Everything you need in a great location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Jan's flat in Ortigia. There were some initial communication problems due to the VRBO app. Once that was resolved everything went smoothly. Lynette arranged our pickup at the airport and met us. The flat had everything we needed, including a new kitchen, in a historic waterfront building. We could easily walk everywhere in Ortigia. The bus around the island takes you into Siracusa for exploring historic sites there. We highly recommend Casa Anita as the perfect base for exploring Ortigia!

Sea view location

Very helpful communication with Lynette for check in and during our 4 day stay. The location of apartment is convenient for the market that’s well worth a visit and also 10 minute walk for a swim. The main bedroom is spacious and has sea view although would have been nice to open lower shutter for better view. Sleeps 4 comfortably if you use bed settee instead of second bedroom. Having washing machine was a bonus and enough kitchen equipment. Road outside was busy during day and quiet at night just sound of the sea. Ortigia is a beautiful unique place to visit we really enjoyed exploring it.

Brilliantly situated apartment in Ortigia

This spacious apartment is extremely well situated with lovely views straight over the sea. The agent met us at the apartment when we arrived at around 23.30 and was not put out by the lateness of the hour. She welcomed us and showed us what was necessary to know. Ortigia is lovely with so much to see and so many good restaurants and bars to enjoy, if you are not soaking up the sun promenading or on the beach. The apartment is very well situated for easy walking to everything. We were delighted by our first visit to Sicily and our choice of accommodation.

About the host

Hosted by Janice Sheehy

I live in England but spend as much time as possible at my apartment. It is home from home and has all the necessary amenities for a wonderful holiday. I am trying to learn Italian as there is less English spoken here than other parts of Italy. I live amongst Italians and have made many friends here. I especially like it when my neighbours and the local shops, including the market, recognise and acknowledge me every time and make me feel so very much at home.

Why they chose this property

I first visited Siracusa in 2001 and did not know about Ortigia but when I first drove over the bridge into Ortigia I fell in love with it. It is wonderful, full of beautiful old buildings Ortigia oozes history and it never ceases to amaze me. You live amongst real people, doing their daily work. The fish market is real and alive and just sitting at a local coffee bar you can capture every aspect of local life whilst watching the world go by. There is something to suit everyone, eating a meal in a romantic setting overlooking the sea, swimming from the rocks, shopping in designer shops or the market, relaxing on a beach or visiting fabulous historical sites. Horse drawn carriages, cobblestone streets where you can wander for hours and lovely churches to admire. This is real Italy.

What makes this property unique

There is a new facade on my property, and new windows, shutters and a new balcony. My newly decorated master bedroom and lounge overlook the sea and I love to watch the sunrise in the mornings. This bed now faces the new balcony and you can watch the sea without having to get up. It is also possible to eat breakfast on my terrace whilst still being able to see the water. I love to shop at the market on a daily basis for fresh fish, fruit and vegetables and to banter with the shopkeepers whilst being offered samples of their foods. To walk to the rocks and swim for an hour or two and if it is too hot to go down again in the evening for another swim. There are also many historical opportunities ranging from the Greek ampitheatre, even watching plays there to the catacombs and fabulous archeaological sites both in Ortigia and within walking distance. There is also Interbus direct from Catania airport to Siracusa which runs several times a day and is only €5.70.
