Fantastic location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The property fully met our needs and the lovely roof terrace was amazing. Fantastic sea views and just metres away from the steps down to the beach. Perfect for us.

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.

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

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.

Location, location, location!

Literally steps away from a beautiful waterfront, and within walking distance of all amenities (groceries, shops), you cannot ask for a better location for a wonderful holiday stay. Also a mere 10-minute drive to Ortigia, but also possible by foot (lovely 30-minute stroll). The apartment itself is well-equipped with two large terraces, one offer offering stunning oceanfront views.

I loved having the big terrace! Had nice meals and watched the sunrise on the water in front. I went swimming all the time (wear proper swim shoes) in the crystal waters and walked to town everyday (25 minutes). The only criticism is the drainage in the shower that needs improvement. Bit loved every minute of my stay.

Nice stay with exceptional terrace but bathroom can use an update

We stayed for 3 nights. Overday it was sunny, so we lived on the terrace and the sea is just some steps away.The appartment was practical but bathroom can use an update. Bed wobbled a bit.

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.

Fantastic apartment !

Beautifully clean, modern apartment, with great terrace . The apartment is an easy 15 minute walk to the Island of Ortigia, and within walking distance of the major archeological ruins (about 1.5 kilometers). Comfortable bed, well equipped kitchen and lovely bathroom. Grazie Francesco ! David and Heidi

Rooftop Heaven

I could not believe just how lucky I was when I walked into the little rooftop apartment. Beautifully bright, lovely size for just me (or a couple). Clean. A lovely size bathroom and bedroom… but the real win here are the two very large patios (we are on the roof of the building). Just a stone throw from the sea the balcony sits above the sound of waves and is greeted by the sunrise directly in front of you each morning. Absolutely stunning! And just a 15minutes walk to the main center. I would stay again! And again!

Great Balcony

Hosts were very good when our flights were cancelled and changed due to Air Traffic Controllers computer crash. Francesco was still there to meet us upon late arrival because of flight delay. Outstanding feature of this property is the huge balcony overlooking the sea in a very quiet area. A ‘safe’ walk into ortiga which can be done in 15-20 minutes.

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.

The air conditioner is bedroom only. Living room and bathroom are so hot you cant brush your teeth without working up a sweat. Shower didnt drain and it was nasty. We compared staying here to camping. The beach close by is rocky and access to the water is dangerous. We tried the beach once but its a huge slip hazard. We wished we stayed in the old town island area.

2 fabulous terraces

We spent a very nice week in Francesco's apartment. We received a friendly welcome from him. There was always a parking space in the dead-end street. The furnishings and available space were sufficient for us. However, we chose the place for the terraces and the view was truly phenomenal on all sides. It was still very warm in October and the mosquitoes were active in the evening. If you want to sleep with open windows, it is best to bring a mosquito net, but there is also air conditioning. To visit the archaeological park and Ortigia we rented an electric bicycle from Greenbike. They brought the bicycle to our apartment and thanks to the bicycle we avoided traffic jams and parking problems in the center. Highly recommended.
