It's like a home away from home.
For travellers who are looking to stay somewhere with character - not a generic polished hotel. It's like a home away from home.

Great property in the best part of Ortigia
This apartment is full of character and in a very attractive part of the old Jewish quarter, close to local shops and very handy for exploring Ortigia. Perhaps the best single thing about the property is the sun terrace - blissful! Highly recommended.

Beautiful Ortigia
Wonderful location, lovely roof terrace. Comfy bed. Well equipped kitchen. However, the second bedroom does not have a door so limited privacy. The property is full of the owner's belongings and is very cluttered making it difficult to find storage space for our own things. The shower is not in a cubicle so the whole bathroom (and beyond) gets very wet and dangerously slippy.

Our stay in Ortigia
The property is very central. The apartment is very quirky with lots of art. We ate out so didn’t use kitchen really but it looked well equipped. Although it didn’t bother us this apartment may not be very good for the elderly as a lot of stairs. Overall we really enjoyed this apartment and loved Ortigia.

Charming with wonderful terrace
Communications and checking were excellent! Location excellent on a charming street with everything you need a few steps away including the famous puppet theater! And everything you want to see in this tiny Island in easy walking distance. The apartment is homey and comfortable, fully equipped. The upstairs bedroom has a sloped ceiling and beams which make it difficult to stand in the low places—the occasional head bump. Water system and plumbing worked well. Bathroom is a wet room with integrated shower, no problems. Clean and comfortable! Thank you Melina and Viviana for a sweet stay in Ortigia.

Wonderful holiday, very generous accommodation but does need air conditioning!
The apartment is superbly located a short walk from Syracuse Cathedral, all the restaurants & shops on the island of Ortigia plus a good range of small supermarkets practically next door. The large, superbly equipped apartment is on the second floor with an internal glass staircase to the 2nd bedroom & sunny terrace -though the staircase has only one handrail so possible not for the nervous or suitable for children. The main drawback is the lack of air conditioning; we were there in September with temperatures in the mid to high 80s and we had to use the fan all night in the bedroom.

bel appartement mais....
Attention ! Nous avons tenté un séjour que nous savions sans climatisation avec seulement 2 ventilateurs nous avons pu prendre les températures dans les chambres ( respectivement 35 et 39 degrés dans la chambre sous les combles )les 10 premiers jours du mois d'août.. Impossible donc d'envisager un séjour reposant en Sicile en plein été dans un logement non climatisé L'appartement est beau et lumineux dans un très bon quartier d'Ortigia ... Bémol également pour le périlleux escalier en verre aux bords contondants et au réfrigérateur de la taille d'un minibar la terrasse est également très bien aménagée et très agréable si vous acceptez la contrainte de devoir arroser les plantes tous les matins/ou soirs .car telles sont les conditions du propriétaire

Appartement tres bien situé.
Dans l'ensemble l'endroit est tout a fait convenable et fonctionnel mais aurait peut-etre avantage a etre un peu dépersonnalisé. Ceci dans le but d'avoir un peu plus d,espace pour mettre nos effets personnels. La terrasse est belle mais un peu trop de fleurs en pots...ce qui minimise l'espace.Pour le reste tout est adéquat. L'hotesse est accueillante et donne toutes les informations utiles pour un séjour dans ce lieu de rêve.... Nous gardons de beaux souvenirs d'Ortigia

Wonderful location close to everything. Lovely deck for sitting out. Owner is very responsive to any requests. Great place for a family. Loft bedroom more challenging for older adults.

Stylish, uber cool, well located - terrace is fab
Perfect location just a short walk away from the main square. Small street that is lively during the day but quiet at night. Ideal for a couple but has two bedrooms so suit two couples as well. Slept in large bedroom on lower level right next to the bathroom which is at the back of the flat away from the street so very silent at night. Great kitchen with oven and everything you need to cook. The flat is much larger than photos suggest. Big comfy sitting room. Terrace is amazing - but you must be willing to water the plants! Melina was very helpful in answering our question prior to arriving and her friend Viviana met us and got us well settled in. Would want to come back to this super cool flat again. Ortigia is truly amazing. Thanks for allowing us to share your special home Melina - we had a really good holiday. Best Homeaway property we have ever stayed in!

Zum Heimischfühlen, aber nicht ganz ungefährlich
Eine sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtete Wohung auf zwei Etagen. Leider ist wenig Platz für den Gast zur Ablage seine mitgebrachten Kleidung und sonstigen Utensilien. Es ist eben eine meist wohl von der Besitzerin selbst bewohnte, sehr hüsch trapierte, aber für die Vermietung etwas zu volle Wohnung. Die Lage in einer wunderbar abwechslungsreichen Straße ist sehr gut, sehr nah zum Domplatz. Durchaus ein Ort zum Wiederkehren. Leider ist die Glastreppe in den ersten Stock nicht ganz ungefährlich. Bei uns gab es einen Sturz.

Die Ferienwohnung ist sehr persönlich eingerichtet und es gab sogar im Kühlschrank Schinken
Schöne Wohnung, aber nur für Menschen, die keine Angst vor Glastreppen habebn. sprich kleine Kinder, dass geht nicht in dieser Wohnung. Die Eingangstür müsste mit Gitter, was nicht funktionierte, gesichert werden können. Die nachbarn haben dies alle.Sehr ruhig dort und leider hat mann aber Nachts manchmal den Gerucch der Erdölraffinerie gerochen. Der Ort ist sehr nett und lebendig im Frühjahr ist es aber zu kalt zum baden.
