Family-friendly vacation rentals in Island of Ortigia

Francesco’s place is brilliant! We stayed for a few nights and absolutely loved it. A great base for trips all around the east side of the island. There’s lots of space and the two balconies are a particular highlight. Highly recommended.

A beautiful villa in a great location and Francesco was really helpful and accommodating. Just be wary of the stairs if you have young children!

The apartment was almost as described in the listing with few minor discrepancies, but over all great stay, feels safe and the view from the terrace is nice while chilling in the hot tub. The information about complimentary breakfast and snacks is a bit misleading but we gave it benefit of the doubt and figured it out with the responsive administration afterwards.

Excellent place to stay. Sebastiano was excellent host, reacting very quickly on any question. Beautiful small beach Very close, apartment very comfortable and well equiped. Very good position to explore south east “corner” of Sicily.

Everything was absolutely amazing! Would recommend this home to anyone thinking of coming to Siracusa and would definitely like to book this accommodation again next time! Perfect!

Wonderful hosts with an amazing property in an ideal location. We didn't want to leave .... ever! :) Ada was fantastic from booking through check out. They offered fabulous recommendations and a beautiful home with the best of everything, including washer & dryer and valet parking! We cannot wait to return!! Highly recommended!!!

beautiful villa. There is a piece attached which is not yet in the pictures so you have a second large sitting area with extra dining table. upon arrival, everything was explained very clearly. Even though it was April, we already had a lovely swim in the pool. good beds and free cots. very nice kitchen. communication goes very smoothly. We had a top vacation!

Antonio is a super nice host. He gave us lots of information and tips. The complex is very well maintained and spacious, the pool magnificent. We felt very comfortable in the apartment because it was very well furnished and also extremely clean. The lemon trees convey a wonderful Mediterranean feeling. We felt very comfortable and want to come back.

Fantastic 3 weeks at Francesco`s beautiful apartment - superbly located on Isola Ortigia, an absoultely spectacular place. Lively even during winter and a number of sights (Neapolis is a must!). Went to the food market for fish and greens and made dinner at home every other day or so. Otherwise a number of very good restaurants within a 500m radius. Breakfast and lunches on the spectacular terrase, short/t-shirt at least half the days (when in the sun) even during winter. Francesco was very helpful when we needed some minor assistance with heating and dishwasher. The heating system was the best I have every come across in Italy - water heated radiators, not only the usual A/C. All in ll - spotless!

This was a really friendly and helpful host and I was very comfortable here and enjoyed my stay.

THE PERFECT LOCATION and the BEST view. We were very pleased with the apartment. The view and location are even better than described. There is some street noise during the day and evening but very quiet at night.

Thank you Salvatore for hosting us in your lovely space. Comfortable, quiet and all you need for a relaxing stay near the beach.

we stayed here 6 years ago and we returned as we loved the location. So very quiet, it's a few minutes walk to the sea ( fab sunrise) Cafe Viola around the corner for breakfast and Solaria - wine shop and bar - sampled some more fantastic Sicilian wines

I felt so relaxed and comfortable here and Emmanuel was a wonderful and attentive host! Would stay here again!

The setting of the Cabanon and the sympathy and advice of our host Andrea sublimated our stay in Sicily🙂🙂🙂. Recommended without hesitation.

Such a great place in a great city. Easy to walk around and can reach endless options of restaurants within few minutes. Great value for the location and plenty of space for my husband and I. Wonderful experience!

Great villa with large garden where kids can just have fun. We even used the pool twice, in April. Loredana is very professional, nice and helpful.

Giuseppe was a great host, he told us lots of local places to go which were fantastic. The house was good value and the pool area was very nice. The house was clean and tidy and had everything we needed including an electric orange juice perfect for fresh Sicilian oranges. My negative comments would be that it is on a relatively busy road, you cannot walk to anything in the neighbourhood so you need a car. I also found the beds very hard and uncomfortable. However access to local beaches is easy by car and also into Syracuse/ Ortiga, I noticed lots of buses that if more organised we would have taken!

This place was a little oasis in the middle of the city. It’s so beautiful, clean and well-kept. We were offered some treats and helpful items on arrival. The kids loved the property, the pool, the yard, and the home. The garden is just so serene. Charlotte is such a nice person. She was attentive, very friendly, genuine and helpful. I would not hesitate to stay here again, nor would I hesitate to recommend Charlotte and her home to others.

Alessandro and Valentina are wonderful hosts. We arrived with our little daughter Paula (1< year) and Alessandro provided us with everything we needed. We felt like at home and Paula slept great. A crib with height-adjustable sides, so you have a family bed, a mei maker, blender, toys, extra blankets for crawling - thank you very much for that! The apartment on the ground floor is located in a fantastic garden, you can see directly to the sea. We felt very comfortable!

It’s a beautiful, modern villa with an infinity pool and gorgeous terrace, 10 minutes by car from Siracusa. You most definitely need your own transport but if you do, it’s easy to find restaurants etc that are a short car drive away. Would recommend Cava Grande, which is about 45 minutes away (Carrubella hike) and the beautiful nature reserve on the Southern coast. Definitely worth the trip to Mount Etna as well (a couple of hours in the car)

Place is a bit difficult to find as the airbnb app sends you to a different location than where it actually is. Double confirm with the host to get the right location. Lots of space. Rooms were kept well. The on site person was fun and helpful. Some of the outside furniture and umbrellas etc need replacing as there are falling apart, This is the only real criticism I have. The kitchen is fantastic for cooking for a large group like us! Plenty of communal places to sit inside and outside to eat and talk. Thanks Martina for the flexible check in and check out times! You made our weekend extra special!

Together with our 3 year old child, we spent a total of 10 days at Andrea’s house. We felt very comfortable in the apartment the entire time. Andrea welcomed us very nicely when we arrived and showed us everything. Kindly enough, water, coffee, milk, etc. were ready for us upon arrival. The apartment and the garden were clean and well-kept and the pool was always a nice cool down for us. When our child got sick, Andrea supported us a lot and even organized a doctor's appointment with his pediatrician. Thank you very much! But we also always got a quick and helpful answer to questions and tips. Aranelle is a tranquil place with beautiful beaches and a good starting point for excursions to Noto, Syrakusa, nature reserves and other beaches in the southeast. A car is always recommendable, especially since you are further away from interesting shopping opportunities.
