CASA FLORA Beautiful w/ Sea View Terrace
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.

The Dammuso Terrace
The pictures can’t do the huge, beautiful terrasse justice enough - it’s simply the most amazing view of Noto and Domenico was so kind and picked me up from the bus stop and drove me right to the apartment. Can’t recommend highly enough.

ORTIGIA FOR LOVERS - SEA VIEW TERRACE-Free WiFi
Comfortable apartment in a quiet street near the seaside in Ortigia. We loved the spacious terrace where we could enjoy breakfast or a glass of wine in the evening (when it was not raining). Kitchen and bathroom are well equipped. We slept very well in a comfortable bed in the sleeping room in the upper floor with the sound of the sea in the background. Whenever we had a question Emilia answered quickly, thanks also for good recommendations of restaurants etc. We really enjoyed our stay at Emilia's place.
Dimora de Aretusa
Salvatore is a reliable host. He was flexible when we needed an extra night due to changes in flight schedules and he offered us the possibility to store our baggage in the apartment for a few hours after check-out. We spent a lovely 10 days in Syracuse and enjoyed the views form the balcony.

Large apartment in the heart of Ortigia, Syracuse
Apartment located right in the center of Ortigia convenient to all amenities(supermarkets, shops, etc.) suitable for children looking for movement(Ortigia is full of locals) and for families to take even in the evening a nice walk in the center (which is worth it.) The apartment is spacious and we found it clean and well equipped in terms of towels,sheets, etc. Nothing is missing. I didn't get to meet Carmelo but you are greeted directly by the host where I found Lucia, they are two people available for any problem, friendly and always available to offer you the best service. And if you need tips on what to visit, where to go to the sea, or anything else, Lucia will know how to help you. That said, I don't extend much, but if I were to return to Sicily, I would choose them, so I recommend them 100%. I forgot. The apartment has a beautiful cool terrace where you can enjoy a beautiful view.

Avola - "A stone's throw from the sea" apartment
A great starting point for exploring the surrounding area and the entire southeastern area of Sicily. The owner's daughter (she teaches English) gave us advice on everything we needed and helped with the choice of a restaurant, or with other things if we needed. Parking was never an issue right in front of the house, but we were here in the off-season. We can recommend.

The Maison of Giudecca - Ortigia
Lovely apartment with everything you need and a fantastic roof terrace. Communication was great from the hosts and check in etc was perfect. Very good location and host gave us great recommendations for food.

Apartment Cala Rossa Ortigia
This apartment is incredibly well situated. It was perfect for swimming at the beach every day! We hope to stay again when we return to Ortigia.

The walnut's shadow by the sea ask for short stays
Walter was great! He was super communicative and helpful, getting me whatever I needed whenever I asked. He was also super welcoming, hosting me for dinner on my second night. I extended my stay by two nights because I enjoyed my stay so much. If I ever come back to Avola, I would stay here again.

HOUSE WITH SEA VIEW AND GARDEN
it was a beautiful stay. close to the sea and nicely located. Everything was perfect! Valentina was quick to respond to the questions we had, in short perfect. if we are in the area again we will definitely return.

A stone's throw from the sea... in a villa with swimming pool
Beautiful place and beautiful, Italian family that greeted us warmly. The place was a paradise for our 2 boys (4 and 2,5 years) with a pool, trampoline and private terrace. The house was sparkling clean and was very elegantly decorated. The kitchen was very well equipped, also with spices, pasta, water in the fridge etc. We really relaxed there and would love to come back.

Villa with stunning views of Vendicari and Noto
This place is really outstanding. We were a group of 10 (6 adults and 4 kids) and had plenty of space and bathrooms. The house is beautifully decorated, modern, and has a well-equipped kitchen. It is 15 min from Noto. We used it as a base to visit Noto, Siracusa, Ragusa/Modica, and the nearby town of Marzamemi. The house is in the country but we found it easy to travel to these nearby towns. The host was excellent and we followed several of the recommendations, which were all excellent. Overall we had an amazing time. We highly recommend this place!

