It's like a home away from home.

For travellers who are looking to stay somewhere with character - not a generic polished hotel. It's like a home away from home.

Great property in the best part of Ortigia

This apartment is full of character and in a very attractive part of the old Jewish quarter, close to local shops and very handy for exploring Ortigia. Perhaps the best single thing about the property is the sun terrace - blissful! Highly recommended.

Perfection in Ortigia

We stayed in Ortigia for the month of April. The apartment on Via Della Giudecca is in an ideal location - on the most delightful block, close to everything but quiet and very much a family street. The apartment is absolutely charming, with a view over rooftops to the mediterranean, and a lovely terrace large enough for dining and sunning. The host made sure we were warmly greeted (even though we were 8 hours late) and provided all the information we needed to settle in. It is perfect for a couple, would be tight with more than two people. We would stay again in a heartbeat! Grazie to our host!

Our stay in Ortigia

The property is very central. The apartment is very quirky with lots of art. We ate out so didn’t use kitchen really but it looked well equipped. Although it didn’t bother us this apartment may not be very good for the elderly as a lot of stairs. Overall we really enjoyed this apartment and loved Ortigia.

Beautiful Ortigia

Wonderful location, lovely roof terrace. Comfy bed. Well equipped kitchen. However, the second bedroom does not have a door so limited privacy. The property is full of the owner's belongings and is very cluttered making it difficult to find storage space for our own things. The shower is not in a cubicle so the whole bathroom (and beyond) gets very wet and dangerously slippy.

Charming with wonderful terrace

Communications and checking were excellent! Location excellent on a charming street with everything you need a few steps away including the famous puppet theater! And everything you want to see in this tiny Island in easy walking distance. The apartment is homey and comfortable, fully equipped. The upstairs bedroom has a sloped ceiling and beams which make it difficult to stand in the low places—the occasional head bump. Water system and plumbing worked well. Bathroom is a wet room with integrated shower, no problems. Clean and comfortable! Thank you Melina and Viviana for a sweet stay in Ortigia.

Wonderful holiday, very generous accommodation but does need air conditioning!

The apartment is superbly located a short walk from Syracuse Cathedral, all the restaurants & shops on the island of Ortigia plus a good range of small supermarkets practically next door. The large, superbly equipped apartment is on the second floor with an internal glass staircase to the 2nd bedroom & sunny terrace -though the staircase has only one handrail so possible not for the nervous or suitable for children. The main drawback is the lack of air conditioning; we were there in September with temperatures in the mid to high 80s and we had to use the fan all night in the bedroom.

bel appartement mais....

Attention ! Nous avons tenté un séjour que nous savions sans climatisation avec seulement 2 ventilateurs nous avons pu prendre les températures dans les chambres ( respectivement 35 et 39 degrés dans la chambre sous les combles )les 10 premiers jours du mois d'août.. Impossible donc d'envisager un séjour reposant en Sicile en plein été dans un logement non climatisé L'appartement est beau et lumineux dans un trÚs bon quartier d'Ortigia ... Bémol également pour le périlleux escalier en verre aux bords contondants et au réfrigérateur de la taille d'un minibar la terrasse est également trÚs bien aménagée et trÚs agréable si vous acceptez la contrainte de devoir arroser les plantes tous les matins/ou soirs .car telles sont les conditions du propriétaire

Appartement tres bien situé.

Dans l'ensemble l'endroit est tout a fait convenable et fonctionnel mais aurait peut-etre avantage a etre un peu dĂ©personnalisĂ©. Ceci dans le but d'avoir un peu plus d,espace pour mettre nos effets personnels. La terrasse est belle mais un peu trop de fleurs en pots...ce qui minimise l'espace.Pour le reste tout est adĂ©quat. L'hotesse est accueillante et donne toutes les informations utiles pour un sĂ©jour dans ce lieu de rĂȘve.... Nous gardons de beaux souvenirs d'Ortigia

Stylish, uber cool, well located - terrace is fab

Perfect location just a short walk away from the main square. Small street that is lively during the day but quiet at night. Ideal for a couple but has two bedrooms so suit two couples as well. Slept in large bedroom on lower level right next to the bathroom which is at the back of the flat away from the street so very silent at night. Great kitchen with oven and everything you need to cook. The flat is much larger than photos suggest. Big comfy sitting room. Terrace is amazing - but you must be willing to water the plants! Melina was very helpful in answering our question prior to arriving and her friend Viviana met us and got us well settled in. Would want to come back to this super cool flat again. Ortigia is truly amazing. Thanks for allowing us to share your special home Melina - we had a really good holiday. Best Homeaway property we have ever stayed in!

Zum HeimischfĂŒhlen, aber nicht ganz ungefĂ€hrlich

Eine sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtete Wohung auf zwei Etagen. Leider ist wenig Platz fĂŒr den Gast zur Ablage seine mitgebrachten Kleidung und sonstigen Utensilien. Es ist eben eine meist wohl von der Besitzerin selbst bewohnte, sehr hĂŒsch trapierte, aber fĂŒr die Vermietung etwas zu volle Wohnung. Die Lage in einer wunderbar abwechslungsreichen Straße ist sehr gut, sehr nah zum Domplatz. Durchaus ein Ort zum Wiederkehren. Leider ist die Glastreppe in den ersten Stock nicht ganz ungefĂ€hrlich. Bei uns gab es einen Sturz.

Die Ferienwohnung ist sehr persönlich eingerichtet und es gab sogar im KĂŒhlschrank Schinken

Schöne Wohnung, aber nur fĂŒr Menschen, die keine Angst vor Glastreppen habebn. sprich kleine Kinder, dass geht nicht in dieser Wohnung. Die EingangstĂŒr mĂŒsste mit Gitter, was nicht funktionierte, gesichert werden können. Die nachbarn haben dies alle.Sehr ruhig dort und leider hat mann aber Nachts manchmal den Gerucch der Erdölraffinerie gerochen. Der Ort ist sehr nett und lebendig im FrĂŒhjahr ist es aber zu kalt zum baden.
