Lovely apartment

We loved our stay in Ortigia. The apartment was clean and well appointed. The kitchen was well supplied. Cooking was easy. The bedroom was in the back of the apartment so it was quiet and the bed was comfortable. The location was perfect, with a view out onto the piazza. We would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful apartment in the heart of Ortigia!

We loved this apartment so much. The location of the apartment is perfect and if was so easy to walk everywhere. The place is beautifully decorated and was spotlessly clean. There is a beautiful balcony looking out over the cathedral. Mario was so helpful and was able to reserve us a garage spot nearby and even sent a list of recommended restaurants. Five stars all around! We will definitely stay here again if we come back to Ortigia.

I recently had the pleasure of staying in a wonderful apartment Casa Dei Leoni in Ortigia, Sicily, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. The apartment was exceptionally clean and thoughtfully equipped with all the appliances needed for a comfortable vacation. Its central location was a major highlight, allowing us to explore the vibrant area with ease—all major attractions were within walking distance. (We did had a car so I could not comments on the parking situation.) The decor of the apartment was charming and created a very inviting atmosphere. It comfortably accommodated our group of four adults, making it a perfect choice for our stay. The attention to detail in the decor and the overall comfort of the space added to our enjoyment. The only minor drawback was that the bathroom was a bit small for someone of my size, but it was manageable and didn’t detract significantly from the overall positive experience. I highly recommend this apartment for anyone visiting Ortigia. It offers a great blend of comfort, convenience, and style.

Wonderful Casa

Our stay in Ortigia and at the Casa dei Leoni were the highlight of our trip to Sicily. All the details about the property are accurate and as described. The comfortable, spacious and light-filled apartment is situated at the very heart of the island and is only a two-minute walk to the central Piazza Duomo. It overlooks a major pedestrian thoroughfare lined with shops, cafes, restaurants, etc., yet the street life is never intrusive, and the bedroom is recessed at the far end of the apartment. Our gracious host, Mario, could not have been more diligent in his communications with us, guiding us through every step of check-in/check-out (he even went out of his way to secure parking space--essential!--for us after some initial confusion). The House of the Lions receives our most enthusiastic recommendation!

Romantic getaway in the heart of Ortigia

My partner and I loved our stay at Casa de Leoni (June 2024). The photos undersell how pretty the apartment is, and what an awesome location. This is on via Roma, one of the original arterial streets in Ortigia, at the intersection with a broad street to the Piazza Duomo. We could pop outside in the mornings for takeout cappuccino and granita and brioche, 5 minutes stroll to the local beach, and 5-15 minutes walk to dozens of excellent restaurants. The front of the apartment offers a tiny balcony (bistro table and chairs) where we could hear the church bells, local opera singer practicing on the plaza, and kids playing; the apartment also sports a fully-functional kitchen, washing machine, and quiet and cool bedroom. Our local guide pronounced this site as “the perfect location in all of Ortigia”. Our host was extremely responsive and checked in on us and answered questions about our visit. Highly recommend this site and wish we could have stayed longer!
