Our stay in Ortigia

The property is very central. The apartment is very quirky with lots of art. We ate out so didn’t use kitchen really but it looked well equipped. Although it didn’t bother us this apartment may not be very good for the elderly as a lot of stairs. Overall we really enjoyed this apartment and loved Ortigia.

Great property in the best part of Ortigia

This apartment is full of character and in a very attractive part of the old Jewish quarter, close to local shops and very handy for exploring Ortigia. Perhaps the best single thing about the property is the sun terrace - blissful! Highly recommended.

Charming with wonderful terrace

Communications and checking were excellent! Location excellent on a charming street with everything you need a few steps away including the famous puppet theater! And everything you want to see in this tiny Island in easy walking distance. The apartment is homey and comfortable, fully equipped. The upstairs bedroom has a sloped ceiling and beams which make it difficult to stand in the low places—the occasional head bump. Water system and plumbing worked well. Bathroom is a wet room with integrated shower, no problems. Clean and comfortable! Thank you Melina and Viviana for a sweet stay in Ortigia.

It's like a home away from home.

For travellers who are looking to stay somewhere with character - not a generic polished hotel. It's like a home away from home.

Wonderful holiday, very generous accommodation but does need air conditioning!

The apartment is superbly located a short walk from Syracuse Cathedral, all the restaurants & shops on the island of Ortigia plus a good range of small supermarkets practically next door. The large, superbly equipped apartment is on the second floor with an internal glass staircase to the 2nd bedroom & sunny terrace -though the staircase has only one handrail so possible not for the nervous or suitable for children. The main drawback is the lack of air conditioning; we were there in September with temperatures in the mid to high 80s and we had to use the fan all night in the bedroom.
