We’ve stayed in apartments in New York City, Italy, Spain and Croatia.

Siracusa, the ancient Greek stronghold on the south-east coast of Sicily, is seductive in May. Although Spring temperatures should be mild, the stone streets and buildings of this World Heritage listed town, store and radiate the mid-day heat. Sensible locals take a long Siesta with the shutters firmly pulled down, but we cannot resist discovering more Siracusa …
