What a charming place
I loved my stay here. The apartment was small but oh so charming. I loved the balcony. I sat out there every night with a glass of wine and my book. The hostess was great to work with. She allowed early check-in when I arrived early and let me store my luggage when I had to check out but, my train out of Syracusa wasn't for a few hours. I would definitely stay here again if I were in that area.

Small but efficient with everything we needed in a great location
Roberta and her assistant Guilia were very helpful and I felt that they were at our disposal. The location was great but parking was quite far away but doable. The apartment was very clean and had everything we needed. I only gave it 4 stars because it was so small but the size was as advertised. It was a good value.

Fantastic apartment and perfect location
We stayed in Ortigia for 1 week and had a wonderful time. Roberta and her family were very kind and always ready to offer any help or advice during our time in her lovely apartment. The location was fantastic, right in the heart of historic Ortigia and surrounded by many small, beautiful streets perfect for exploring.
The market was a real highlight and we ate in most of the time cooking the amazing ingredients we had bought that day.
Very nice terrace to sit out on during the evening.
Perfect holiday.

Beautiful island idyll. Great shopping, restaurants and swimming from rocks.
The apartment is fantastically situated only minutes away from the sea where we swam from the rocks every day. It is very comfortable with everything you could need. The little patio for drying clothes was very convenient. Fabio (Roberta's brother) met us and very kindly sorted out the complicated parking for us. The island itself is very picturesque with lots of lovely shops, bars and restaurants. The market is good for food and we had the best sandwiches in the world at the famous sandwich man's stall - although be prepared to queue (the time goes quickly as it's like performance art!). We went during the Ortigia Film Festival which was an added bonus. Open air free films, several in English or with sub- titles. The archeology museum in Syracuse is also well worth a visit - there's tons to see. Also the Greek theatre etc. We took a day trip to Noto, which is quite small but did have the best ice cream in the world. And swam at one of the many beautiful golden beaches on the way home. We also had an excellent, reasonably priced boat trip to see the caves and swim from a the boat. All all I can thoroughly recommend Ortigia as a base and Roberta's lovely flat. We wouldn't have bothered with a car though as parking is difficult and we just walked everywhere anyway. We would definitely go back - already missing the sunbathing on the 'solarium'.

Très belle parenthèse à Syracuse
Bel appartement, et magnifique terrasse où nous avons pu prendre le petit-déjeuner en février !
Tout ce qu’il faut est là, nous avons pu profiter également des vélos, un peu vintage donc rigolos.
Le seul point négatif est l’isolation entre les appartements. Nous avons séjourné avec une famille avec de très jeunes enfants qui nous ont réveillé tôt le matin.

Top Ferienwohnung
Ein kleines aber feines Appartment mitten im Zentrum der wunderschönen Altstadt von Siracusa. Roberta ist wirklich eine Top Vermieterin, bei fragen oder hilfe steht Sie stehts zur Verfügung. Der Check - in war super einfach und ging schnell. die Wohnung war einfach zu finden und in der Umgebung befinden sich diverse Restaurants und Bars alles zu Fuß erreichbar. Das Appartment war auch sehr sauber. Die Parkplatzsituation gestaltet sich leider ein wenig schwierig da sich die Wohnung direkt in der Altstadt befindet und die umliegenden Parkplätze nur für Anwohner sind. Man erreicht aber einen großen Parkplatz 10 minuten zu Fuß von der Wohnung (gebührenpflichtig). Roberta kann aber auch ein Privatparkplatz zur verfügung stellen auch gebührenpflichtig.

Charmantes,kleines Appartement Im Herzen von Ortigia
Das ansprechende, etwas kleine Appartement befindet sich in einem geschmackvoll renovierten historischen Stadthaus. Die kleine Dach-Terrasse mit Sonnenschirm bietet Meerblick und die Räumlichkeiten sind sehr gepflegt und sauber. Alles sehr geschmackvoll.Trotz der perfekten Lage im Herzen von Ortigia war es ruhig und gemütlich für uns. Küche / Essbereich sind etwas klein, aber für 2 Personen ausreichend. Es waren ausreichend Küchenutensilien vorhanden, evtl fehlten uns kleine Teller und Kaffeelöffel. In den bequemen Betten mit wirklich guten Matratzen haben wir herrlich geschlafen.Besonders hervor heben möchten wir die Freundlichkeit und Hilfsbereitschaft von Roberta, der Vermieterin, die uns per Whatup mit Rat und Tat geholfen hat. Herzlichen Dank nochmal dafür Roberta!! Wir haben die Zeit im La Gorgone sehr genossen und kommen auf jeden Fall wieder.

Le calme au cœur de ortigia
Très bel petit appartement au calme et d’un charme absolu. Literie excellente et la vue sur la mer de la terrasse de l’appartement Medusa est extraordinaire. Accueil des propriétaires exemplaire. Propreté irréprochable. La cuisine est un peu petite pour préparer de vrais repas mais il est tellement agréable de déjeuner ou dîner dans les Nombreux endroits de ortigia. Toutes les places les rues de la ville ont un cadre enchanteur. Grazie !

Kleines Apartment in wunderschöner Altstadt
Ortigia ist eine wunderbare alte Stadt, alles ist fußläufig zu erreichen. Wir haben Ausflüge mit dem Auto nach Noto und Ragusa gemacht, auch ins Naturschutzgebiet Vendicara, alles gut zu erreichen und wunderschön. Zum Meer sind es nur ein paar Schritte und es gibt unzählige - sehr gute - Restaurants in Ortigia.
Das Apartment ist klein, aber gut ausgestattet; die Vermieterin war ausgesprochen hilfsbereit und hat auch im Vorfeld alle Fragen beantwortet.
Einziger Minuspunkt: die Aussicht von der kleinen Terrasse ist nicht so idyllisch wie auf den Fotos - man blickt auf eine Brandruine, ehe man das Meer sieht.
Ansonsten war alles ansprechend.

Ein Stadt,Kultur und Strandurlaub für die Familie
Die Unterkunft war gut für 2 Personen.Bei der Ankunft ist man die engen Gassen nicht
gewöhnt.Das Frühstück auf der Terrasse mit dem Blick aufs Meer ist schon toll.
Unsere Vermieterin hat sich um alles gekümmert und war bemüht uns den Aufenthalt
so gut es geht angenehm zu gestalten,trotz der Sprachprobleme.
