About this property

Elegant apartment in the historic center, in the heart of the island of Ortigia

Elegant apartment in the historic center, in the heart of the island of Ortigia, consisting of three double bedrooms for a total of six beds, a large living room with kitchen, two bathrooms, a closet and a small terrace.
The structure is equipped with TV, Wi-Fi, refrigerator, oven, air conditioners, sheets, pillows, towels and washing machine.
The sea is a five minute walk away, as are the Marina di Ortigia, Piazza Duomo, Piazza Archimede, Fontana Arethusa.

The famous and picturesque Ortigia market, supermarkets, tobacconists, bars, pizzerias, restaurants, pubs, banks and post offices are also very close.
Even if it is a completely renovated apartment, inside it you can still appreciate corners of stone walls and ancient arches that still make the atmosphere and taste of the classic perfectly breathable.
Its position in the heart of Ortigia is ideal for reaching all points of historical and cultural interest during the day and the most beautiful places at night.

Guests will be able to access the entire apartment and both me and any other staff member will be available to guests for any problems or information.

The island of Ortigia constitutes the oldest part of the city of Syracuse. Its name derives from the ancient Greek "ortyx" which means quail. It is the heart of the city, the first to be inhabited in antiquity, thanks to its geographical position and the presence of waters and springs.
Like the whole of Sicily, Ortigia is also a testimony of past centuries and of the populations that have followed one another. Its territory tells of an ancient history that saw the arrival of the Greeks succeeded by the Romans, the Swabians, the Aragonese and the Arabs.
Today visiting Ortigia is like walking through history and admiring its splendor, getting lost in its small neighborhoods, which reveal wonders.
The most famous districts of the island are: Bottari, Cannamela, Castello, Duomo, Gancia, Giudecca, Graziella, Maestranza and Marina.

Among the most interesting things to see in Ortigia are the Maniace Castle, the Temple of Apollo (6th century BC), the Duomo (Ionic temple 8th century BC), the Fountain of Artemis (1906), the Fonte Aretusa, Porta Urbica (VI-V century BC), the Archbishop's Palace, the Church of San Martino, the Church of Santa Lucia alla Badia, the Church of the Holy Spirit, the Palazzo Beneventano-Del Bosco, the Palazzo dei Mergulensi-Montalto, 16th century Porta Marina, the Church of S. Pietro Intra Moenia and the Church of S. Giovanni Battista.
The island has followed the times and has also been filled with restaurants, pizzerias and various places where you can spend some time in the company to enjoy the excellent Sicilian cuisine. Even a walk on the waterfront is an experience not to be missed.

Lorna B., Oxford

Spacious apartment in heart of Ortigia
Roomy apartment still with some old features but equipped with modern appliances (kitchen and washing machine). It has 3 small balconies onto the alley and it felt like being a local to look down on the tourists below! It felt very typical of the area. Parking is available a few minutes walk away at 10 EUR per day. Stefano was very welcoming. We loved this apartment and Syracuse - would recommend

8/10 Good

Fantastic property in brilliant location!
We had a wonderful holiday in Ortigia in Stefano’s apartment. The flat was spacious and the location was amazing – right in the centre! Stefano was a brilliant communicator – replying to our queries immediately – and also very helpful in picking us up from the bus stop and taking us to the flat. A very nice man! The reason we’re not giving 5 stars is that the kitchen was a bit lacking in equipment…e.g. kitchen knives and oven-proof dishes would have been helpful. Apart from that – fabulous!

Ortigia nel cuore
Stata dura lasciare una casa dove dopo appena 5 giorni la sentivi già tua. Pulitissima, in pieno centro ma silenziosa. Spaziosa per due adulti ed un bimbo come noi, i doppi servizi grandi e comodi. Il mercato del pesce vicino, ristoranti, supermarket, nulla ci è mancato, Ortigia è meravigliosa. Il mare poi….da raggiungere a piedi e mezz'ora d'auto per le spiagge più belle. Per chi ha un'auto ibrida come la nostra, ci hanno rilasciato un permesso per le strisce blu valido sino a fine anno. La ZTL è attiva poche ore al giorno quindi possibilità di carico e scarico bagagli nella piazzetta vicinissima all'appartamento. Grazie Stefano, di sicuro torneremo presto ospiti tuoi.
