About this house rental

Our apartments are located in the heart of the historic center of Ortigia, the ancient city, a treasure trove of culture and history, a few steps from the suggestive Piazza Duomo and the sea. The apartments are treated in detail and equipped with all modern comforts: Full kitchen, AC, SmartTv, WiFi. The apartments are independent and usable up to a maximum of 6 people by unifying two of the three units from the internal courtyard, becoming a single accommodation suitable for a group / family of 4/6 people.
Our newly renovated apartments blend a mix of modern comfort and Sicilian tradition thanks to the attention paid by our architect to the contemporary designer furnishings and the warm colors created by our local stone that embraces all the environments giving the suites a magical atmosphere for a unique stay.

The historic center of Ortigia is a ZTL area so the cars of non-residents are not allowed to circulate. Guests can park just outside Ortigia in a free area or park in the parking areas dedicated to non-residents on the island of Ortigia. I will provide any kind of useful information before check-in

The island of Ortigia, where our apartments are located, is a precious treasure chest of marvelous historic Baroque buildings, magnificent churches, and open-air archaeological sites. A few steps from home you will find the imposing Temple of Athena, now transformed into a Cathedral Church overlooking the suggestive main square and known for its sumptuous Baroque facade, continuing you will find the ancient Greek ruins of the Temple of Apollo and the Fonte Arethusa, the mythological source freshwater. The island also offers a wide choice of restaurants, cafes and outdoor bars where you can taste our typical dishes and sweets (Sicilian cannoli, almond granita, artisan ice creams), while a picturesque / folkloristic local market sells freshly caught fish, fruit. and seasonal vegetables and along with local specialties, creates the opportunity to cook yourself at home.
On the island, in some periods of the year, religious events take place such as the feast with centuries of tradition of Saint Lucia on December 13 and cultural events organized by the INDA (National Institute of Ancient Drama) for the annual review of the Classical Representations of Greek tragedies, put on in May and June and July and gathers visitors from all over the world. In addition, the Ortigia Film Festival, the Ares Film Festival (International Film Festival of Syracuse). Syracuse International Tango Festival. Ortigia Jazz Fastival.
finally and last but not least to underline the amazing sea that surrounds the whole island and where you can find set up in the summer several equipped beaches and solarium also with free access for a refreshing swim practically under the house.
Instead, for those wishing to leave the island and discover the sea in the surroundings, they can reach by car or bus several splendid sandy or rocky beaches (for example the Plemmirio Nature Reserve, Arenella, Ognina, Fontane Bianche, 15 to 30 min away And following the A18 motorway, in 30/50 minutes you can reach the most beautiful baroque cities of eastern Sicily (Noto, Modica, Ragusa Ibla, Scicli and / or Taormina). For all this and much more Ortigia is the perfect base for a holiday in Sicily.

8 / 10Excellent·Jun 2026
The location of this property was wonderful - - really could not ask for better. It is on a charming narrow street and close to restaurants and the sights of Ortigia. The Siracusa sights are across the bridge and take longer to reach. You do not need or want a car (we left our rental car in the Talete parking garage for the entirety of our stay). The flat is on the ground floor of an old building and has the charm and some quirks you would expect in a centuries old building, though it has been updated nicely. Our host, Mariangela, was incredibly responsive to our needs and questions. Our only hiccup was with the air conditioning; two of the three A/C units failed prior to our arrival and were not totally repaired until half way through our stay. This was not a fault of the host and she did everything she could to resolve the issue quickly. She even brought us her own fan to use.

6 / 10Average·Jun 2026
The location is great. The place is big and comfortable, the beds are nice and comfy. We were happy that the host provided beach towels, coffee, etc. Kitchen had pretty much everything we needed, we enjoyed that there was washer/dryer combo in the unit. The reason I only gave 3 stars are: 1-the place had a moldy smell, the host ensured us it is not a mold and we ran a/c as a dehumidifier to get rid of smell. It helped to reduce some but did not really addressthe smell. She also had the cleaning lady come and clean the showers once more. I ended up washing all my cloths at home to get rid of the smell. I beleive thatthe smeel needs to be addressed. 2-the place was dark, I value daylight a lot so to me it was a negative but may not be an issue for many people.
