Apartment holiday rentals in Island of Ortigia

My wife and I traveled to Ortigia with our daughter for her 25th birthday. This home checked all the boxes when we booked it. Location on the water, nice modern home, walking distance to everything we wanted to see. But, when we got there, it was so much more amazing than we could have imagined. The home is beautiful - on the water with a stunning rooftop deck and amazing sunsets. Its situated right in the heart of Ortigia next to Fountain Arethusa. Walk out the front door onto the cobble streets to restaurants, coffee bars, shops. Turn right and walk a few minutes to Castello Maniace. Turn left and walk a few minutes to the Piazza Duomo. Yolande was an amazing host. Communication was great. Answered all my questions and helped find us a driver for the week which turned out to be one of the best decisions we made. Our driver, Beppe, was born in Ortigia and taught us more about Sicily during our car rides than any guide we could have round. Grazie Yolande!

Andrea made us feel so at home. Not only did he greet us upon arrival, but he also had stocked the kitchen with some speciality food items and wine. He was incredibly responsive and provided us many wonderful local recommendations. We wish we could have stayed longer!

We loved our stay in Ortigia. The apartment was spacious and comfortable and in a great location. We found it difficult to find the apartment when we arrived though as the door was obscured by the market tables and tents and the lockbox didn’t work. Fortunately we were able to contact Aurore who assisted. Otherwise a great stay. Recommended.

We had some very lovely days at Maria's place. The location of the home is central and especially the two balconies are a big plus. There is a lot of noise and smells of barbecue, fish, etc. from the market just below the apartment, but it's part of the charm. Maria is a very attentive and welcoming host. We'd love to come back.

We loved our stay in Ortigia. This apartment is close to the swimming beach, great eating spots and had all the features as promised on this site. It was great fun to have such easy access to walk around town and we even got used to the stairs! Communication was always helpful and available. We will be back soon hopefully!

We loved this apartment in Ortigia! Perfect location right by a cute square with lots of restaurants/shopping and the whole island is walkable. The apartment is very modern, spacious, clean and looked just like the pictures. Would definitely recommend!

Great location! Close to everything. Pierluigi was great too. It was nice to be near everything in Ortigia. Great town!

What a beautiful apartment located in a very charming building ! It’s fully renovated, spacious, very clean and very well equipped. Manuela was very reactive, helpful and so arranging whenever we request something. The apartment is so well located near to all main shops and restaurants with access by walking. There is a surveilled and secure parking 3 mins from the apartment. I definitely recommend staying at Manuela’s apartment.

Emilia was very kind and easy to communicate with. She was on top of all necessary information and offered a spacious and clean apartment for us to enjoy Ortigia. It is on a main street that is very loud for most of the night, which I wish I knew, as it made it hard to sleep.

Beautiful apartment. Perfectly located and appointed. Would stay here again.

We spent ten days at La Casa del Fotografo and loved it. The apartment was comfortable and had all the amenities we needed. We liked staying in Borgata Santa Lucia – it’s a short walk from Ortigia and all the sights of Siracusa. We immediately felt at home there, and Marco and his team made sure we had plenty of recommendations of places to see, things to do and restaurants to try. They were always available to answer our questions. We really loved the rooftop terrace – we ate breakfast and dinner there often. The apartment is spacious, spotless and very comfortable. It was a great place to have an stress-free vacation.

We had a great time staying at Paola's place. Ale was always quick to respond to questions we had or address any small issues. The apartment is as described - spacious and light filled. Very comfortable and such a great location close to the water. Very quiet apartment at night yet you're so close to all amenities and many restaurants. We had a great time.

We had a wonderful stay in this lovely apartment in a quiet part of Ortigia. It was just a short walk from everything, making it easy to explore and pop back when needed. The terrace was perfect for enjoying the afternoon sun. The apartment itself was clean, stylish, and very comfortable. Lino was an exceptional host—he went above and beyond helping with transportation from Catania and offering great restaurant recommendations. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again!

Simonetta delivered everything she promised and more. The apartment was extremely comfortable, clean quiet and spacious. We like to cook as well as trying restaurants. Everything we needed was there. On arrival we immediately knew we’d made a great choice. A nice touch were “disposable “ slippers and quality towelling robes. Going out was a great experience, the market was practically next door selling fresh fish, meat, fruit, herbs etc. We will come again!

Very centrally located in a pictureque street. Spacious, cool and perfect for a stay in Ortigia. Fabio was very accessible, helpful and friendly.

Wonderful apartment in an excellent location provided a perfect base from which to explore Ortigia.

Excellent location, tucked in a quiet street and close to shops, restaurants and parking. The apartment has a lot of character and natural light. My family of five loved the place. Good sleeping arrangement. Spotless and excellent bathrooms, good water flow, one bathroom has a clean jacuzzi tub. Kitchen is clean and well organised, there's no dishwasher but the drying rack is large and efficient. I will definitely stay here again.

A lovely apartment with good facilities and furnishings, wonderfully easy use of a private beach and not too far away to drive to the restaurants and sights of Syracuse.

A very pretty house right in front of the beautiful beach. Very comfortable and friendly host If I go to Syracuse again, I definitely want to stop by again!

Very nice setting, quiet, Roberto and Erik his son are very responsive and very kind. I would recommend this place for discovering Syracuse and its surroundings.

Mariella's place was not only spotless and beautifully furnished, but it was located in an ideal location to fully enjoy and explore Ortigia! The apartment was close to the water and only five minutes' walk from the square. We loved staying there and already plan to return the next time we vacation in Sicily!

Marta was a wonderful host - extremely responsive and helpful when we had questions. We thoroughly enjoyed this spacious, clean aapartment. Beautiful views of the sea and we loved the balcony. It was situated right next to the lively and fun market with lots of good restaurant choices. Everything was walkable on this gorgeous island of Ortygia. We would stay here again!

Great location Comfortable space

The apartment is bright, modern and very well furnished. The landlord was super nice and helpful. The center is within walking distance. Perfect starting point in all directions. The bus stop/bus station is right at the house and can be heard from the terrace. Basically, Sicily has a massive problem with garbage disposal, which is unfortunately clearly visible in some neighborhoods.
