Family-friendly vacation rentals in Island of Ortigia

Francesco war sehr freundlich, schnell und flexibel. Typisch italienische Hilfsbereitschaft und Gastfreundschaft. Die Wohnung ist toll, sehr ruhig, sauber und perfekt zum Entspannen. Wir waren zu zweit dort und hatten daher extrem viel Platz. Auch zu viert kann man dort ganz sicher sehr gute Tage verbringen.

Mariella's place was not only spotless and beautifully furnished, but it was located in an ideal location to fully enjoy and explore Ortigia! The apartment was close to the water and only five minutes' walk from the square. We loved staying there and already plan to return the next time we vacation in Sicily!

Wir haben den Aufenthalt in der schönen und grossen Villa von Francesco sehr genossen. Sowohl die Villa, wie auch der phantastische Pool waren blitzsauber. Die Nachbarschaft ist sehr ruhig und angenehm und die Lage ist ein guter Ausgangspunkt für Tagesausflüge in die Umgebung. Die Villa ist somit sehr zu empfehlen!

Die Wohnung ist hell, modern und sehr gut eingerichtet. Der Vermieter war super nett und hilfsbereit. Das Zentrum ist schnell zu Fuß zu erreichen. Perfekter Ausgangspunkt in alle Richtungen. Die Bushaltestelle/der Busbahnhof befindet sich unmittelbar an dem Haus und von der Terrasse aus zu hören. Grundsätzlich hat Sizilien ein massives Problem mit Müllentsorgung, was in manchen Vierteln leider deutlich zu sehen ist.

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.

Allt var helt fantastiskt! Vill rekommendera detta boende till alla som funderar på att komma till Siracusa och vill definitivt boka detta boende igen nästa gång! Perfekt!

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!!!

prachtige villa. Er is een stuk aangebouwd wat nog niet op de foto's staat waardoor je een tweede grote zithoek met extra eettafel hebt. bij de aankomst werd alles heel duidelijk uitgelegd. ondanks dat het april was hebben we al heerlijk gezwommen in het zwembad. goede bedden en gratis kinderbedjes. zeer fijne keuken. communicatie verloopt heel vlot. wij hebben een top vakantie gehad!

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 is a convenient flat with loads of great restaurants etc nearby. We recommend a great local bar/restaurant Il Quarto steak house. Proper local bar, full all the time when most other restaurants empty, wide selection of great food, proper bar staff, etc. Parking was Ok. Easy walk to the archeological park which was fantastic. Only issue we faced was that the spiral staircase to the bedroom is hard to negotiate with a large suitcase and you have to do a steep up and down staircase to access the front door - it was not too much of a problem for us as we are fit but it might be hard for some people

Super consigliato!! Giuseppe è stato un host impeccabile e super accogliente. Ci tornerò sicuramente

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.

Salvatore a été un hôte très accueillant et attentionné. Nous avons été touchés par les petites attentions à notre arrivée, notamment le petit gâteau et le jus pour notre fille. Nous nous sommes sentis tout de suite à l’aise. La maison est pratique, bien équipée et idéalement située pour découvrir la région. Nous recommandons sans hésiter !

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

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!

The apartment is located in the heart of the old city, a short distance from the main cathedral square, in a great location. The room was comfortable and clean, very artistic and tasteful. The landlord is also very welcoming and responds promptly with all kinds of help and useful information. Hope to stay here again if we could back to Syracuse .

Wir haben eine tolle Woche Anfang April im Haus von Loredana verbracht. Der Garten mit Pool ist wirklich wunderschön ! Da es sich noch um die Nebensaison handelte , war es schön einsam und ruhig. Für uns genau richtig ! Wer um die Zeit Trubel sucht sollte vielleicht woanders hinfahren. Ein Auto vor Ort zum Einkaufen etc. ist sehr sinnvoll. Dann kann man auch mit wenig Fahrzeit viele tolle Dinge entdecken ( je nach Ausflugsziel empfiehlt sich ein unempfindliches Auto, da die Straßen teilweise abenteuerlich sind .. Vollkasko zu empfehlen ) Loredana war zu jeder Zeit für uns erreichbar und sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Kommunikation war per Translator sehr unkompliziert! Wir empfehlen die Unterkunft uneingeschränkt für Familien mit jüngeren Kindern . Die Betten für die Kinder sind eher klein und unser Teenager mit 1,80 m haben wir aufs Sofa umquartiert. Ging aber auch. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

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.

We absolutely loved our stay here. The downstairs apartment is simple and very clean with two simple but peaceful bedrooms. The kitchen has a great fridge freezer, gas cooker and area to prepare meals or bbq food if you fancy cooking at home. There is an inside table but we spent all our time outside at the two seating areas, both shaded, one outside the door and the other up beside the pool. The garden area was fantastic for an early morning coffee before you walk the 2 minutes to the beautiful sandy beach. We spent lazy lunches sitting on the upper table area and then having fun playing in the pool, which was clean and larger than we expected. The owners were welcoming and made us feel very relaxed, making this a great place to base ourselves to explore the island. We can’t recommend it enough, especially the outside areas.

Alessandro und Valentina sind wunderbare Gastgeber. Wir reisten mit unserer kleinen Tochter Paula an (1< Jahr) und Alessandro hat uns alles zur Verfügung gestellt, was wir brauchten. Wir haben uns wie zu Hause gefühlt und Paula hat super geschlafen. Ein Babybett mit höhenverstellbaren Seiten, sodass man quasi ein Familienbett hat, einen Brei-Zubereiter, Mixer, Spielzeug, extra Decken zum Krabbeln - ganz herzlichen Dank dafür! Die Wohnung im EG liegt in einem traumhaften Garten, man kann direkt aufs Meer sehen. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt!

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.
