Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Island of Ortigia

We loved this beautiful apartment, large bedroom and bathroom with great wooden ceilings. Lots of character with beautiful fixtures and fittings. Very comfortable bed. Great powerful and hot shower. Lots of lovely toiletries available to use together with some food and drinks supplied. Such a lovely touch to our stay. Shared balcony was great to sit on and have breakfast and drinks later on. Situated in a fabulous spot in Ortigia, right in the heart of everything, lots of bars and restaurants yet very quiet apartment. Host responds quickly to any questions.

A good place for 3 people to sleep. Centrally located and quiet. We felt right at home

Wow — this place was absolutely incredible! The photos truly don’t do it justice. The views were breathtaking, the location was unbeatable, and everything about our stay exceeded expectations. The service and accommodations were spot on — very helpful, very friendly, and made us feel right at home. Everything you need is within walking distance, and you’re in the ocean within 60 seconds. We’re already dreaming about coming back, hopefully for a full month next time. Thank you so much for the amazing hospitality! Highly recommend.

Brilliant apartment and definitely the best value for money for the places we stayed in Sicily. The apartment is great fun with loads of funny and quirky decorations everywhere you look. Luigi is very responsive, flexible and a great host, he did he upmost to ensure when we arrived we were welcomed despite our late arrival and made sure we were comfortable during our stay with recommendations and wine on arrival. Great host and the location is nice and quiet, only a 2 minute walk from busier areas and a 15 minute walk (max) into the nicer areas of the city. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Great place close to Ortigia, walkable. Apartment was as described, the only thing to mention is there was construction outside the apartment, however little to no noise, very few workers. Didn’t interfere in enjoying our stay. Would recommend!

This apartment is charming, elegant and well equipped. The kitchen is great and we had fun cooking the wonderful food from the market. The position is perfect. Close to the market, the ocean and wonderful cafes and restaurants.

I dearly love Marco’s home which checks every box. Location is great! It’s like 3-minute walking to Train, Bus and Local Bus station which connect me to Noto, Modica and Fontane Bianche in sweat-free matter. Plus, there are multiple eatery options nearby like Onda Blue (love its Fasolari soooo much), Il Matto (affordable yummiest Pizza) and Fuori Ortigia (pretty good Calamari) and La dogana (sublime Carbonara). The house is clean and surprisingly silent from the noise I was worried upon staying in the house though it’s very near a transportation hub of the city. Air conditioner works well and so does shower. Most importantly, Marco himself is such a nice host. I do recommend his nice place.

Book with your eyes closed 👍We just spent 3 nights from 16 to 19 /10/2024, in Casa di Mauro , which totally matches the photos and descriptions. Ideally located near the temple of Apollo , we were quiet in this charming ultra clean, functional accommodation, equipped with everything that makes a place comfortable and above all tastefully decorated. The bedding is ultra comfortable . In addition , we enjoyed the warm welcome from our host, Maria . Thank you for his listening, his pro activity, his responsiveness and all his attention that brings the little more magical in the rental... water bottles and toilet products. Thank you also for his good tips and for the great places for lunch and dinner. All the ingredients were there to fully enjoy our stay in Syracuse in the heart of Ortigia and we felt in the accommodation very comfortable as home.…the experience delighted us and we will come back .

We had a wonderful stay at Marta's place. The property is located in a very convenient area situated close to both the seaside (the closest beach is literally few seconds away) and the heart of Ortigia. Nice bars and restaurants nearby. Marta is extremely friendly and responsive, she gave us lots of advice and local recommendations. Her father came to collect us at the bus station after we arrived with the last bus from Catania. Very nice and welcoming from them. The apartment is as described in the pictures. The bathroom is large and the kitchen is well equipped for people who want to cook there. The bed is very comfortable. We had a wonderful stay and we hope we can come back!

The apartment is huge and in a great central location. We walked everywhere. It's surrounded by fab bars and restaurants. The view from the small balconies is beautiful and we loved seeing the sea through the sitting room windows when we came in the front door. As someone else mentioned, there has obviously been a water leak at some point which could do with sorting and a couple of other areas could do with some tlc. Overall, we loved the apartment and would definitely stay here again.

What a fabulous location for exploring Ortigia, we loved the apartment and definitely recommend! Very spacious, well equipped property with everything needed (including air conditioning units in each room, shutters on each window, washing machine and drying racks both inside and out, plenty of towels, comfy beds etc). We mainly walked everywhere from the apartment, choosing not to hire a car, although parking is available. Easy check in met by the host at an agreed time. Huge list of eatery recommendations shared by the hosts which we enjoyed a few of (including superb gelateria!). The local market with super selection of fruit, veg, cheese etc was just a couple of minutes walk away, ultra convenient! We also took a boat trip from a provider that we could see from the apartment.

My husband and I spent two weeks here, and we absolutely LOVED it! The location is fantastic, located on a quiet street just steps away from the main sites, restaurants, shops, and beach. Elisa was responsive with a hot water issue for the shower, and had a plumber offer a solution for the warm temperature to last longer. We would stay here again in a heartbeat, and cannot recommend this place enough!

We had some very lovely days at Maria's place. The location of the home is central and especially the two balconies are a big plus. There is a lot of noise and smells of barbecue, fish, etc. from the market just below the apartment, but it's part of the charm. Maria is a very attentive and welcoming host. We'd love to come back.

Great location! Easy walk to Ortigia, which is absolutely gorgeous area all around! Airbnb apartment is beautiful and spacious. Regardless of its central location, we have not had much of any street noise and the nights were quiet. Highly recommend this place!

We had a lovely stay in Ortigia. The apartment was beautiful and had some lovely touches like the tote bag for swimming togs, which we greatly appreciated. The location was perfect with lots of restaurant options. Thoroughly enjoyed our time there.

Great neighborhood very close to restaurants and the sea 😉

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!

Amazing stay! Great location, just steps from the old town of Ortigia and close to everything. The authentic, beautiful building with a sea view was a real highlight. The place was very clean, cozy, and felt just like home. The host was incredibly kind and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Highly recommended for a relaxing getaway!

Good location exactly between Neapolis and Ortigia, with many amenities around. Nice host who immediately gives a tour. For two people a nice (quiet) bedroom, with three or four you can hear what is happening on the street when you sleep on the sofa bed in the living room.

Amazing air BnB - awesome roof terrace!

Apartment in the heart of Ortigia but off the beaten path, excellent location and communication always at the top. Quiet and cozy apartment. The small bar of "Irma la dolce" below the house is an extra point.

great apartment and being away for several weeks with a bit of luggage, appreciated the ground floor well appointed, comfortable and clean. Christiana was extremely responsive as well

Alberto was a great host, very friendly and gave us heaps of great restaurant recommendations, from popular to hidden. It was also just a short walk from the main areas which made for a nice walk. We were able to do some washing, and there were lots of bathroom amenities.

Marco was friendly and an excellent host and very fast in responding for our questions. He had some excellent restaurant recommendations in Ortigia and Syracuse. The apartment was very clean & tidy and had everything you might need. Great location to walk into Ortigia too or explore great local restaurants. Highly recommend
