The location of the apartment was perfect, in the centre of Ortigia but still very quiet, which we appreciated as we were travelling with our baby. There was a swimming spot not far from the building as well as a paid parking lot. The apartment was very well equipped, we particularly appreciated the washing machine, travel cot and kitchen appliances. We also loved staying in a historic building, with a balcony overlooking a beautiful, old street, that was nonetheless renovated to a modern, high standard.

The apartment was in a great location. I really felt that I was in the heart of Ortiga. The ocean was a block away and the wonderful street market was 10 minute walk away. The AC worked well.

I would have liked a more welcoming host. I was there for 11 days and was provided with one pod for the washer. I asked for one more and was told to go buy a carton. The shower backed up, the living room tv was broken. I asked for more than one roll of toilet paper and was told to go buy it. No consideration for my longer stay. These things soured my stay which was unfortunate.

Owner Marco is extremely friendly. The appartment is on perfect location, 5 min walk from open market (must try Borderi street food), 10 min walk from old castle, 200 m from payable beach and 400 m from free rock beach. Aretusa beach if further 200m. Around appartment there are numerous caffeterias, restaurants and local bars. However, appartment is in very quiet strret. Appartment is very spacy, nice furniture, full equipment (incl laundry machine). Strongly recommend for couples and families. If staying here, consider not to rent a car for whole week since everything is handy. Bus takes 1 hour from Catania to Siracusa (6 eur) and taxi to the appartment is 12-14 eur.

Apartment Pelagos is a wonderful place to stay in Siracusa. Large, clean, well-appointed apartment with high ceilings and nice balcony overlooking the street, two minutes walking to some great swimming/sunning spots, and situated on what's probably Siracusa's most beautiful residential street, in a quiet and "local" area far from the crowds (but still close to everything you need). Some excellent and well priced dining and drinking options nearby as well. The host Marco was friendly and helpful, even giving me a place to comfortably work on my laptop on the last day after checkout. Whenever I manage to return to Siracusa, I will definitely stay here again!

Big, spacious apartment, very comfortable. Great location and helpful host.

location

Location is great as it is only 5/10 minutes away from the main public car park Talete (it's not easy business to park your car in Ortigia). The flat is indeed very nice within a possibly 17th ish century, elegant building.

Ortigia can be pretty busy in July and as a non-resident person you will be fined if you drive through some areas during certain times of the day. Car parking is pretty expensive in the Talete car park i.e. EUR 15 per day or EUR 1.5 per hour up to 8 hours.
