We loved the terrace
We spent a happy month in Sabrina's apartment, with its great terrace - a much nicer and bigger terrace than in the photos on the website. The apartment is on the 7th floor and is remarkably quiet considering the noise and chaotic traffic in the streets. It is very spacious, with a large lounge and plenty of furniture - some modern glass tables but mainly old-fashioned ornate wooden furniture and large ornate mirrors.- the apartment was Sabrina's parents' home and has the feel of a Sicilian home rather than a functional holiday let.
Sabrina was very helpful. She arranged for us to be met at Catania airport, told us about the area, the restaurants, the shops and responded immediately when we had problems.
The area is convenient with plenty of shops, bars, restaurants and Deco, a useful upmarket supermarket that does home deliveries is less than 5 minutes walk away. The gardens of the Forum are a 5 minute walk: the bridge to Ortegia, where you can take a boat tour around the harbour, is an easy 15 minute walk: the train and bus stations are within 10 minutes. There are buses to Noto and to the beach at Arenella.
Our only criticism of the apartment was the lack of hot water in the kitchen and in one basin but if we returned to Syracuse we would certainly wish to stay in Sabrina's apartment again. After a hot, crowded day sightseeing we were thankful to return to our terrace, a glass of wine, and to watch the boats on the harbour.
