Roberta ist sehr sehr gastfreundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Appartement ist liebevoll eingerichtet und mir allem ausgestattet, was man braucht.

Syracuse est vraiment magnifique. L'appartement avec sa petite terrasse donnant sur la mer permet de passé des moments très agréable au calme! À recommander sans hésitation

Our apartment was as lovely as we expected, very comfortable and in a perfect location surrounded by beautiful little streets which we explored in the evenings. We had a nice terrace which was just right for enjoying a glass of wine and watching the sun go down and we even had access to 2 bikes as part of our rental. Roberta and her family were very kind and helpful and were always ready to offer advice and make our stay an even better one. I would highly recommend this apartment if you plan to stay in the most beautiful part of Siracusa

We stayed in Ortigia for 1 week and had a wonderful time. Roberta and her family were very kind and always ready to offer any help or advice during our time in her lovely apartment. The location was fantastic, right in the heart of historic Ortigia and surrounded by many small, beautiful streets perfect for exploring. The market was a real highlight and we ate in most of the time cooking the amazing ingredients we had bought that day. Very nice terrace to sit out on during the evening. Perfect holiday.

Très bel petit appartement au calme et d’un charme absolu. Literie excellente et la vue sur la mer de la terrasse de l’appartement Medusa est extraordinaire. Accueil des propriétaires exemplaire. Propreté irréprochable. La cuisine est un peu petite pour préparer de vrais repas mais il est tellement agréable de déjeuner ou dîner dans les Nombreux endroits de ortigia. Toutes les places les rues de la ville ont un cadre enchanteur. Grazie !

My husband and I spent one week in the apartement "Medusa" in La Gorgone in January. We can confirm all previous positive feedback. The apartement is small but has everything we needed including a small radiator, which heated the kitchen/living room in the mornings and evenings. All gadgets worked well. For the bedroom we didn't need the heater because Roberta equipped the beds with a very warm duvet, which is very convenient in winter. In the mornings we watched the sunrise from the rooftop terrace and as soon as it appeared we sat there without jacket and listened to the waves of the nearby Mar Iònio and enjoyed our first latte macchiati. The area is quiet and safe. A few steps away from the apartement you can find a vegetable stall where you can buy fresh seasonal vegetables. We were welcomed by Sibana, Roberta's mother a very nice lady who speaks English very well. She explained everything about the apartement to us, gave hints for shops and restaurants and sights to vistit in the area. In the lounge 0f "La Gorgone" there is a folder and a scrapbook with more recommendations. We added two about hiking trips to the necropoles at Pantalica and on the coast south of Ortigia. We felt at home very quickly at "Medusa" and it was a nice place to relax after our sightseeing or hiking trips. On the kitchen table we found a basket with delicious almond sweets as welcome gift but this is only a small sign that hospitality is very important at "La Gorgone". Experience yourselves.

Nous avons été très bien accueillis.Logement conforme à la description de l'annonce et très propre.La terrasse avec vue sur la mer très agréable. L'appartement est idéalement situé pour profiter de la mer si vous allez en été;La cuisine est petite mais fonctionnelle.Il y avait tellement de bons restaurants et trattoria dans les environs que finalement nous avons rarement utilisé la cuisine,nous avons bien apprécié les deux vélo à disposition pour se balader le long de la mer;la propriétaire est très disponible pour répondre à tout problèmeOrtigia est superbe!!!! à recommander sans hésiter!

Nonostante il supporto degli host con una stufetta supplementare, la casa é strutturalmente poco adatta a scaldarsi negli inverni umidi di Ortigia...ha il soffitto molto alto e la pompa di calore era posizionata nel punto più alto...dunque gli strati bassi restavano freddi. Avendo una bimba piccola abbiamo dovuto andar via, purtroppo. I proprietari non ci sono venuti incontro, non prevedendo per policy il rimborso... Ps. Al nostro arrivo la terrazza era inagibile perché il vento aveva provocato il distacco di piastrelle di rivestimento...

