This ground-floor apartment is an ideal base for a small family or group of friends on a Syracuse stay. Sure, it’s fairly fuss-free in style, and we think the kitchen is best suited to whipping up light bites, but this home’s all about the location for us. Dining out is a breeze with an abundance of eateries nearby, and Ortigia market is a must-visit. The Temple of Apollo is a stone’s throw away, or venture further south to discover the Cathedral of Syracuse, the Fountain of Diana, and Cala Rossa beach.

Home truths:
*You won't find an oven here – though there is a hob. We think the kitchen is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
*The bathrooms in this home are very small. That said, they have everything you need to get ready for the day.
*This home is located within an apartment building, with a shared entrance. Expect to bump into other guests during your stay.
*Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
