Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Island of Ortigia

great place and salvo is very helpful. Great stay wpuld 100% recommended

I highly recommend this apartment in the heart of Ortigia, a stone's throw from the market and the island's main tourist attractions. The ancient theater and archaeological area are slightly further away, but still within walking distance. In the surrounding area, you can find popular restaurants of remarkable quality. The neighborhood is entirely pedestrian, being an ancient Arab medina. The apartment is modern and functional, very cool and airy, with a large terrace without vis-à-vis. Wi-Fi works perfectly, it is a very convenient base for exploring the city. The host is extremely responsive, reachable on WhatsApp and on the platform, for any urgent or non-urgent need.

We stayed at Armando's for two nights and had a great time. The location is quiet, in the Syracusan countryside, near the beautiful beaches Le Fontane Bianche, Ognina, Arenella etc. and a few kilometers from the beautiful but confusing Syracuse. The accommodation was perfectly clean and equipped with everything you need, small kitchen, fridge, comfortable bed, air conditioning, a small entrance with table, chairs and umbrella, clothes rack, etc. Armando was very kind and helpful and provided us with great advice. If the opportunity arises, we will definitely return to his accommodation.

Lovely, friendly hosts who are very helpful and do their best to accommodate your needs and made everything so easy. The property is great value for money. The property was clean and felt like a home away from home. The kitchen is great has everything you need to cook meals, washing machine room also next to the kitchen which is great. The property is 20 minutes drive from loads of great beaches. Lovely outdoor area to eat and relax. Would definitely recommend.

Book with your eyes closed 👍We just spent 3 nights from 16 to 19 /10/2024, in Casa di Mauro , which totally matches the photos and descriptions. Ideally located near the temple of Apollo , we were quiet in this charming ultra clean, functional accommodation, equipped with everything that makes a place comfortable and above all tastefully decorated. The bedding is ultra comfortable . In addition , we enjoyed the warm welcome from our host, Maria . Thank you for his listening, his pro activity, his responsiveness and all his attention that brings the little more magical in the rental... water bottles and toilet products. Thank you also for his good tips and for the great places for lunch and dinner. All the ingredients were there to fully enjoy our stay in Syracuse in the heart of Ortigia and we felt in the accommodation very comfortable as home.…the experience delighted us and we will come back .

Clean and modern apartment in a great location. Luca is a kind and accommodating host.

Had an excellent weekend. Lovely food and very friendly people. Easy to get to from airport (by bus €6.20) short walk a few stairs some of which are very narrow in the studio. All very clean. The only slight problem were the sheets which didn’t stay on the bed. Thanks for the wonderful stay.

Beautiful ambience, everything very clean and perfectly furnished. This accommodation is tasteful and sophisticated, a true gem right by the sea

Silvia was an excellent host, always responsive and very helpful. We were able to find the villa with her instructions and she was there to greet us and say goodbye when we left. The villa was spotless and we loved the outdoor space with all its different seating areas and bbq. The house was well equipped with thoughtful touches. There were lots of little extras for our stay including clean towels, jams, treats and Prosecco. A great base for exploring Sicily’s south east. Highly recommend this stay.

Giuseppe’s villa is beautiful, tastefully decorated and very spacious. The variety of outdoor seating areas were lovely for enjoying the sun at different periods of the day. The pool was superb, beautiful and clean. The villa is 10 minutes drive from Syracuse and Ortigia, which have a huge variety of delicious restaurants and bars. The streets are beautiful to explore, especially in the evenings. The only downside to the villa was the area. Unfortunately, there are no pavements so walking anywhere is unsafe. Therefore, hiring a car is necessary. There is a bus, but it only passes 4 x daily. There are local restaurants to visit, but driving is required due to the roads, and at our time of visiting it was unclear whether these were open or not. Despite this, I would happily visit Giuseppe’s villa again without a doubt. Thank you for having us.

Peppe is a super host and he made our stay very enjoyable. He was very diligent to our needs, gave us more than enough advice on what to see and eat and also what to do. I can’t recommend this place enough!

We had a wonderful 4 day stay at Alessandro’s house with the beautiful garden and amazing views… our 4year old son loved the pool, the playground and- after some time- the big dog ;-) we would love to come back to this great host

Salvatore has been lovely. The garden is beautiful and the kids enjoyed the pool a lot. Ideal place to shine in the area. Very nice bedding. we had a lovely stay!

