About this house rental

Casa Vicolo is set in a former palazzo (independent building) on 3 floors. It is located on a quiet car-free street in the heart of the historic centre of Siracusa, the former Jewish quarter 'Giudecca', only 2 minutes walk from the sea. It is composed of 2 large bedrooms, 2 modern bathrooms, a very spacious modern kitchen, indoor and outdoor living areas including a large terrace for alfresco dining overlooking the rooftops of Ortigia.

Casa Vicolo is light and airy, with contrasting textures and textiles and natural elements against a white backdrop. On the terrace is a dining table made of volcanic lava from nearby Mount Etna.

Upon entry there is a hallway that leads to an indoor patio as well as a living area with an overhead fan and original cement tile floors. A quiet and cool retreat, this space is ideal for reading, doing yoga or taking an afternoon nap.

On the first floor are 2 bedrooms, each with a queen size bed, air conditioning and heating, and French doors overlooking either the street or the patio. There are 2 bathrooms and between the bedrooms there is a living area with an overhead fan and a smart TV.

Stairs up to the second floor lead to the kitchen and a dining and living area with French doors overlooking the patio with air conditioning and heating, a study desk and a selection of local travel guides. The fully equipped modern kitchen – complete with dishwasher and kitchen appliances – opens onto the terrace.

Within walking distance are 3 different swimming accesses of Ortigia (rocky swimming point next to Forte Vigliena; the pebble beach Cala Rossa; small sandy beach near the Giardino Aretusa); the Duomo and Archimede squares, the Aretusa fountain and the Apollo temple; historic Jewish baths and puppet theatre; the lovely daily food market; and some of the best granita and gelato in the world!

A limited number of private car parking spaces may be booked on request, providing car access to the island at all times including during ZTL periods ('zona a traffico limitato' i.e. limited traffic zone). Private car parking located 300m from the house at €20/day, with opening hours: Monday-Saturday 7:00am - midnight; Sundays 8:00 - 11:00am and 6:00pm - midnight.

Please note: Our house is currently undergoing significant renovations, with new bathrooms, a radiator heating system and various other improvements to come in 2025 (updated photos forthcoming).

This is a very good property. Lots of room, great location, had everything we needed, and air conditioning worked well. The furniture isn't very comfortable and a few things could use an update, but that's not a major problem for us. Overall, it was a good choice for us.

Lovely apartment in a great location. Walking distance of everything Ortigia has to offer, restaurants, shops, sights. Comfortable and well air conditioned, Nice roof terrace but too hot to use when we were there despite awning. We had a couple of issues at the apartment one identified before we arrived and corrected after the weekend. Communication with agent over second issue was less than ideal, resulting in a very frosty check out.

Large house in a quiet residential area. Ortigia is small so you are only a few minutes away from lots of cafes and restaurants. Efficient aircon and well equipped kitchen. Sadly we could hardly use the beautiful terrace during the day as there were building renovations next door, but it was lovely in the evening. Great to have the whole house to ourselves.

We had three glorious weeks in Ortigia which makes this review different than a 4 or 5 day visit as we were settled into the house and all its nuances. Property manager Stephanie did an excellent job with recommendations, problem solving and transportation services. The sunny patio was a delight and the well equipped kitchen was highly used. We had plumbing issues which were addressed immediately but not always successfully. The bathrooms in general need an update. The couches are not very comfortable. They are chaise lounges which is great for reclining but if you want to sit up the depth is too deep and there isn't a back - just cushions. Our biggest qualm with this property was the alleyway; animal waste and trash. We loved Ortigia! We loved the neighborhood, the food, the wine! Just not this house.

The hostess was easy to work with. The location of the apartment is the best. Restaurants, shopping and the sea close by. Ortegia is a must see for travelers.
