They are very special guests like Kings. Very precise, tidy and very respectful of the apartment. Communication was great. We were honored to have Mary Ellen and her guest family in the apartment.

Appartamento in posizione strategica all'interno della magica isola di Ortigia, a pochi passi a piedi da Piazza Duomo. La casa è grande, accogliente e tutte le stanze sono arredate con gusto. Le camere sono molto ampie, la cucina è spaziosa, la zona living (con i divani in pelle, lo stereo e la tv) è veramente bella e ti fa sentire il "calore" di una vera casa. Segnalo anche la presenza di un comodo e piacevole terrazzo. I proprietari sono persone veramente educate, gentili e disponibili. Esperienza da ripetere.

We loved the apartment and the location! Perfect for the six of us. We enjoyed being on a quiet street but so close to everything that makes Ortigia so enjoyable. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen adequately equipped - perfect for breakfast, and the living room was perfect for evening conversations with a glass of wine. Our host, Diana, was charming. In truth, I think the apartment exceeded our expectations. We hope to be back in two years.

This is a lovely, extremely comfortable apartment in the heart of beautiful Ortigia within easy walking distance to shops, restaurants and sightseeing. Even with its central location the apartment is still very quiet. The kindness and courtesy that Diana showed our family of 5 that includes two children is surpassed by none. While the apartment is located on the top floor, the climb is not difficult. We highly recommend this apartment and getting to know Diana.

Nice & Lobely apartament. Very bright and very quiet

We stayed for a week in this flat. The flat is lovely and in a great location. But what really wowed us was the friendly and incredibly helpful hosts. Fiorenzo was in touch from the moment of our booking and organised things for us to ensure we had what we needed given we were arriving late with a toddler. But he and Diana also looked after us through our stay including helping us get home when we were lost and couldn't find a taxi. Really fabulous place and lovely hosts. Thanks again Fiorenzo and Diana!

The apartment is centrally located on a quiet street in the historic Ortigia district and a short walk from all the sights, shops and restaurants. The apartment is nicely decorated with what we called "contemporary IKEA".. The rooms are nice and the beds comfortable. The bathrooms are small but adequate. Kitchen is well stocked. We had no problem cooking breakfasts every morning, and one group pasta dinner for the 5 of us. We had very good communication with the owner who seems to assign all the on-site tasks to his mother Diana. She is simply wonderful! She met us when we arrived and immediately got in our car to help guide us to find the best parking. Not easy to find free parking, but the 10 Euro a day lot is only a 4 min walk away. She also happily came by anytime we needed help - extra set of keys, WiFi, check-out, etc. I would absolutely recommend this apartment.

Nice e wonderful apartament. the best quality - price

This truly is one beautiful apartment. It is very nicely furnished and conveniently located and with a calm and sunny balcony. A grocery shop and many restaurants are just 2 min walk away and All of the sites are very easily accessible from the apartment (the Duomo is a very short stroll away). Diana made sure we were getting in and knew our way around. Recommended.

Nice apartment in the center of Syracuse, very close to a variety of restaurants and the main plaza.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Good experience overall, thanks Fiorenzo! 👍

Excellent location, very nice house, bright, clean, attention to detail, there is everything. Diana is an exceptional owner ready to give you tips on the island of Ortigia. Unforgettable aperitifs in the small terrace at sunset.

Our lovely stay in Ortigia was spoiled by the unfair behaviour of the owner. A 63 year old lady in our party was trapped in a small bathroom for 2 hours with no other means of escape when the door key broke in the lock after she had turned it in a normal fashion. Workmen had to be called and the door frame broken to get her out. The owner claims that she must have used unnecessary 'power' to break the key and would accept no responsibility for her distress and added insult to injury by refusing to return our deposit of 100 euros. We are astounded that the owner could blame us for the damage caused by a key and a lock that was his responsibility to maintain. We should also add that the apartment is at the top of three steep flights of stairs and has no wi fi as advertised.

The house is very comfortable for a family. The small bedroom downstairs was perfect for my 4 year old and what a blessing to have all the toys for the kids. Be prepared to climb almost 70 stairs with your luggage, but this is absolutely typical of any building in Ortigia. The house is perfect walking distance from everything. The location is stellar. Thank you!

Two couples enjoyed the comforts of home in this well-appointed apartment in the heart of Ortigia, Syracuse. Ortigia is so charming and ancient and this modern apartment, in an old, old building is a wonderful home base for enjoying the island, the city of Syracuse and the surrounding region. The apartment is just as described in the listing, the beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well equipped enough for us to make a few spectacular dinners at home with fixings from the daily market just down the street. It was great to have 2 bathrooms (for two couples) and all the amenities for a comfortable week long stay. Be sure to ask about the details of driving and parking in Ortigia before you arrive. There are strict rules about where you can and can't drive and the rules are not obvious unless you are informed in advance (we had a rental car, spoke no Italian and hadn't thought to research this ahead of time). There was an excellent parking spot for us, but the driving restriction is something you really need to be aware of for arrival and departure planning. The apartment is well taken care of and the owners are very attentive to the comfort of their guests. Travelers should be fit and prepared for three flights of stairs up to the apartment and another narrow flight up to the second floor bedrooms (there are 2 main floor sleeping rooms also). We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend this apartment. We'll go back and stay there again if we have the chance to return to Sicily!