We just had the most fantastic 9 days at Andrea’s house with our two girls. Andrea very kindly met us at the house despite our delays. We were treated to the most delicious housewarming treat of ice creams. This is without a doubt the best house we have stayed it. I am meticulous when finding a house for our family holidays. It was spotless clean, very comfortable beds, the kitchen was well equipped and the pool and outside space was a dream. We hired a car for noto, Ortigia ( use Andreas parking recommendations and boat company for a tour, Marzanemi and Aqua-beach. Velo cafe is a great spot for a nice coffee, granite (kids loved them) and bakery. It was prefect time to go an average of 24 degrees and no crowds. This is going to be a very memorable holiday and are thanks go to Andrea for a prefect house and being so responsive throughout our trip. Xx

The place is absolutely amazing, high quality build and decorations in everything, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The pool is the best I have seen, including hotel pools, as it’s deep enough at one end (well over 2 meters) to jump in and has a spring board. Location is near a road but it’s well isolated enough that you can’t see the traffic and it’s quiet, just a beautiful retreat. The kitchen is very well equipped and has a big dining room. Hosts are perfect - very responsive when you need them, non intrusive when you don’t. You need a car, but location next to Siracuse is perfect with lots of beautiful places to visit nearby. We would definitely return!

The host was extremely lovely and accommodating. The villa was beautiful and was perfect for hosting of dinners in the evening. The standout was the terrace which offered beautiful views - Germana was our host and was a pleasure to speak with. Was a great place for a getaway with the girls!!

This place was in amazing location and is walkable to all the lively spots on the island. Andrea was the best Airbnb host we have ever had. He responds right away, was always there for questions and gave us recommendations for the entire city so we did feel in great hands. I recommend this place to everybody. The Airbnb was very clean and had all we needed for our 3 day trip! Stay here Andrea will take great care of you.

We had eight really wonderful days in the apartment! We can only recommend staying there and would love to come again! It's just like you can see in the photos. The rooftop terrace is completely private, and it's really lovely and a great luxury. The apartment is well decorated and has everything you need. And a big luxury to have a view of the water from the bath. The host was easy to communicate with and flexible. You have to be able to walk stairs to stay in the apartment. The location was also nice. Ortigia, 5 - 7 minutes down there. We arrived by train and the apartment is two-three minutes from the station, which was just perfect. We ate ice cream every day at a small local ice cream place located 200 meters from the apartment; Viola Gelateria.

Host went out of her way to help us access the apartment as it seemed to us that the narrow road was for pedestrians only. She helped us carry our luggage up the street and up the stairs. Very responsive and helpful. We arrived early and were allowed to leave our luggage while Carlotta the lovely and helpful cleaning lady finished her work. We had a bit of an issue unlocking the door, but hosts responded quickly to help us out.

This was one of our favourite stays in Sicily. Comfy beds, blockout curtains. Fabulous kitchen with quality pans and necessities. Glamorous bathrooms. Excellent communication. Lovely gifts on arrival- including prosecco and sweet biscuits. Great location with easy parking but totally walkable to all the sites. Best location in Ortigia as it is hard to access by car and you would have to walk for ages with bags to other apartments. Host was absolutely delightful. Could not recommend more! Huge bedrooms and showers.

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

We had the most amazing stay at 'Flying Whales'. It was super easy to find and Leandro's mum, Rosy gave us great instructions for our arrival. She also left us some wine and goodies which was super thoughtful🥰 and even checked in with us by text during the holiday to check all was good. We absolutely loved our stay from start to finish and the icing on the cake is the amazing roof terrace with spectacular views. It's an amazing place to stay, right in the heart of beautiful Ortigia and we were sad to leave, but hoping to come and stay at your lovely apartment again.

Delightful place. Would love to come again

Spectacular apartment! Comfortable, bright, well set and close to the sea. I felt right at home! I also really liked the location and area, you can enjoy Ortigia on foot! Everything you need is at hand, historical sites and restaurants I highlight the good disposition and closeness of Mariella and Amilcare, always present and willing to help! They welcomed us and showed us their house and also gave us a great hand with the pre-booking of the parking for the car. Definitely, very happy with the choice of this house!! I highly recommend it! Thank you so much!!
