Perfect apartment for our stay in Siracusa. Close enough to easily walk to Ortigia, to the greek theatre, archeological museum, to some beautiful churches, and to my italian school. 2 blocks away from Santa Lucia where the Siracusian Caravaggio painting currently is. 15-20 min walk to the train/bus station, near grocery stores, bakeries, gelato, etc. The kitchen was lovely and fully equipped (we ate in about half the times), air conditioning was great for the 40°C heat, everything was just as the photos/descriptions, perhaps a little nicer and more comfortable than expected. Simona welcomed us and gave us lots of information and answered many of my questions. Highly recommended!
A few Siracusa suggestions: gelato Voglia Matta, ristorante La Foglia, Museo Archeologico Regionale Paolo Orsi, fresh orange juice from Just Veggie, check out the Caravaggio painting - it's worth it, also the Duomo is magnificent.
