomy. Antonella is charming! The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable - the only thing to note is that the 2 bedrooms other than the main are lofted up a small spiral staircase which was fun for our children. One of the upstairs bedrooms is open to the kitchen below but this was perfect the children and the open windows for breezes. Lovely restaurant around the corner and across from the puppet museum. We would love to stay here again.
