Waterfront vacation rentals in San Lorenzo

The pictures can’t do the huge, beautiful terrasse justice enough - it’s simply the most amazing view of Noto and Domenico was so kind and picked me up from the bus stop and drove me right to the apartment. Can’t recommend highly enough.

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.

Apartment located right in the center of Ortigia convenient to all amenities(supermarkets, shops, etc.) suitable for children looking for movement(Ortigia is full of locals) and for families to take even in the evening a nice walk in the center (which is worth it.) The apartment is spacious and we found it clean and well equipped in terms of towels,sheets, etc. Nothing is missing. I did not get to know Carmelo but you are greeted directly by the host where I found Lucia, they are two people available for any problem, kind, always available ready to offer you the best service. And if you need advice on what to visit, where to go to the sea or anything Lucia will know how to help you. That said, I don't go too far, but if I had to go back to Sicily I would choose them so I recommend them 100%. I forgot the apartment has a beautiful cool terrace where you can enjoy a beautiful view.

We stayed here for five days and had a superb time. The apartment is in a great location, very close to the beach and lots of restaurants. It had very good air conditioning and good self catering facilities as well. We would definitely return!

We were thrilled to have spent a few days at Alessandra’s place. It’s proven to be a great idea to opt w Ortigia to within Syracuse, lots to see, walkable, amazing architecture, mini beaches around. This specific house has been great as it’s east facing that seemed a bit more quiet side of Ortigia, through the windows you overlook the sea and a cute square. We enjoyed just taking short coffee breaks across the street by the water. 🌊 The space is perfect for 2 ppl equipped w all we needed even for eating in and cooking some basic things. Coming by car, accessing the island and parking needs some attention, but nothing you couldn’t fix and Alessandra has been a great helping hand here w hints.

Our hosts went above and beyond throughout our whole stay. They were always on hand to offer suggestions or help us out if needed. Waking up to that view of the coast was incredible. We will miss this most! The location was excellent, with amazing restaurants in Marzamemi, and a beautiful sandy coastline. We will definitely return!

Our experience at Alessandra was really impeccable. The house was clean and identical to the photos provided by our host. There is no air conditioning, but the house is still cool and ventilated thanks to the blades located in the rooms and the sea and the living room that are really functional. The view from the terrace is priceless, there are loungers and the outdoor table to fully enjoy the amazing view of the sea and Etna. The location is perfect, in 45-60 minutes you can get to the most interesting places; the car can be parked in the private space in front of the house. Alessandra was always helpful and courteous to the point of finding us a little expense. If I had to find a negative aspect, it would be the access to the sea below the house, not very accessible and only on stone platforms where the water is immediately very high, but with a few kilometers you can reach the neighboring beaches... We brought home a beautiful memory of Alessandra's days.

Our early April 2025 10-day stay was great! The property was exactly as shown on the listing site. An updated, well maintained, very clean, bright, lovely place in an absolutely beautiful setting. It was an easy walk to activities, sites and restaurants in both Siracusa and Ortigia. The host was helpful and responsive. It's one of the nicest places we've stayed in 20+ years of international travel. We highly recommend it to others.

This place is a hidden gem! It is in front of the beautiful sea. The outdoor area is so well equipped. Our young children loved it here (2,4 and 10 years old). The pool was also a nice feature and larger than on photo. The house itself was very clean and spotless. Everything and more you want is in the house. It felt very laid back and spacious. The bedrooms were also large and spacious. Enough closet space in every room, and the beds were awesome! Also, so so nice to have: every room had an outside space area, and the two master bedrooms were superb, the ocean view is unbeatable every moment of the day. The terrace on the topfloor was sublime and such a nice chill area with the outdoor furniture. The restaurants in the area: deliciously good. We went to the restaurant right across the street, and in the marina and in the square of the city centre. Also the best icecream of all villages and cities we visited was definitely Don Peppinu in this village Marina di Ragusa. Highly recommend!

Vincenzo and his wife were extremely kind and helpful throughout the entire stay. They welcomed me as a friend and took good care of their Airbnb. The home has a modern amenities and plenty of space to park a car. The area around Gallina has a lot of swimming options and the house is a few minutes to the highway if you want to go north to Catania or Siracusa or south to Modica and Scicli.

Great view and perfect place to stay for adventures on the island. It’s cosy and has all the facilities you need. Recommendation!

Walter was great! He was super communicative and helpful, getting me whatever I needed whenever I asked. He was also super welcoming, hosting me for dinner on my second night. I extended my stay by two nights because I enjoyed my stay so much. If I ever come back to Avola, I would stay here again.

Amazing! We had a wonderful stay, the house was absolutely clean and perfectly equiped from beach chairs to outdoor shower. The beach is right next to the house with beautiful sunsets. Francesca was very welcoming with wine and cake, she was very thoughtful and helpful, one of the best hosts we ever had. Thank you!

we had a few trouble finding the place but no drama. The property is located in a small settlement and is accordingly quiet. For restaurants and supermarket you need the car. a small free beach is within walking distance and was nice and quite clean and offers to collect many mussels. will be happy to come back

We had a good time in the house, easy beach access. The last 100m to the house is a dirt road and you need to be careful driving at night.

We spent three nights at Paolo’s place, We highly recommend it, Communication was great, the house is very clean, freshly painted, it has all you need to stay comfortably. Paolo is an exceptional host, he greeted us in person and came again upon our departure. He was very helpful with giving us suggestions about places to visit and eat. Wishing you all the best Paolo, we’ll keep your contact for a future visit!

Spacious 2 floor apartment in a great location, everywhere is walkable and it is lovely to be on the balcony looking out across the square. The apartment was very well equipped and the bedroom is huge with a comfy bed. Bathroom is small but has everything you need. The people managing the apartment also helped me to book a fab boat trip and were very responsive and helpful. Thanks for a fab stay.

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.

Cosy apartment directly at the waterfront, with lots of bars and restaurants in the vicinity. Alberto is a very friendly and responsive host.

Miriam and her mom waited for us on the street as we arrived, then welcomed us into the apartment they called "home." And indeed, it felt like a true home—beautifully decorated, comfortable, and fully equipped for guests, down to a sewing kit with various threads. On the dining table, there was a bottle of wine, and a pack of handmade Italian cookies. The fridge was stocked with juice, beer, milk, and water, and they had provided a variety of teas, both regular and decaf espressos. The location was perfect, in an ancient building near attractions. The stunning blue sea was just steps away, where we could sit at a relaxed restaurant table and watch the mesmerizing sunset. Miriam took my husband to park our rental car and brought him back. When we checked out, her father did the same. She sent us plenty of information about everything, her meticulous care surprised us again and again. In fact, her entire family shares the same warmth and care—they are all incredibly kind and attentive.

The place is beautifully set up with some points of interest very attentive and a pleasant stay The house has heating, just when using electricity, you can only use one stove in the kitchen

Great location in Ortega. Patio is large with seats and table. Limited common space for hanging out inside. Host was very responsive and gave lots of recommendations for things to do and see. Would recommend.

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!
