Another great stay in Syracuse with views from the terrace
This was our second visit to Antonio's property (much delayed return due to Covid) and as last time we were greeted with a smile and nothing is too much to ask. The rooftop terrace has been redone and is a beutiful place to sit and relax and being so close to the town and Ortigia (and the wonderful food) is ideal, whilst still being able to travel out and about. Our thanks again to our great host and we will be back.

Nice stay
Antonio’s communication was excellent throughout. The apartment has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, which is en suite to the main bedroom. Good to know if you’re not travelling with family (luckily I was). The main draw is the fabulous balcony / outside space, which has great views across the water / Ortigia. The area is ok, and very close to lots of amenities. It’s about a 10 min walk to Ortigia, which we did most days. Whilst it didn’t ruin our holiday, we were disappointed by the fact the air con in the lounge stopped working properly, there was no wifi, the TV kept cutting out (a lot!) and the handle to the balcony area broke. Antonio did come round very quickly to fix the door though, which was very appreciated. All in all, I’d recommend for a couple or small family.

Wi-Fi and parking were both listed as amenities. Neither were available, and neither the owner nor VRBO have done anything to make amends despite numerous attempts on our part to seek some recompense.

Lovely apartment, contained everything two of us needed for a 1 week stay. Terrace was excellent
First time to Sicily so unknown territory. We couldn't have enjoyed it more. Great location in a very easy going city. Easy walk to everything we wanted to get to in Siracusa and on Ortygia, with easy links to get onto routes to the rest of the ionian coast and inland. Inside, the apartment lacked for nothing. No internet connection whilst we were there but that didn't cause us any problems. Parking right outside could be difficult but you soon learn to park like a Sicilian. I couldn't recommend this apartment or its location more highly. Loved every minute. Antonio so helpful and gave great advice on beaches etc and helped us have a perfect springtime break.

Very well equipped apartment with a beautiful terrace.The views over the bay were stunning and the apartment had everything we needed.Antonio went out of his way to make sure we knew everything necessary and responded to our queries when needed. Ortigia is a 10-15 minute walk and well worth a visit.

Centrally located, with a fabulous terrace and sea views
The 9th floor apartment was extremely easy to get to from Catania Airport. The airport bus (about €10 return) stops less than 5 mins walk away. We found that we could get easily by walking to both the Greek remains and the old city of Ortiga. Nearby were a large supermarket and places to eat ice cream in the evening. We ate on the terrace, and relaxed during the afternoon heat. It's high enough to get a breeze from the sea. Antonio was very welcoming and the flat was well stocked with everything we needed. Plus there were some beers, cheese and a huge bowl of oranges waiting for us. Highly recommended.

Lovely apartment with wonderful terrace
The apartment was perfect and centrally located in a very quiet and safe area. We loved the terrace which was so relaxing with the great views of the city. Antonio was charming and very welcoming and thoughtful. We arrived on a Sunday afternoon and he had left a large basket of fruit, milk, water, biscuits, etc. We would highly recommend this apartment.

An excellent apartment!
Antonio's apartment was great! It was very well located, very close to the train station but not affected by the noise, and equidistant to Ortigia Island and the Ruins or the Greek and Roman theaters. His terrace, in fact, is quite special with lots of space, a covered portion and lovely views of the sea. However, the rest of the apartment is good too! The bedroom is nice and roomy, the bed very comfortable and it also has views. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking and he even has a washing machine. We really enjoyed our stay. Thanks, Antonio!

Not a pleasant place to stay.
Syracuse is not a beautiful city and this was certainly not an attractive part of Syracuse. Antonio, the owner was prompt and friendly but he could use some better help in keeping the apartment clean, less cluttered and useable. The apartment had a stale smell, the toilet seat was off a hinge, the bed and bath linens were old and tired, the kitchen was cluttered with food--some in open packages and the cupboards were not clean. We did not feel comfortable making meals here which was disappointing. The rooftop deck should have been a sanctuary with its beautiful views, but the furniture was covered with filthy, torn coverings and one of the lounge chairs was broken. The photos on the website were clearly taken some time ago when things were newer, cleaner and much less cluttered. There was no street parking close by. We have stayed in many, many VRBOs both homes and apartments with HomeAway, but this one did not live up to the description and photos. We wish we had booked a vacation rental in Ortygia since that is where we spent all our time. Ortygia is definitely worth a visit and was about a half mile walk away.

Beautiful apartment in a wonderful location
We are a family with a child of 5 y.o. and stayed in the apartment from end July during one week. The apartment is located in a nice place , just 10 min walking to Ortigia, the ols centre of Siracuse . It was never a problem to find a parking place near the building . The apartment is very cosy and is very well and tastefully equiped by all necessary things and even more . The terrace with a view is great. Antonio, the owner , is a very helpful person . He welcomes his guests with some first needed shoppings like water, fruits, milk , bread. Communication was perfect . After our scheduled 1 week stay in Antonio's apartment we left to another place in Taormina , whereafter we missed Siracuse and Antonio's apartment so much , that we wished to return ! We would absolutely recommed this place to each person : with or without kids . And we would like to come back ! Thanks, Antonio !

Ideal location for sightseeing/restaurants/shopping
We stayed 4 nights in Antonio's apartment, which is a very well equipped, well maintained penthouse on the 9th floor - so there were brilliant views from the large terrace and we were not overlooked at all. We walked everywhere as Ortigia, with it's marvelous baroque buildings was 10 to 15 minute walk away, the Greek amphitheatre was just up the road (We thought the entrance fee was excessive at €10 each especially as the Roman theatre was closed - no-one told us this until we were inside the archaeological park!) and designer shops on the doorstep. Antonio was the perfect host. There was a large bowl of fruit awaiting us on arrival and when we foolishly left some things in the apartment when we left, Antonio brought them to the airport in Catania for us before we flew out - incredible service! Thank you so much. He also recommended a restaurant within 5 minute walk which served amazing steaks. In fact there are loads of places to eat and drink in Ortigia and Syracuse, but this restaurant was the best we found. We had a rental car as we were touring Sicily and this was a bit of a liability in Syracuse but we managed to park for free in the street near the apartment for the 4 days we were there. The weather was perfect in early October - 25 to 28 degrees C. We loved Syracuse and the apartment and hope to return sometime - maybe for a long weekend break.

Very good apartment in great location
We enjoyed our stay at this 9th floor apartment with a large balcony and great views of Siracusa. The large double bed was comfortable and everything in the apartment worked OK. There were some minor issues with some of the contents which we related to Antonio, the owner, who was very helpful in meeting us when we were delayed by traffic jams and a large procession in the nearby streets. Parking on the street is free but can be difficult to find, so we used the nearby parking station which cost EUR 20 per day.