P - House in a villa on the beach
Location is exceptional. We went with a baby and a toddler , this couldn’t have been a better spot for a hassle free beach vacation in Sicily . Excellent view . Plenty of kids for ours to play with, plenty of toys to use at the beach , a minute away to go grab a bite or a beer from the beach. There were a few minor issues but Irene (cohost) was able to help us immediately. Couldn’t recommend more

… The world around You
This is a really lovely ground floor apartment. It is ideally located in lovely Ortigia 2 minutes away from the beach and within walking distance of everything the area has to offer. What the apartment lacks in direct sunlight it makes up for in charm and elegance. We had a lovely time.

Theros Vacation Home, Lido di Noto
Laura was a very kind host. She was at the house following our call for arrival. The apartment is beautiful, new, very clean, comfortable, cool, tastefully furnished, with two bedrooms and private parking. The sea 700 meters away can be reached on foot and the most beautiful beaches (Riserva Vendicari loc. San Lorenzo best traversa III) 15 minutes away by car, great point to visit KNOWN, AVOLA, MODICA...Our Diesel(🐕) was welcomed with pleasure. It was a really positive experience, thank you Laura.

Sunrise over the sea, beach house in Lido di Noto
We had a fabulous week at Lucia’s apartment. It was great to be so close to the sea and within east reach of the beautiful towns of Noto and Syracuse. The apartment is spacious and great for a family with young children.

Casa dei Mergulensi, near the sea, WiFi - Ortigia
Spacious 2 floor apartment in a great location, everywhere is walkable and it is lovely to be on the balcony looking out across the square. The apartment was very well equipped and the bedroom is huge with a comfy bed. Bathroom is small but has everything you need. The people managing the apartment also helped me to book a fab boat trip and were very responsive and helpful. Thanks for a fab stay.

Cuore di Ognina Agave - Seafront
great stay at Robin's place. The accommodation is very beautiful, right in front of the sea. a great place to rest. Robin is a great host! Very friendly, it makes you feel at home.

Ortigia 10, Stylish Flat with Sea View
Giovanna and her colleague Nella were super responsive & helpful. Great directions & local recommendations. Elevator up to apartment, good lighting. Two nice bedrooms and two bathrooms plus clothes washing machine & drying rack. Lovely balconies looking over the harbor. Wine and bottled water waiting for us on arrival. Easy walk into Ortigia with lots of cafes and restaurants nearby. Caffe Apollo or Caffe Viola for breakfast close by. We also did a half day drive down to Noto on a rainy day - well worth the visit! Thank you Giovanna.

Vacation home with a sea view
Cosy apartment directly at the waterfront, with lots of bars and restaurants in the vicinity. Alberto is a very friendly and responsive host.

Entire apartment Ortigia
Miriam and her mom waited for us on the street as we arrived, then welcomed us into the apartment they called "home." And indeed, it felt like a true home—beautifully decorated, comfortable, and fully equipped for guests, down to a sewing kit with various threads. On the dining table, there was a bottle of wine, and a pack of handmade Italian cookies. The fridge was stocked with juice, beer, milk, and water, and they had provided a variety of teas, both regular and decaf espressos. The location was perfect, in an ancient building near attractions. The stunning blue sea was just steps away, where we could sit at a relaxed restaurant table and watch the mesmerizing sunset. Miriam took my husband to park our rental car and brought him back. When we checked out, her father did the same. She sent us plenty of information about everything, her meticulous care surprised us again and again. In fact, her entire family shares the same warmth and care—they are all incredibly kind and attentive.

Flying whales
Great location in Ortega. Patio is large with seats and table. Limited common space for hanging out inside. Host was very responsive and gave lots of recommendations for things to do and see. Would recommend.

Enchanting and serene seafront escape in Ortygia.
We loved our stay at Maria Theresa’s place! The apartment was lovely, and Maria Theresa was very kind and responsive throughout our stay. The only small drawback was the restaurant just below the apartment, which made it a bit noisy until around midnight. Otherwise, everything was great and we really enjoyed our time there!

Luxury seafront terrace in Ortigia
Enrico was waiting our arrival. He very helpful, was clear and patient with instructions and suggestions. The apartment is well located with wonderful view from terrace. AC was appreciated, even in late October. Kitchen was very well appointed, including a variety of seasonings, some foodstuffs and coffee. Living room very comfortable with good reading lights, for those relaxing times.
