Comfortable and a great location
The apartment is in a fantastic position close to the main sights and shops. It was also off a courtyard and so was extremely quiet. The apartment is spacious with a comfortable lounge and dining area. We appreciated the kitchen with everything you needed to cook. Having a washing machine provided was great . Lastly the bed was very comfortable. I would highly recommend staying here.

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!

Beautiful, spacious, quiet apartment centrally located in Ortigia. A few minutes walk from everything: restaurants, beach, outdoor market. Thirty minute walk to the Archeological Park. The apartment is well outfitted to allow your own cooking as well, so you can take advantage of the Ortigia Market. Multiple parking options, including an underground garage arranged by the host.

Lovely Ortigia Apartment
Lia and Salvatore have a very nice, roomy flat on a quiet courtyard. The apartment is huge by Italian standards - even a kitchen big enough for a table and equipped with all you would need to cook. Salvatore graciously arranged parking and met us so we could find it! The weather kept us from using the little balcony and table, but we otherwise really enjoyed our stay.

Siracusa review
We had a great stay with Lia and Salvatore in their beautiful apartment in Siracusa. For anyone needing 2 separate beds...this is a great option. The bathroom is entered from the main living area, so no one is disturbed during the night. The neighborhood is quiet and convenient. Our hosts were helpful with advice and introducing us to a private driver for a day trip. We would stay here again and recommend to friends.

Wonderful Place in Ortigia
We would recommend this place. It was very comfortable, full of light, lots of storage, quiet and convenient location and the owners were very kind and helpful. Once we figured out the small, cobbled back passageways, we were able to walk anywhere on the island within 8 minutes. We loved our time in Ortigia!

This felt like home - Italian style - in Sicily
We stayed at Lia and Salvatore's apartment for three nights in the middle of our 10 days in Sicily. It worked out very well as it is so comfortable and has a washing machine! The apartment is well equipped and is decorated with artistic flair. The location is excellent, the little grocery store (Gusto) a few steps away has everything you need and nearby Dada's Bistro is a super little spot. This is a great place to stay in a fascintating city.
