The Island of Ortigia, in Siracusa, is a beautiful place and Gianluca's apartment is the perfect setting from which to enjoy both. The apartment is large, comfortable, well appointed, nicely decorated, well furnished, has comfortable beds and was very clean. Air conditioners work well and there is hi definition TV. The best thing about the apartment is the location,...only steps from the Archimedes Piazza and very close to the Duomo Piazza. Gianluca met us at our car and led us to the apartment. Parking is a manageable walk away, but that is true even for hotels on the Island. He provided a map, good advice on sightseeing and restaurants. The kitchen and bathroom are very modern. We had the misfortune of getting a parking ticket on the last night and because our flight was so early we couldn't take care of it. We gave him the fine money and he took care of paying it for us. If we ever return to Ortigia, we will call Gianluca first and we would commend his apartment to anyone wishing to enjoy this beautiful Island and City.
