Beach house holiday rentals in Island of Ortigia

We felt at home the minute the door opened, this home worked extremely well for our family of 5 (2 parents and 3 college aged kids) with comfortable furnishings and excellent location. Perfect!

This is a very beautiful and wellthought loft apartment, it has everything you would need, including some refreshments and breakfast options. Its about 15 mins by foot to Ortigia, where we spent all of our time walking around. We were able to park in front on the street with all the other cars and it was not damaged, so we walked everywhere. The only two downsides for us were the too early checkout, which turned out more inconvenient than expected; and the additional 16 euro cash, which we were asked to pay on the spot, which might not be quite as per Airbnb's policy.

Even nicer than we imagined- the patio is right off the bedroom making it super easy to use for breakfast and afternoon drinks. It has the best view in the city!

Me and my Wife had a wonderful experience with Elena as our host. The location of the Airbnb was local enough and touristy enough to enjoy both vibes. Would highly recommend this location to anyone wanting to enjoy great restaurants, and still find local shops to enjoy. 10/10

Really enjoyable stay. Excellent communication on check-in. The only thing I would say is that the bedroom which looked onto the road was quite noisy until 1am on Saturday night. Friday and Saturday were fine. Other than that the apartment was beautifully renovated, had everything we needed and was well located for exploring Ortigia.

Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit in der Unterkunft von Antonio und seiner Familie! Leider hatte unser Hinflug über 3 Std Verspätung und Antonio hat mit uns noch um 2 Uhr nachts den Check-in gemacht und war mehr als freundlich. Die Unterkunft ist sehr gepflegt, es wurde sogar Wasser, alles für ein italienisches Frühstück sowie Pasta zum kochen bereitgestellt. Der Gartenbereich ist gepflegt und der Pool sehr angenehm. Es ist definitiv empfehlenswert ein Auto zu haben, dann ist die wunderschöne Altstadt von Syrakus in ca. 15 min zu erreichen und man ist in unter 5 min am sehr schönen Strand. Wir würden die Unterkunft in Arenella definitiv weiterempfehlen!

merveilleux séjour. Alice et Santi sont des amours. Leur unique but est de satisfaire et faire plaisir à leurs hôtes avec de petites attentions telles qu'offrir des tomates du jardin, des œufs de leurs poules et une bonne bouteille de vin. Ils sont aussi d'excellent conseil pour les visites, ils aiment communiquer avec les hôtes tout en sachant rester discrets. Le logement et la terrasse sont très mignons, confortables et bien aménagés. Tous les produits de première nécessité étaient prévus. Nous avons adoré notre séjour chez eux et étions tristes d'en partir. Posez vos valises sans hésiter chez Alice et Santi, vous ne serez pas déçus.

Wunderschönes Ambiente, alles sehr sauber und perfekt eingerichtet. Detail geschmackvoll niveauvoll ist diese Unterkunft, ein wahres Kleinod direkt am Meer

Siamo stati accolti al nostro arrivo personalmente da Valeria e Giorgio con un caloroso benvenuto. I proprietari sono molto gentili, disponibili e discreti. La casa e la piscina sono come descritti nelle foto e la posizione è molto bella e tranquilla. La casa è molto funzionale, attrezzata di tutti i confort ed arredata con buon gusto. L’ideale per una vacanza in pieno relax in mezzo agli splendidi ulivi della tenuta. Non manca veramente nulla. Abbiamo trascorso una splendida settimana. Da qui si possono raggiungere facilmente in auto varie spiagge, la splendida Ortigia ed altre località famose. Consigliamo vivamente questa struttura, dove speriamo in futuro di ritornare. Grazie ancora a Valeria e Giorgio

Wir hatten eine schöne Zeit bei Alessandro. Gerade mit kleinem Kind gibt es tolle Möglichkeiten wie einen Pool, eine große Wiese zum Spielen und besonders das Baumhaus! Die Nähe zum Meer zu Fuß ist schön (wenige Minuten bis zu einem kleinen Einstieg an einem Steinstrand, ein Sandstrand zum Liegen ist besser mit dem Auto erreichbar). Alessandro hat uns bei Fragen geholfen und war gut erreichbar!

We loved staying with Giovanni and family whom were really friendly and helpful . The house is beautifully set above a beach with its own access . Our room was lovely with good facilities. We have spent hours over the last few days relaxing swimming and snorkelling in amazing waters . The house is in good proximity to surrounding areas of interest with a car .

We had a fantastic time staying here. The villa is great with plenty of space, a good kitchen with everything you need. The gardens are amazing and huge with lots of different places to sit and relax and eat outside. There is also a beautiful pool. We were a family group of 4 (3 adults and a 2 year old). It was a really good place for a small child with loads of space to play and nice and quiet. Valeria and Giorgio were excellent hosts. The communication is clear and easy. When we had a couple of minor issues, they sorted them out really quickly so we could carry on enjoying our holiday. They also have great local recommendations. You need a car for the villa, but there are 3/4 nice restaurants only 5 minutes drive away serving a mix of seafood and pizza. All are family friendly and have great views over the sea and Ortigia. Ortigia and Siracusa are only 15 minutes away by car as well. I’d definitely recommend staying here.

