About this apartment rental
Casa Sophia is a traditional Sicilian two-floor style house with a sunny terrace overlooking the rooftops of Ortigia. Always related to art, this house was the home of a famous Sicilian painter at the beginning of the last century, and it was later inhabited by a restorer and now owned by a theatre director. Casa Sophia is recommended for guests looking for an original, exclusive and chaos-free environment. It is bright and located in a quaint alley, it consists of a large bedroom with a vaulted ceiling and a classic small balcony overlooking the alley, a living room with a large and comfortable sofa bed, a bathroom and a kitchen with a dining area overlooking a courtyard. The flooring of the house dates back to the early 1900s. The terrace, perfect for lunches and dinners, is furnished with a table, chairs and an umbrella. With all its amenities, Casa Sophia can accommodate up to 4 persons. The famous Piazza Duomo is only 150 meters away. Its location allows guests to reach major sites with historical value within a few minutes of walking. Located approximately 200 meters away from the sea, it is also extremely close to the beautiful Church of St. John the Baptist, known as “San Giovannello” , the old Jewish baths, the Puppet theatre, bars, shops, restaurants, the shuttle stop, a supermarket, a bakery and much more.

Summary of reviewsBeautifully arranged property in a historic location with personal touches and a cozy atmosphere. Outstanding welcome and helpful staff. Highly recommended.
8 / 10Excellent·Jul 2025
A very characterful property bedecked with artistic reminders of the owners; very convenient for a stay in Syracuse and with a local delicatessen/ supermarket a few hundred meters away . the stairs to the roof garden are a bit steep but worth the climb and the shower was small for someone of 110+ kilos but otherwise perfect. Please note that the description fails to mention that they have air conditioning in the living room and a fan in the bedroom which was essntial during the heatwave.

If you prefer to stay in a place that genuinely feels lived in versus a sterile hotel room you would enjoy staying here. It’s a bohemian atmosphere filled with art and located in a residential neighborhood with the sounds of families nearby
10 / 10Outstanding·Mar 2025
We liked everything about this place - the narrow alley walkway lined with plants, the location - close to most everything, the apartment itself with a very well stocked pantry, art everywhere, a charming, plant filled roof top terrace. And Marco, the host manager was extremely helpful. We felt so fortunate to experience life in Ortigia there for a few days.

We loved our stay at Casa Sophia--as others have mentioned, it has a sweet quirkyness to it. We enjoyed dinner on the terrace and loved the location--so close to everything you want to see and experience. The checkin and checkout process was super easy. We highly recommend this property.
