For relax and sea lovers, Eastern Sicily and the surroundings of Siracusa are the perfect choice. Leaving the ancient Greek city and going toward the south, the best equipped beaches worth of a visit are Minareto, Fanusa, Arenella and Fontane Bianche, whose name is due to the natural sweet spring water and to the unique white sand. Then, In the island of Ortigia there are some equipped solarium (Zefiro and Nettuno), as well as the free beach of Cala Rossa. Going further south, about 30 kms far away from Siracusa, there are amazing and wild beaches: Calamosche, Vendicari with its Wildlife Park and the precious San Lorenzo. For those looking for cultural and historical sites, it is recommended to visit Teatro Greco and its archeological site with the famous Orecchio di Dionisio (a limestone cave shaped as a human ear), the Museum Paolo Orsi, then the Latomie dei Cappuccini, and finally the island of Ortigia with its natural and historic eye-catching landscapes. Finally, our guests should visit the town of Noto, the seafront of Tonnara di Avola and the fisherman village of Marzamemi. Sicily is beauty, a wild land with a millennial history impossible to forget at first glance, that will take a special space in your heart.
The airport of Catania Fontanarossa is about 60 kms far away, while “Comiso Pio la Torre” airport is 110 kms far. The train station of Siracusa is 1 km far from Ortigia, as well as the interbus station connected with the airports.

The house is too big on two floors and not very clean. Only one set of bath towels will be given for 3 nights.

Thank you for the feedback. We are glad that you liked the size and location of the house. Regarding the towels, we would like to clarify that our company does not operate as a hotel, which is why we provide each guest with a complete set of 3 towels. Extra towels can be requested at an additional charge. We have since carried out a thorough cleaning to ensure the apartment is in its best condition. The Wonderful Italy Team
This was a last minute trip and it was absolutely perfect. The loft was an easy walk from the station and the entire check in process couldn’t have been easier. The same goes for the check out process. Central location and QUIET. That was the most important part for me. I will absolutely be back!
Spacious and great location near market... but also lots of bar activity on weekends and noisy. I imagine summer is very noisy if you want to keep windows open. Kitchen items could be better condition and better supplied - e.g. collander, matching wine glasses, and insrtuctions on how to use oven, switches relating to appliances, etc. A two day learning process of trial and error before we got the hang of everything.
