Holiday rentals with beach access in Island of Ortigia

Casa Flora was very convenient for all the restaurants and attractions on Ortigia. The apartment was clean and comfortable with some stylish touches. Chiara and Gabriele were very responsive to a couple of requests.

My wife and I traveled to Ortigia with our daughter for her 25th birthday. This home checked all the boxes when we booked it. Location on the water, nice modern home, walking distance to everything we wanted to see. But, when we got there, it was so much more amazing than we could have imagined. The home is beautiful - on the water with a stunning rooftop deck and amazing sunsets. Its situated right in the heart of Ortigia next to Fountain Arethusa. Walk out the front door onto the cobble streets to restaurants, coffee bars, shops. Turn right and walk a few minutes to Castello Maniace. Turn left and walk a few minutes to the Piazza Duomo. Yolande was an amazing host. Communication was great. Answered all my questions and helped find us a driver for the week which turned out to be one of the best decisions we made. Our driver, Beppe, was born in Ortigia and taught us more about Sicily during our car rides than any guide we could have round. Grazie Yolande!

Lovely apartment right in the centre of Ortigia. The place is on a nice quiet street so no crowd noises in the evenings. Loads of restaurants and shops in walkable distance. Ortigia has traffic restrictions so parking is about 20 min walk. The view from the balcony was amazing and the sea is just at the end of the street!

A wonderful place to stay! Beautiful views of the boats in the little harbor. Easy, quick walk into Ortigia. Beware that the spiral staircase to upper bedroom and bath could be a bit tricky for older folks to navigate. A lovely 2 bedroom/2 bath unit with kitchen, dining and couch/TV area and washer/dryer. Alverio was very quick to respond to any questions or concerns. A perfect host in a perfect place!

We were guests at Daniela's for the second time. The apartment is large has shabby charm, nothing is new, but it is somehow romantic. The location is perfect and we love the large roof terrace. It is totally quiet and you can hear and see the sea and you are still in the middle of the old town.

The apartment is just as described , we had a couple of problems Stefania and her husband took care of it very quickly to solve it , there is a place to park it is not a minor fact in Italy , the area is super quiet , for my taste a little far from the attractions

Maria’s apartment was perfect for our group of 6! The place was spacious, clean, tastefully decorated, and equipped with everything we could need during our trip. It was also perfectly located, quiet but close to all the main sights of Ortigia. Maria was an excellent host, very accommodating and responsive to our questions. I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Ortigia!

We loved the apartment and found it to be very spacious and comfortable - we especially liked the panoramic view of the lagoon and Syracuse. Santi was a great host. The area around the apartment is beautiful and quiet - the beach is a five minute walk. Probably wouldn’t suit those seeking nightlife and restaurants on their doorstep, but Syracuse is only a short drive away. Although not an issue for ourselves, the steep staircase would not suit elderly or infirm guests, but Santi kindly carried our suitcase up and down the stairs! We would thoroughly recommend.

Great place close to Ortigia, walkable. Apartment was as described, the only thing to mention is there was construction outside the apartment, however little to no noise, very few workers. Didn’t interfere in enjoying our stay. Would recommend!

We loved our stay in the old city. Even with two little children. Although situated in the hart of Ortigia it was quite. The apartment is perfect. In the morning get your breakfast at Viola, end of the day go to the little beach close to the house. Beautiful place and contact with the owner of the house was just perfect, answers in minutest en was really helpful.

Attentive host who greeted us at the property personally and remained at our disposal throughout our stay. Lovely home, very comfortable throughout with a well considered roof terrace which maximised the space and made it the perfect spot for early morning coffees and sundowners alike.

A fantastic apartment for a family. Extremely quiet and amazing location, steps from the sea. Rooftop deck has views of both the sunrise and sunset! Very clean, comfy beds, and modern. We would definitely stay here again. The host helped us with everything, and provided wonderful restaurant recommendations.

Even nicer than we imagined- the patio is right off the bedroom making it super easy to use for breakfast and afternoon drinks. It has the best view in the city!

