Oct 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location #### Just ok The location is great. The owner was very specific about rules. The rules should have been written down, it was hard to remember all of the rules for the house after a long car ride there. No cooking any fish, lights must all be turned out, no flushing toilet tissue in the commode (which is disgusting), and the two bedrooms is one and a pull out couch in the living room. ##### Kim G.

Oct 8, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The Garden of Lucia We really enjoyed everything at The Garden of Lucia, especially the hospitality of Pietro, our host, and his family, Loredana and Giordano. The apartment and the private courtyard garden are beautiful. We enjoyed sitting outside in the evening after returning from dinner with the faint scent of jasmine in the air. The location in the Centro Storico is very peaceful yet you are steps from from cafés, restaurants and activities. Pietro, grazie mille. Paul and Mary ##### Paul B. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Mar 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location, nice owners, but not perfect for everyone First the good: the location is wonderful and the Pietro and his wife are very kind. The room is clean and well equipped. We got the impression that the owner may have been burned by previous renters as he was very insistent on points that most VRBO hosts would just leave in a note on the table in the room. These included turning the heat off when we left and taking care to do the same with the lights. All valid concerns but the intensity of this insistence was off putting. The floors are very, very cold – and neither of us ever have cold feet. We wore our shoes anytime we had to walk inside.My guess is that this is why previous guests ran the heat continuously. Lastly, and this is a small aesthetic thing: there are only bright white overhead lights in the rooms – a little bit hospital-like. For us they made being in the space uncomfortable. A few table lamps would have made the place cozier. All in all, we have no regrets about staying with Pietro, though would likely not for our future visits to Siracusa. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tanja B.
