Amazing central location
We had a great stay with our boys (3 & 5), the location is so central. We had to change our transport plans at the last minute and we quickly realised that there was so much to see in the immediate area that we didn't need a car. The apartment is a really good size, especially the living room which is very large. Communication was great and Salvatore was very patient despite our later than expected arrival. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Highly recommended
The property is large, light and well equipped, an oasis of quiet on the bustling peninsula of Ortigia, beautifully located in the heart of the historic centre of Siracusa. The proprietors are kind and helpful, came to meet us at the bus stop by car to take and our luggage to the apartment. They explained clearly how the apartment works, and were utterly discreet yet helpful. The size of the apartment, 95 square meters and the light flooding in through the large windows are a delight. The balcony is ideal for breakfast outside or a conversation at dusk. A parasole protected us from the relentless sun. We, a married couple, preserve the best possible memories of the apartment and warmly recommend it.

Lovely quiet apartment.
Lia and Salvatore were very helpful and welcoming. The apartment is in a very quiet spot overlooking a small courtyard. There is so much to see in Ortigia with its abundance of little streets. Such a pretty and beautifully historical place to visit . The Piazza del Duomo is quite amazing architecturally.

Two Week stay in Ortigia
We enjoyed our stay at this comfortable and modernly furnished apartment. It is set in a peaceful side street/court yard in the heart of Ortigia. Both Lia and Salvatore provided good communication prior to and during our stay in particular helping with nearby car parking arrangements. This was pricey at 15 euros a day however it was convenient in terms of the location to the apartment and the owners provided a good service. A clean, spacious and tidy apartment which based on our stay we would highly recommend. Thanks to Lia and Salvatore. Nb: If you plan to visit mount Etna we would recommend you budget for the cable car/bus option as opposed to attempting to walk to the summit. This was priced at 65 euros pp which although expensive you soon realise is well worth it.