I stayed at Lucas apartment a few days short of three months time. Luca has done a wonderful job designing the apartment. It's in a very interesting and well located small complex. I've already written two other reviews as I extended my visit twice. Outside of the apartment being lovely and in a great location what really stood out and meant so much to me was getting to know Luca. He is such a kind and caring person. Unortunately during my stay I was dealing with some health issues. Luca could not have been more supportive. More than being my landlord he has been a friend. Grazie mille Luca Wishing you all the best always.

Giuliana was a wonderful host – warm, welcoming, and always discreet. Her beautiful Shanti is a truly special place: the house is stunning, peaceful, and the pool adds a magical touch. We felt at home from the very first moment. Giuliana was always available with helpful suggestions and made our stay in Sicily even more enjoyable. Her kindness and care made a real difference. This has been a holiday we will always remember with joy. Thank you, Giuliana, from all of us – we hope to return soon to this little oasis of peace.

Very comfortable apartment in great location. Perfect for 2 couples. Would stay there again.

Fantastic 3 weeks at Francesco`s beautiful apartment - superbly located on Isola Ortigia, an absoultely spectacular place. Lively even during winter and a number of sights (Neapolis is a must!). Went to the food market for fish and greens and made dinner at home every other day or so. Otherwise a number of very good restaurants within a 500m radius. Breakfast and lunches on the spectacular terrase, short/t-shirt at least half the days (when in the sun) even during winter. Francesco was very helpful when we needed some minor assistance with heating and dishwasher. The heating system was the best I have every come across in Italy - water heated radiators, not only the usual A/C. All in ll - spotless!

We had an amazing stay at Melitza! Rita is lovely and was super helpful and responsive throughout our stay. She reached out well ahead of time to offer recommendations throughout Ortigia/Syracuse and to provide parking and check in instructions . The apartment itself is a short walk from everything in Ortigia and also tucked away on a quieter side street. The unit is quite large and very clean, and there are plenty of amazing restaurants and cafes within a 5 minute walk. Would definitely recommend this place as a home base while you explore the area!

Amazing air BnB - awesome roof terrace!

We have stayed in over 30 AirBNBs across 3 continents and 14 in Italy. Lucia’s place was the one that we felt most at home in. The location is fantastic and makes it easy to explore Ortigia. We spent 10 wonderful nights here and only used our car once in that time. I’d strongly recommend you take Lucia’s advice with car parking options. Lucia is the best AirBNB host I have encountered. Super responsive, engaging and her attention to detail is spot on. My wife loved playing the piano and I loved swimming in the Med each day. The apartment is spacious and well appointed - if feels like a loved and loved in home not the usual AirBNB. We loved our time here and cannot recommend this property and especially Lucia enough.

Apartment in the heart of Ortigia but off the beaten path, excellent location and communication always at the top. Quiet and cozy apartment. The small bar of "Irma la dolce" below the house is an extra point.

We stayed there for two nights and had a great time in Ortigia. The cute apartment is equipped with everything needed and from there it‘s just a few steps to the sea!

The listing is clean, according to the description and photos. The room is large and the bed is comfortable. It is very close to Ortigia on foot and the daily market for shopping and not far from the bus and train station to get to Catania, Noto, Raguse etc. it is quiet which is good for resting at night. For those who are used to sleeping in complete darkness remember to take a mask there is no shutter and public lighting is present. Fabio is very responsive to messages and very friendly. Check-in is easy and independent. We didn't miss anything, we had a lovely stay and recommend this place.

This was a fantastic base for our 5 nights in Ortigia - accessible on foot to everything we wanted to do, about 10 minutes from the InCoop supermarket which supplied us well for cooking in the small but perfectly formed kitchen. Lots of thoughtful/artistic touches, from artworks to bathroom and kitchen supplies. A wonderful place to be, great style to the apartment, with a very comfortable bed and fantastic views from all three balconies/out of the bedroom window. Having a washing machine was super-helpful too! Manuel was a very welcoming host, explaining the way things worked and gave plenty of local recommendations plus other local advice. The description is very accurate, including the 65 steps from the street to the apartment- unless this many steps will be an issue for you, I’d highly recommend booking this apartment. If I was ever to return to Siracusa I’d definitely want to stay here again.
