Fantastic location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The property fully met our needs and the lovely roof terrace was amazing. Fantastic sea views and just metres away from the steps down to the beach. Perfect for us.

Spacious accommodation directly on the sea. Commanding view from one of the two patios of the coastline punctuated by amazing sunrises. You have expansive outdoor living space to your own. The rooms were clean and efficient. The kitchen was well supplied and stocked with the things you would expect and need for making your own meals. Gas range top, full size, refrigerator / freezer with a nice eating area for four people. The bed was firm, but that is our preference. Key access and security was very good. A short drive to downtown and the historic district. Street parking was always available right in front of the building and was free. A rocky beach access is also adjacent to the property. A very restful and quiet neighborhood. There are no restaurants or retail to speak of close by but that did not detract from our three day stay. We had a great break in Syracuse, we would return to this property without hesitation.

Beautiful views and great host.

Overall 10/10, If you want to be on the island where everything is, it is a little walk (20 minutes) If you have a car no issues. The terrace is stunning and the unit is extremely well equipped. The hosts were very nice and easy going. Cannot beat the view.

Magical Terrace

This is a charming apartment with the most phenomenal terrace. The property is steps from the Ionian Sea. After a swim, we relaxed on the private terrace - it was heaven. We sat and enjoyed the view, morning, noon and night. We were treated to a full moon on a clear night which was a very memorable experience. Our host, Francesco, was very responsive to any questions we had. Staying in this home is a personal experience as you are interacting with the family that owns the home, not a corporation. It was a lovely experience. If you looking for a property where you can be mesmerized by the sea each day and spend peaceful hours watching boats, ships, see and hear waves crashing over rocks, this is the property for you. There is no better view to be had. Thanks to Francesco and his father for making our stay so enjoyable.

Excellent

The apartment was as seen on line. Two beautiful big terraces, one over looking the sea and bearable when it was very hot with the sea breeze. We went in the sea most days. Very rocky, but lovely once over them. We didn’t hire a car and walked everywhere. Tried the Syraka Sicilian Restaurant recommended on the board in kitchen. Excellent and returned again. Francesco and Laura were lovely and helpful. Wish we had stayed longer than a week.

Short Stay Option

The apartment is as it shows on the website - no frills but functional. The terrace would have been fabulous if the weather had been better, and this is a real 'selling point' of the apartment. The walk into Siracusa is 25 mins so very achievable. Taxis cost E20 each way. Parking is free and just outside the apartment. The owners were lovely and allowed an early check in. We had an issue which we told them about, which I am sure will have been resolved.

Shabby apartment with great terrace and view

We had a great stay but must say that the apartment would benefit from a systematic maintenance and a thorough clean - particularly of the kitchen and its utensils. It would for example be great with more than two mugs - just to give an example! Basic maintenance would do a lot to the standard of the apartment - the bed side tables were loose (we tightened them with a screwdriver!), the toilet seat was not fixed properly (we fixed with tape!) and the shower drain was clogged! With a little effort the standard could be substantially increased.

Fabulous terrace

This apartment is on the second floor - the advantage being that you step directly onto 2 terraces - one of which faces directly across the ocean. The view is absolutely fabulous and more than enough reason to stay here. There is a rocky beach here where it is possible to swim but you really need some sort of footwear to protect your feet. The apartment was well equipped however there was no oven or microwave in the kitchen and the bathroom had no hooks for towels or bathrobes while we were there. We also had trouble with the shower water not draining away - when we mentioned it to Francesco, he explained that you need to pour cleaning agent down the drain regularly. The bed was very comfy and the air conditioning worked very well. It is only 15 mins walk (level) to Ortigia however the neighbourhood has a disappointingly dirty and neglected air about it. Strange when you see how clean and well kept Ortigia is. Ortigia itself is wonderful - great architecture, views and restaurants/bars. The nearby Greek and Roman amphitheatres were within walking distance and definitely worth visiting. There were local buses and we did use them but you don’t really need them. Be warned, the trains have a capacity limit - we couldn’t buy tickets for a morning train to Noto because it was full so best to buy in advance. And the bus timetable we got from the Tourist centre was out of date. Our host was very friendly and helpful and we would stay here again.

The main attraction is the incredible view. Loved sitting on the terrace in the evenings. There’s is also a swimming area right downstairs - which is great for sunrise swims. The area is lovely and quiet & building safe. The owner is very helpful, great with communication & very accommodating. While there are no shops on the door step - they are about a km walk away. Two lovely beaches with sunbeds only 400m in either direction from apartment, and lovely restaurants 400m away too. The apartment could do with a little maintenance… but I really loved my stay here. Thank you

Nous avons passe 3 nuits dans cet appartement tres original. Tres calme, Une grande terrasse "sur la mer" côté Est pour les apéritifs avec vue sur Ortigia, une terrasse Ouest pour les peti dej. Un accès a la plage en bas de l immeuble pour la baignade. C est ce qu il nous fallait pour cette chaleur du mois de juin ( 30). A 30mn a pied d'Ortigia et des embarcadères. Nous n avons pris la voiture que pour visiter le parc archeologique.

2 fabulous terraces

We spent a very nice week in Francesco's apartment. We received a friendly welcome from him. There was always a parking space in the dead-end street. The furnishings and available space were sufficient for us. However, we chose the place for the terraces and the view was truly phenomenal on all sides. It was still very warm in October and the mosquitoes were active in the evening. If you want to sleep with open windows, it is best to bring a mosquito net, but there is also air conditioning. To visit the archaeological park and Ortigia we rented an electric bicycle from Greenbike. They brought the bicycle to our apartment and thanks to the bicycle we avoided traffic jams and parking problems in the center. Highly recommended.

Rooftop Heaven

I could not believe just how lucky I was when I walked into the little rooftop apartment. Beautifully bright, lovely size for just me (or a couple). Clean. A lovely size bathroom and bedroom… but the real win here are the two very large patios (we are on the roof of the building). Just a stone throw from the sea the balcony sits above the sound of waves and is greeted by the sunrise directly in front of you each morning. Absolutely stunning! And just a 15minutes walk to the main center. I would stay again! And again!

Urlaub in Syrakus

Für uns war es ein schöner Urlaub. Der Vermieter war sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Die Lage und die Aussicht von der Terrasse ist einfach traumhaft schön. Es gab immer einen Parkplatz vor der Tür. Das Centrum zur Altstadt war in 15 Minuten zu erreichen. Leider war die Einrichtung etwas abgewohnt und auch einige Möbel defekt. Die Küche war gut ausgestattet.
