Beach house holiday rentals in Island of Ortigia

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.

Francesca était très sympathique. La communication a été impeccable avant et pendant tout le séjour ! L'accueil en personne a été très agréable et elle nous a donné de très bons conseils (plages, restaurants) pour profiter de notre séjour. La propreté était irréprochable. Les rues gratuites autour du logement pour garer la voiture étaient vraiment un plus, et le logement reste bien situé à une dizaine de minutes d'Ortigia. Nous avons passé un court mais excellent séjour !

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!

Me and my Wife had a wonderful experience with Elena as our host. The location of the Airbnb was local enough and touristy enough to enjoy both vibes. Would highly recommend this location to anyone wanting to enjoy great restaurants, and still find local shops to enjoy. 10/10

Really enjoyable stay. Excellent communication on check-in. The only thing I would say is that the bedroom which looked onto the road was quite noisy until 1am on Saturday night. Friday and Saturday were fine. Other than that the apartment was beautifully renovated, had everything we needed and was well located for exploring Ortigia.

Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit in der Unterkunft von Antonio und seiner Familie! Leider hatte unser Hinflug über 3 Std Verspätung und Antonio hat mit uns noch um 2 Uhr nachts den Check-in gemacht und war mehr als freundlich. Die Unterkunft ist sehr gepflegt, es wurde sogar Wasser, alles für ein italienisches Frühstück sowie Pasta zum kochen bereitgestellt. Der Gartenbereich ist gepflegt und der Pool sehr angenehm. Es ist definitiv empfehlenswert ein Auto zu haben, dann ist die wunderschöne Altstadt von Syrakus in ca. 15 min zu erreichen und man ist in unter 5 min am sehr schönen Strand. Wir würden die Unterkunft in Arenella definitiv weiterempfehlen!

Alice, Santi und ihre Tochter sind wunderbare Gastgeber. Sehr freundlich, aufmerksam und mit hilfreichen Tipps für Ausflüge und Restaurants, aber trotzdem unaufdringlich und respektvoll, was deine Privatsphäre angeht. Die Verständigung auf Englisch war problemlos möglich. Die Unterkunft ist wunderschön und sehr sauber. Sie ist ausgestattet mit allem was man braucht. Dazu viele Extras , wie Getränke zur Begrüßung, Gewürze, Öl und auch Kleinigkeiten zum Essen. Das Auto steht sicher auf dem abgesperrten Grundstück, und die Terrasse zum draußen Sitzen haben wir zum Frühstück und Abendessen sehr genossen. Außerdem hat sie eine perfekte Lage. In Laufentfernung ist der wunderschöne Arenella Beach, und mit dem Auto ist es nicht weit zu den Sehenswürdigkeiten wie Syracuse, Noto, Marzamemi, Catania etc. Wir haben uns selten so wohl gefühlt wie hier. Abgerundet wurde das ganze durch den absolut lieben und ruhigen Hund Pit und ein paar süße, aber scheue Katzen.

Wunderschönes Ambiente, alles sehr sauber und perfekt eingerichtet. Detail geschmackvoll niveauvoll ist diese Unterkunft, ein wahres Kleinod direkt am Meer

Siamo stati accolti al nostro arrivo personalmente da Valeria e Giorgio con un caloroso benvenuto. I proprietari sono molto gentili, disponibili e discreti. La casa e la piscina sono come descritti nelle foto e la posizione è molto bella e tranquilla. La casa è molto funzionale, attrezzata di tutti i confort ed arredata con buon gusto. L’ideale per una vacanza in pieno relax in mezzo agli splendidi ulivi della tenuta. Non manca veramente nulla. Abbiamo trascorso una splendida settimana. Da qui si possono raggiungere facilmente in auto varie spiagge, la splendida Ortigia ed altre località famose. Consigliamo vivamente questa struttura, dove speriamo in futuro di ritornare. Grazie ancora a Valeria e Giorgio

Wir hatten eine schöne Zeit bei Alessandro. Gerade mit kleinem Kind gibt es tolle Möglichkeiten wie einen Pool, eine große Wiese zum Spielen und besonders das Baumhaus! Die Nähe zum Meer zu Fuß ist schön (wenige Minuten bis zu einem kleinen Einstieg an einem Steinstrand, ein Sandstrand zum Liegen ist besser mit dem Auto erreichbar). Alessandro hat uns bei Fragen geholfen und war gut erreichbar!

