Great location in Ortigia
We stayed a month and so appreciated the size of the property and rooms, and the terrace, and facilities such as washing machine and kitchen. The location is great giving easy walking access to everything in Ortigia and also Syracuse area, including the station. but don't expect an early night's sleep as the music from the restaurants and nightclubs is quite loud especially on weekends. But the advantages of the location outweigh those negatives. A few minor issue along the way, but our host responded very quickly.

Über der Altstadt von Siracusa
Die zentrale Lage auf Ortigia, in unmittelbarer Nähe zum Obst-, Gemüse und Fischmarkt lässt eine andere Welt eintauchen. Nur das Parken gestaltet sich kompliziert. In der Nähe gibt es das kostenpflichtige Parkhaus Talete, ansonsten fanden wir auf dem Corso Gelone, 10 min. zu Fuß meistens einen Parkplatz. Das Schlafzimmer hat kein Fenster, sondern eine verglaste Tür zum Flur. Die helle Wohnung befindet sich ohne Aufzug im obersten Stockwerk des Gebäudes, vom Wohnzimmer gelangt man direkt auf eine schöne Dachterrasse. Die Ausstattung in der Küche ist sehr gut und die Wohnung ist mit Geschmack dekoriert.
