Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Island of Ortigia

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

We stayed with our three little kids in the flat. The flat is spacious and well located to discover Ortigia on foot. The balcony and rooftop terrace are huge and great to hang out. We enjoyed our stay and would greatly come back.

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!

We had a great stay at Valentina's place in Plemmirio. Beautiful surroundings and a very cosy home with a spacious terrace in the sun. Valentina was very responsive and helpful!

This compact, self-contained place was comfortable and cool. Gabriella was charming and helpful. Enjoyable stay!

A little gem in the middle of Ortigia. Very lovingly and artsy furnished. We particularly liked the green bedroom with the balcony. We really enjoyed the beautiful terrace in the middle of the rooftops of Ortigia and ate there as often as possible and enjoyed the atmosphere. A stone's throw away is the market where we were able to stock up on fresh fruits/vegetables in the morning. Everything is easily accessible on foot and it's fun to get lost in the many winding alleys. We had a wonderful time here as a family! Thanks Ginevra and Alberto, (both very likable and friendly!) If we are in Syracuse again, we will be happy to come back!

Lovely spacious flat. Perfect for a big family or, like in our case, for 2 families. Cristian was very responsive and accommodating; especially considering the very short notice. The flat was extremely clean, spacious and with all guests could possibly need. The local is out of Ortigia but perfectly walkable. I'd definitely stay there again and I have no problem recommending it. Perhaps it was a bit expensive for the time of year but again it was a last minute booking.

Overall, a great experience. I would say our biggest challenge was in Parking, but that is to be expected when staying in any of the Italian old towns. Fortunately, the parking garage we used was only a seven minute walk away. The apartment is very nice and has most amenities. We didn’t have a problem briefly with hot water, but that was quickly resolved. The apartment is located on the first floor on the main street so it can be rather noisy until 11 or 12 o’clock at night, but that seem to be worth the trade-off of the convenience of walking right outside and down to the beach. Overall great experience

Salvatore is a reliable host. He was flexible when we needed an extra night due to changes in flight schedules and he offered us the possibility to store our baggage in the apartment for a few hours after check-out. We spent a lovely 10 days in Syracuse and enjoyed the views form the balcony.

Very nice place! Walkable distance to the center :)

Our stay in Siracusa was amazing thanks to Cesare’s apartment! Very comfortable. Each room is en-suite with a full bathroom. Kitchen has everything you need for basic cooking. Cesare was very helpful and responsive and gave us excellent local recommendations of food and activities. And I had some questions on accessibility months before the stay and he was very kind to send vídeos and pictures of the apartment.Thank you!! Totally recommend

What can I say, what an amazing find in Ortigia. On a beautiful historic street close to the cathedral and historic monument but also moments from the sea. The apartment is beautiful, with clean parquet wooden floors throughout and everything feels like it has been recently renovated. It has a great kitchen with a hob, large fridge and dishwasher. The bedroom is glorious, spacious with a really comfortable bed. And the bathroom has a lovely walk in shower. The living room has a really comfy sofa and a large flat screen tv. It’s really tastefully decorated. There’s a small, but perfectly formed terrace with comfy seating. The hosts kindly left us some snacks, water and coffee, which we appreciated. And most importantly, Salvatore was really helpful in finding parking for our car, just around the corner from the apartment, which was a massive help. Salvatore was very responsive to any questions we had. And we’d definitely recommend this apartment to our friends.

We loved Marikla's place. It was only ten minutes to Ortigia and there was plenty of parking, and right across from a grocery store. There was a beautiful bike path with stunning views of the sea. Three bedrooms were perfect for us and the kitchen had everything we needed. It was also great to have two full bathrooms!

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 .

Daniele is super friendly and calm, always replied quickly and gave a lot of nice little tips via chat each morning. He even surprised us with a bowl of homemade olives :) The room with the balcony towards the ocean is amazing! It's a little bit makeshift, but very cozy, clean and with many cute details. The balcony itself had the greatest views I've every experienced! Overall a perfect stay! I would've given 6/5 if possible.

Fabio is a very helpful and kind person!

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!

Marcella is a warm and responsive host. She allowed us to check in very early and her place was clean and comfortable with a lovely view.

Great stay at Robin's. The accommodation is very nice, right across the street from the sea. A great place to rest. Robin is a great host! Very friendly, he makes you feel at home.

Giulia was an excellent host. She reacted very flexibly to our earlier arrival. The apartment is really super, exactly as described. Very large and quite central. We were more than satisfied. The only problem can be the parking lot, like almost everywhere in Sicily. A small car is helpful.

Lovely, central location & Francesco had some excellent recommendations during our trip!

Clean house in a great location. The guys who manage the property are very kind and helpful

We loved our stay at Maria Theresa’s place! The apartment was lovely, and Maria Theresa was very kind and responsive throughout our stay. The only small drawback was the restaurant just below the apartment, which made it a bit noisy until around midnight. Otherwise, everything was great and we really enjoyed our time there!

This place is incredibly beautiful and thoughtfully designed. The furniture was comfortable and everything we needed was available. That Lavazza coffee maker was excellent - I wanted one for home but they aren’t available in the US. The patio spaces had a great view, and we spent so much time there. Ortigia is possibly the most charming place I’ve ever been, and the apartment matched the island’s charm. Be aware of the steps up to the place. It’s a steep climb, but it’s absolutely worth it.
