Great location in Ortigia
Very nice apartment. A perfect location, to explore Ortigia and south eastern Sicily. Just remember that parking a vehicle is basically impossible on Ortigia - Absolutely nothing to do with this excellent apartment, but an important note for those who are not familiar with Sicilan traffic!

At home in Ortegia
We enjoyed a beautiful, typical Sicilian apartment with all the conveniences and a magnificent view. There is easy access to the market, transportation, shops and historical sites. This was the first time in 35 years of traveling that we rented an apartment and stayed in one place. It was a perfect way to fully appreciate the culture while still taking in the sites and we will travel this way from now on. It was very easy to communicate with the owner and, Lynette, the on-site representative, was a helpful and engaging host and we now consider her a friend.

Splendid
Great location. The apartment was equipped with everything one would need. Checking into these places is often the weak link in the chain but this went off without a hitch. Great view over the ocean.

A LOVELY SOJOURN
Jan was a pleasure to work which made the rental of this property a positive experience. She was happy to answer all my questions and I had many. Lynette, the onsite contact, was also helpful. We'd just gotten off a trans-Atlantic flight and arrangements were made to pick us up at Catania's airport which helped tremendously with the time adjustment. A car isn't needed in Ortigia unless you plan day trips. We stayed at Jan's apartment for 8 nights and picked up our rental car at the end of our stay to drive further into Sicily. Avis car rental is within walking distance of the apartment. The location of the apartment is central to everything in Ortigia and it's just a short walk across the bridge into the main part of Siracusa. The apartment is two bedrooms with the master being a nice size with a comfortable bed. Both the master bedroom and the main living area have stunning views of the sea. The kitchen is nicely equipped although we ate most of our meals out. We also didn't have a need to use the washing machine. We loved having our morning cappuccino at both Cafe' Apollo and Cafe' Archimede. We enjoyed the market and the wonderful sandwich shop in the market called Caseificio Borderi--it's a mandatory stop unless you're impatient and don't want to stand in line to see the show. We enjoyed our stay and recommend this apartment

Amazing location in a gorgeous town!
We spent 5 nights at this perfectly located apartment in July 2018. We are a family of two adults and 3 teenagers and the apartment had plenty of space for our family. It was well equipped and has an amazing location. Communication with the owner and manager was without any issues. They responded immediately every time we contacted them. Such a pleasant stay in such a beautiful town! I would definitely recommend and stay there again. Ortigia is such an amazing place.

About the host

Hosted by Janice Sheehy

Host profile image
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.