The location of the property is excellent. It's located in the heart of Ortigia, which makes it very convenient. The rooms are spacious and in great condition, making the stay very pleasant. The A/C works really well, which is definitely a plus given how warm Sicily gets in the summer months. My favorite part of the stay was the stuff. Roberta, the hotel manager, is a wonderful person. She is great at her job and also incredibly nice. The whole time I was there, she showed great commitment to making the guests' stay as pleasant as possible and she was also pleasant to talk to. I made feel like at home! I most definitely recommend La Gorgone to anyone traveling to Siracusa.

Lovely, cosy apartment in the heart of Ortigia but, at the same time, very close to the sea. It is perfect for a holiday with your other half, as I did. Nice terrace,we appreciated having our breakfast with the wonderful sea view. Roberta is a fantastic host, going to extra mile to help with any questions you may have. We had a wonderful stay , strongly recommended! :)

Ortigia ist eine wunderbare alte Stadt, alles ist fußläufig zu erreichen. Wir haben Ausflüge mit dem Auto nach Noto und Ragusa gemacht, auch ins Naturschutzgebiet Vendicara, alles gut zu erreichen und wunderschön. Zum Meer sind es nur ein paar Schritte und es gibt unzählige - sehr gute - Restaurants in Ortigia. Das Apartment ist klein, aber gut ausgestattet; die Vermieterin war ausgesprochen hilfsbereit und hat auch im Vorfeld alle Fragen beantwortet. Einziger Minuspunkt: die Aussicht von der kleinen Terrasse ist nicht so idyllisch wie auf den Fotos - man blickt auf eine Brandruine, ehe man das Meer sieht. Ansonsten war alles ansprechend.

The apartment is fantastically situated only minutes away from the sea where we swam from the rocks every day. It is very comfortable with everything you could need. The little patio for drying clothes was very convenient. Fabio (Roberta's brother) met us and very kindly sorted out the complicated parking for us. The island itself is very picturesque with lots of lovely shops, bars and restaurants. The market is good for food and we had the best sandwiches in the world at the famous sandwich man's stall - although be prepared to queue (the time goes quickly as it's like performance art!). We went during the Ortigia Film Festival which was an added bonus. Open air free films, several in English or with sub- titles. The archeology museum in Syracuse is also well worth a visit - there's tons to see. Also the Greek theatre etc. We took a day trip to Noto, which is quite small but did have the best ice cream in the world. And swam at one of the many beautiful golden beaches on the way home. We also had an excellent, reasonably priced boat trip to see the caves and swim from a the boat. All all I can thoroughly recommend Ortigia as a base and Roberta's lovely flat. We wouldn't have bothered with a car though as parking is difficult and we just walked everywhere anyway. We would definitely go back - already missing the sunbathing on the 'solarium'.

C'est une ville qu'il faut découvrir et qu'on apprend à aimer au fil des jours. Il y fait bon flâner, visiter de superbes églises et monuments et aller à la mer.

Die Unterkunft war gut für 2 Personen.Bei der Ankunft ist man die engen Gassen nicht gewöhnt.Das Frühstück auf der Terrasse mit dem Blick aufs Meer ist schon toll. Unsere Vermieterin hat sich um alles gekümmert und war bemüht uns den Aufenthalt so gut es geht angenehm zu gestalten,trotz der Sprachprobleme.

Very helpful host and the apparement is in the middle of the city. The apartment is comfortable and has all the basics you need.

Spent a fantastic week at Roberta's place. She met us even though late at night and gave us loads of great tips about how to spend our time - even explaining the unfathomable parking regulations of Ortigia. The apartment was excellent - very clean and great location with a beautiful roof terrace. Roberta - and her delightful mum - were perfect hosts and I will be recommending La Gorgone to my friends for sure.

I loved staying at this apartment. It's so pretty (I felt like we were staying in a castle with the lovely arches and exposed stone) and has everything we needed. We were welcomed by Roberta's mum who was very friendly and told us everything we needed to know. We also loved the location... It's close to a solarium, electric bus stop, has a little supermarket and bakery just around the corner, a lovely bar nearby. It's easy walking distance to all the main sights (or electric bus). I loved my time in Ortigia and wish I was staying longer.

I and my partner we loved our stay in Roberta's beautiful apartment. The location is great, the interior is very cosy, the sea view from the roof terrace is absolutely stunning and Roberta and family are warm, welcoming and helpful hosts. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect apartment in Syracuse!
