Guest comments
Thank you both for being so kind and supportive, your help has meant a lot. We are sorry to leave this lovely place and pretty apartment. I reccomend it to everyone for a wonderful holiday./ Jean and Charlie - We have been so glad to be able to stay in the heart of your wonderful city; to walk across the bridges into Ortigia; to wonder up to the Museum, the Theatre, the Anfhitheatre - just magic! We've seen the Caravaggio. We've been up to almost the top of Etna, all in a days trip by buses.Your apartment is the right size, in the right place, to make the most of a visit to Siracusa. Patricia and Michael - Thank you for your lovely apartment. We really enjoyed our time here, it was very relaxing and we particulary enjoyed cooking in the kitchen. We enjoyed the sights of Syracuse, it really is a beautiful and interesting city. Thank you for your cannoli and pizza recommendations. Michelle and Andrew.

Why the owner chose an apartment in this location
I was born in Siracusa and I love my town because the climate is mild and the sea is beautiful in every season.
Every stone speaks to you about the Greeks, Romans, Arabs,Spanish,... while you visit the monuments, you seem to walk with them.
The area is quiet and easily accessible with Catania airport less than an hours drive away.

The property is in strategic position and it is not essential to have the car. It's near the bridge that joins the dry land with Ortigia Island (the old town) and it is just 20 minutes walk from the Archeologic Park. The station and the terminal bus are only 600 metres away. There are many fabulous beaches at few kilometres. It is easy the access by car and to parking.
