The view is stunning! Even in October, we were able to sit out a lot and even ate at night on the back veranda, looking at the moonlight on the sea. Inside the flat isn't fancy in any way and has a lived in feel (as does the area) but is clean and comfortable. No sofa, but we spent our time at the table or outside. Easy enough parking. 15 min walk to Otegia (fine at night, no worries at all) which is great for eating and exploring. Host was great. Would definitely return.

Beautiful views and great host.

Overall 10/10, If you want to be on the island where everything is, it is a little walk (20 minutes) If you have a car no issues. The terrace is stunning and the unit is extremely well equipped. The hosts were very nice and easy going. Cannot beat the view.

Magical Terrace

This is a charming apartment with the most phenomenal terrace. The property is steps from the Ionian Sea. After a swim, we relaxed on the private terrace - it was heaven. We sat and enjoyed the view, morning, noon and night. We were treated to a full moon on a clear night which was a very memorable experience. Our host, Francesco, was very responsive to any questions we had. Staying in this home is a personal experience as you are interacting with the family that owns the home, not a corporation. It was a lovely experience. If you looking for a property where you can be mesmerized by the sea each day and spend peaceful hours watching boats, ships, see and hear waves crashing over rocks, this is the property for you. There is no better view to be had. Thanks to Francesco and his father for making our stay so enjoyable.

Excellent

The apartment was as seen on line. Two beautiful big terraces, one over looking the sea and bearable when it was very hot with the sea breeze. We went in the sea most days. Very rocky, but lovely once over them. We didn’t hire a car and walked everywhere. Tried the Syraka Sicilian Restaurant recommended on the board in kitchen. Excellent and returned again. Francesco and Laura were lovely and helpful. Wish we had stayed longer than a week.

Short Stay Option

The apartment is as it shows on the website - no frills but functional. The terrace would have been fabulous if the weather had been better, and this is a real 'selling point' of the apartment. The walk into Siracusa is 25 mins so very achievable. Taxis cost E20 each way. Parking is free and just outside the apartment. The owners were lovely and allowed an early check in. We had an issue which we told them about, which I am sure will have been resolved.

Shabby apartment with great terrace and view

We had a great stay but must say that the apartment would benefit from a systematic maintenance and a thorough clean - particularly of the kitchen and its utensils. It would for example be great with more than two mugs - just to give an example! Basic maintenance would do a lot to the standard of the apartment - the bed side tables were loose (we tightened them with a screwdriver!), the toilet seat was not fixed properly (we fixed with tape!) and the shower drain was clogged! With a little effort the standard could be substantially increased.

Fabulous terrace

This apartment is on the second floor - the advantage being that you step directly onto 2 terraces - one of which faces directly across the ocean. The view is absolutely fabulous and more than enough reason to stay here. There is a rocky beach here where it is possible to swim but you really need some sort of footwear to protect your feet. The apartment was well equipped however there was no oven or microwave in the kitchen and the bathroom had no hooks for towels or bathrobes while we were there. We also had trouble with the shower water not draining away - when we mentioned it to Francesco, he explained that you need to pour cleaning agent down the drain regularly. The bed was very comfy and the air conditioning worked very well. It is only 15 mins walk (level) to Ortigia however the neighbourhood has a disappointingly dirty and neglected air about it. Strange when you see how clean and well kept Ortigia is. Ortigia itself is wonderful - great architecture, views and restaurants/bars. The nearby Greek and Roman amphitheatres were within walking distance and definitely worth visiting. There were local buses and we did use them but you don’t really need them. Be warned, the trains have a capacity limit - we couldn’t buy tickets for a morning train to Noto because it was full so best to buy in advance. And the bus timetable we got from the Tourist centre was out of date. Our host was very friendly and helpful and we would stay here again.

Emplacement parfait pour être au calme et garer la voiture gratuitement dans la rue mais tout de même proche du centre (15min à pieds et des bus toutes les 20min). Une vue à couper le souffle depuis les grandes terrasses (côté mer ou côté ville). Accès à la plage très appréciable car vraiment à 30sec à pieds. Attention plage rocheuse, prévoir les chaussures d’eau.En ce qui concerne l’intérieur du logement, il est plus ou moins fidèle aux photos. L’appartement est au 2ème et dernier étage, il fait chaud et la clim ne peut tourner que lorsque nous sommes sur place (à cause d’un système de clés) et est suffisante pour refroidir la chambre mais pas toutes les pièces. L’appartement, très bien équipé (vaisselle, rangement, produit d’hygiène) n’est plus de première jeunesse comme sur les photos (frigo qui se ferme avec un loquet, porte-fenêtre dont on voit le jour à travers, le robinet rempli de calcaire, une douche qui ne s’écoule pas, les parois sont 4 plastiques assemblés branlants).La literie et le linge étaient très propres, en revanche la vaisselle méritait un coup de nettoyage avant. Francesco a été très réactif, très aimable et nous a donné nombreux conseils, merci !

The main attraction is the incredible view. Loved sitting on the terrace in the evenings. There’s is also a swimming area right downstairs - which is great for sunrise swims. The area is lovely and quiet & building safe. The owner is very helpful, great with communication & very accommodating. While there are no shops on the door step - they are about a km walk away. Two lovely beaches with sunbeds only 400m in either direction from apartment, and lovely restaurants 400m away too. The apartment could do with a little maintenance… but I really loved my stay here. Thank you