Our stay at Respiro Greco with Ramona and Salvo was simply wonderful. From the first moment, we felt warmly welcomed and very well taken care of. The location is ideal – supermarkets, cafés, and small shops are nearby, and beautiful beaches like San Lorenzo, Noto Marina, and Fontane Bianche are only a short drive away. The historic center of Syracuse with its sights and excellent restaurants is also quickly reached. Ramona and Salvo were always available, very kind, and helpful. Their recommendations for restaurants, beaches, and places to visit were perfect. The homemade cake for Easter was a lovely surprise. The apartment was extremely clean, comfortable, and tastefully furnished. The pool was well maintained, Wi-Fi was strong, and the Smart TV offered Netflix and Amazon Prime for cozy evenings. Syracuse’s culinary offerings were a true highlight. If you want to fully enjoy Syracuse and its surroundings, staying longer is highly recommended. We will definitely return!

The villa was absolutely beautiful and very well equipped. We particularly enjoyed the choice of outdoor areas and the pool. Sabrina was an extremely lovely and responsive host who made sure our stay was smooth. Arriving in Catania at 8am, we were able to do an early check-in which was much appreciated. Our children also appreciated the cats who came to say hi, it reminded us of ours :) We would definitely recommend Sabrina’s place.

Roberto och hans son Erik var helt fantastiska. Vi bodde i Villa Bismarkia som var rent och prydligt. Allt man kan tänkas behöva finns och de gemensamma ytorna var så välskötta och fina. Rekommenderar start detta boende!

A beautiful spacious property, well equipped and with a marvellous swimming pool in which we swam every day. Alberto and also Nisha were very responsive and helpful. The villa is an easy 15 -20 minute drive to Siracusa.

Andrea's place is terrific - located a group of houses in a quiet area ~20 min drive from Siracusa with gated access that feels "remote". The house itself is half of a duplex and is exactly like the pictures in the listing - it is modern and clean and incredibly well furnished and stocked to feel like home. The beds were comfortable (firm), kitchen was well stocked for basic cooking, AC worked great, Wifi was excellent (fast upload speeds), and clothes washer was also good. There was a small hot tub in the backyard that worked OK (took a long time to heat up, but was then fine). There is a rock / rocky beach at the end of the street nearby, but we suggest that you use the 2 beach umbrellas and beach towels that are provided and go to either Spiaggia Punta Carrozza or Spiaggia del Minareto, both are ~10 min drive away. Communication with Andrea was good, and we appreciated his flexibility for our early check-in. Overall, highly recommended.

Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit in Syrakus - und das unter anderem Dank dieser schönen, super zentralen Wohnung! Die Gastgeber waren sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend, immer gut erreichbar und flexibel, was Check-in und -Out anging. Die Wohnung war geräumiger als ursprünglich gedacht und bot vielerlei Möglichkeit für gemeinsame Zeit aber auch Rückzugsmöglichkeiten. Wir können die Wohnung wärmstens weiterempfehlen!

Paolo was a lovely host, very responsive and available with any recommendations you might need. The apartment is in a nice location right next to the beach.

I would recommend everyone to stay at Giuseppina's wonderful apartment. She and her husband welcomed us warmly when we arrived and explained everything to us in detail and with care. Everything we needed was there. All the main attractions are in walking distance. We liked the calm, more local atmosphere of this neighborhood (different from the very touristy Ortigia). I would 200% recommend, I hope I can visit again one day and be able to read Giuseppina's poems in Italian. Wonderful experience.

Antonio was very helpful with a flexible check-in & instructions. Very easy to find his place and park across the street in a very inexpensive paid parking lot. His place was great for our family of 4 (including 2 teenagers). They were excited that they had their own rooms. The A/C worked great and made for easy sleeping at night. That’s not the case all over Italy. It was clean and the master bedroom was on the top level separate from everyone else. So even great if you were traveling with 2 couples. Nice cafe downstairs for morning cappuccino & pastries. Easy walking distance to Oritigia and I’d recommend for your stay in the area.

Marco was the best host anyone could hope for! Very polite, helpful, flexible and giving good advice about apartment and Syracuse city. The apartment was beautiful and in very good location, walking distance from archeological area and Ortigia, wonderful restaurants and bakery nearby. Close to supermarket aswell. We spent very lovely week there with my husband and two small kids. Wish we could come back someday. Thank you Marco and Stefania!

Всичко беше перфектно. Апартамента беше много добре обзаведен, чист имаше Всичко необходимо в него. Настанихме се по рано, за което много благодаря. Мястото беше идеално за разходка навсякъде.

Attentive host who greeted us at the property personally and remained at our disposal throughout our stay. Lovely home, very comfortable throughout with a well considered roof terrace which maximised the space and made it the perfect spot for early morning coffees and sundowners alike.
