The host was welcoming and responded to all our queries quickly and helpfully. He also arranged for a supermarket delivery before we arrived as the nearest shop is some distance. The property itself was great with amazing views across to Etna and access to a small beach five minutes’ walk away. Overall an excellent stay.

This unit has a nice view over the water looking at Siracusa. The unit and the building itself however are very run down and not looked after. They both need a lot of TLC. It was easy to find the unit because it was the only building with a broken gate and garbage cans left outsideThe owner didn’t leave instructions for the internet and the modem was turned off when we arrived. We had cold water in the morning only to discover the water heater and washer were also turned off.It was obvious the owner just doesn’t care.

Wonderful location but…….,,
This is a provisional review, subject to resolving a concern with the property owners.The property is located right on the water across the bay from Ortega. Wonderful views. It’s a large property with many units in it which we really didn’t understand when we booked it. The unit we were staying in was one of 10 or 12 individual units in the property. We were the only ones in the property while we were there.Great communication and coordination about getting access. Wonderful wide terraces. Beautiful views. Being on the water the property does need some maintenance but overall for the price is good value. This particular unit had a funky rock ‘n’ roll vibe, which was interesting. Not necessarily our style, but it was well set up and well provisioned with all the equipment you would need.The challenge we ran into was bedbugs in one of the bedrooms. We had a four night booking. By the second day, it was clear there was an issue with over 40 . By the third day, it was pretty horrendous. All contained to the one larger bedroom, but unfortunately, had a significant impact on the member of our group that was in that room.There was no way we could stay for the last night. We reached out to the local person. They expressed concern. But we’ve had a request for a refund in that they say they are considering, but it has not been resolved now nearly two weeks later. These things happen and property owners need to be prepared to deal with them appropriately when they do occur.

This was a great place to stay for 3 weeks as a family to enjoy Siracusa and eastern Sicily. The view, the patio, the access to the beach were amazing. Our host was great and responsive. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Nice, spacious apartment with a beautiful view of the water and Siracusa across. Very responsive owner and caretaker. Enjoyed going to Ortigia, Noto, Taormina, and Ragusa, plus beaches to the south. Easy to navigate in any direction. The pizzeria one minute walk away was delightful.

Excellent stay
Tony, the owner, was incredibly easy to deal with and very prompt in all his responses. He and his team were so helpful on our arrival and we were met at the property and given a guided tour plus lots of basic essential info about the area. Had we needed them, I have no doubt they’d have been in hand at any stage of our stay. The partner is certainly quirky, but in a wonderful position, with gorgeous views across to Ortigia (old Siracusa) which is just 15 minutes drive away. You can walk to a tiny cove with soft white sand and blue water in a couple of minutes, although, sadly, it was too wet and windy most of the time to take advantage of the beach. There is another lovely beach less than 10 minutes walk away on a quiet road past pretty gardens. The area is incredibly quiet and peaceful and you are surrounded by the sound of birds and sea. A highly recommend this place.

The view! The view! The view!
You won't ever want to leave the spacious terrace of this great apartment with great WiFi and great A/C. Ortigia with its culture, shops, and restaurants is an easy 10-20 min. drive, depending on traffic, while a couple of almost walkable pizza and seafood joints line the beach in the direction there. We did not use the beach but did use the barbecue one night. Tony is quick as lightning to respond to queries and resolve issues. Highly recommended.

Lovely villa with great views over the sea and Ortygia
The apartment is modern, stylish and clean, and had some amazing views over the sea towards Ortygia. Tony is a great host, always on hand to help. It is a short drive into Syracuse, and there are a number of great fish restaurants within a 10-15 minute walk. There is a nice quiet sandy beach at the end of the garden and an absolutely beautiful beach “, fine sand, surrounded by cliffs, about a 5 minute walk away. All in all, a great stay...

A modern oasis with a timeless view
Amazing house. Everything you need for a relaxing and peaceful vacation. The house was lovely, clean and spacious having exactly what you needed and everything worked perfectly. Air conditioning, wifi, tv with original language channels. A private cove for swimming connected to a sandy beach along with an outdoor terrace to die for. No need to leave the house unless you wanted to. Tony, the owner was an exceptional host and just a phone call away if we ever needed anything. We loved it so much we extended our stay. This is the place to stay if your travels take you near Syracuse.

Views outstanding!
Once you find this apartment, you will love sitting on the deck looking over the bay to Siracusa. Tony has redesigned a beautiful little spot. Everything was provided and the inside of the apartment very clean. However, this unit needs maintenance. A taped toilet seat, outdoor cushions stained and old, stored broken furniture on side deck, broken door handle, do not get a five. The view however is priceless and swimming in a small cove by the apt ..lovely.

L’appartement est extrêmement bien situé et bien décoré. Il jouit d’une splendide vue sur la baie de Syracuse. Seul point négatif est le manque de vaisselle (verres, couverts..) et d’une batterie de casseroles sale et usée. Andrea est très accueillant et très réactif. Il est de bons conseils au point de vue centres d’intérêts, restaurants et magasins! Nous y avons passé un excellent séjour.Cependant il faut savoir que la terrasse manque un peu d’intimité.
