Rosalba is the perfect hostesss.. I cannot begin to tell you how much i enjoyed my stay with her. Rosalba's home is immaculately clean with all modern conveniences. The bedroom was large, bright and airy with patio doors onto a nice ,large balcony. A lovely new private bathroom with large shower was very much welcomed. Rosalba is the perfect hostess because she really cares about her guests and is a very kind lady. Nothing is too much trouble for her and she only uses top quality food and drinks for her guests. The tasty Sicilian meals Rosalba cooked for me were beautiful and on par, or better, than most restaurants i visited- she is clearly a wonderful cook. Breakfast on the balcony every morning was a wonderful way to start the day. When i arrived in Syracuse Rosalba picked me up from the bus stop in her car and took me to the apartment which was very kind of her. The apartment is elegant, spacious, very well decorated and in a nice area. Rosalba is a font of all knowledge on Sicily and kindly let me know where to visit and when. She also gave me a personal guided walking tour of Syracuse and Ortigia which was a great introduction to Sicily. I cannot recommend Rosalba and her wonderful hospitality enough. I was very sad to leave. I will definitely be returning to Syracuse as i loved my stay there so much.