We loved staying with Giovanni and family whom were really friendly and helpful . The house is beautifully set above a beach with its own access . Our room was lovely with good facilities. We have spent hours over the last few days relaxing swimming and snorkelling in amazing waters . The house is in good proximity to surrounding areas of interest with a car .

Our stay at Respiro Greco with Ramona and Salvo was simply wonderful. From the first moment, we felt warmly welcomed and very well taken care of. The location is ideal – supermarkets, cafés, and small shops are nearby, and beautiful beaches like San Lorenzo, Noto Marina, and Fontane Bianche are only a short drive away. The historic center of Syracuse with its sights and excellent restaurants is also quickly reached. Ramona and Salvo were always available, very kind, and helpful. Their recommendations for restaurants, beaches, and places to visit were perfect. The homemade cake for Easter was a lovely surprise. The apartment was extremely clean, comfortable, and tastefully furnished. The pool was well maintained, Wi-Fi was strong, and the Smart TV offered Netflix and Amazon Prime for cozy evenings. Syracuse’s culinary offerings were a true highlight. If you want to fully enjoy Syracuse and its surroundings, staying longer is highly recommended. We will definitely return!

The villa was absolutely beautiful and very well equipped. We particularly enjoyed the choice of outdoor areas and the pool. Sabrina was an extremely lovely and responsive host who made sure our stay was smooth. Arriving in Catania at 8am, we were able to do an early check-in which was much appreciated. Our children also appreciated the cats who came to say hi, it reminded us of ours :) We would definitely recommend Sabrina’s place.

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.

Roberto och hans son Erik var helt fantastiska. Vi bodde i Villa Bismarkia som var rent och prydligt. Allt man kan tänkas behöva finns och de gemensamma ytorna var så välskötta och fina. Rekommenderar start detta boende!

A beautiful spacious property, well equipped and with a marvellous swimming pool in which we swam every day. Alberto and also Nisha were very responsive and helpful. The villa is an easy 15 -20 minute drive to Siracusa.

Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit in Syrakus - und das unter anderem Dank dieser schönen, super zentralen Wohnung! Die Gastgeber waren sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend, immer gut erreichbar und flexibel, was Check-in und -Out anging. Die Wohnung war geräumiger als ursprünglich gedacht und bot vielerlei Möglichkeit für gemeinsame Zeit aber auch Rückzugsmöglichkeiten. Wir können die Wohnung wärmstens weiterempfehlen!

I would recommend everyone to stay at Giuseppina's wonderful apartment. She and her husband welcomed us warmly when we arrived and explained everything to us in detail and with care. Everything we needed was there. All the main attractions are in walking distance. We liked the calm, more local atmosphere of this neighborhood (different from the very touristy Ortigia). I would 200% recommend, I hope I can visit again one day and be able to read Giuseppina's poems in Italian. Wonderful experience.

Beautifully decorated and neat little place within easy walking distance of Ortigia and surrounding attractions. Simone was a fabulous and helpful host.

We had an awesome time at Maita’s place. Can’t beat the location! In the heart of Ortigia. Beautiful spacious air b&b.

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.

Very kind and helpful host, the apartment is stunning and well-located.

This will be the FIRST place I look to stay at whenever I stay in Syracuse. We booked this stay for my dads birthday and thouroughly enjoyed it. The place honestly looks even better in person than the pictures. I loved the way it was decorated, how clean and updated the appliances and decor was. My only regret is that I only stayed 1 night LOL. It was right in the heart of the city and walkable to everything but also still a quiet neighborhood. Federica greeted us and was responsive throughout the whole stay even giving us great restaurant recommendations. Definitely would recommend staying here.

We had a wonderful 5 night stay in Ginevra's house in Ortigia in June 2025. The house was a great base to explore the local area and was also very comfortable and the AC was much appreciated! We loved chilling out on the balcony and being in the heart of such a historic town...and swimming off the rocks! bravo!
