If needed, a single bed with a mattress is available upon request.
For stays longer than 4 nights, you can request a cleaning service (for a fee) to be arranged with the host. The apartment is located in a prime spot in the city, at the heart of the major attractions; just a 10-minute walk from the historic center of Ortigia, a true gem nestled by the sea, and a 10-minute walk from the Neapolis Archaeological Park, home to ancient monuments such as the Greek Theater, the Ear of Dionysius, and the Latomie, among others. Just a stone’s throw away is the Church of Saint Lucy, patron saint of the city, along with the adjacent Piazza Santa Lucia—one of Syracuse’s most beautiful squares, where you can visit the charming antique and local produce market every Sunday. Just a few hundred meters away is the picturesque Porto Piccolo “Lakkios,” which in the summer hosts the Sbarcadero sunbathing area, where you can take a dip in the splendid waters off Syracuse.
About 200 meters away are the Basilica Sanctuary of the Madonna delle Lacrime and the Paolo Orsi Archaeological Museum. Just a few minutes’ walk away, on Corso Gelone, you’ll find public transportation stops to reach the city’s tourist attractions and Catania’s Fontanarossa Airport. The train station is a 5-minute walk away.
