La Casa Delle Fate

The apartment was absolutely fantastic, it felt like staying in the home of a friend. Beautifully renovated keeping the original features and style but with everything we needed and more for our 17 night stay. The courtyard garden is stunning and very peaceful. Our host, Luca, was amazing, and was always on hand if we needed anything or just to meet for an ice cream! He was so friendly and made us feel perfectly at home. Luca provided us with a wealth of information about Ortigia and beyond in Scicily. The location is absolutely perfect for a stay in Ortigia. We will definitely be returning to this beautiful apartment and fabulous Ortigia and look forward to seeing Luca again very much.

There is nothing at all that we didn't like.

We loved pretty much everything about this property, from the location to the birdsong.

Maybe the bug bites, but that can hardly be helped.

Location was great, just a few steps from the beach and the coastal promenade. Luca was a super friendly and welcoming host. Apartment was very comfortable and met all our needs.

Luca was amazing and greeted us upon arrival, advising my partner about the parking situation which was extremely useful, Luca showed us to the apartment and gave us a tour once inside the room, he also showed us one of the other rooms which was currently empty as i had seen it online and it looked lovely. Luca made our stay much better than we could have anticipated he was extremely knowledgeable and kind throughout the entire stay. if and when we had any questions he was always quick to answer and if he didn't know he would always find out and get back to us. A super nice touch was that he left an information booklet in the room for us to use and look through if we wanted with information about restaurants that previous guests have liked as well as himself and what to see around the town. the room was absolutely lovely and felt extremely homely the bed was also extremely comfortable.

Luca is the best host I have ever had during my trips. Very honest, polite, helpful and communicative. Apartment is very cozy, with almost home vibes, cute simplicity over excessive fanciness! Althought for a very tall people corrdiors maybe slightly narrow, Luca informed about the detailed layout of the apartment before the reservation became confirmed, so no one should be surprised. Location is perfect in the very heart of Ortigia, as the same time in a very quite neighborhood. Everything was simply perfect!

That my stay was too short ;)

Great location, great appartment, and great host. The appartment and the nice balcony really elevated our stay. When visiting Siracusa, we would really recommend to stay here, in the Ortigia part of town. The appartment had a very good atmosphere and had all the facilities we needed (plus more). The bed was comfortable and the kitchen and bath rooms were clean and functional. We were even provided with towels that we could bring to the beach (there was a small beach very close to the appartment also). The host, Luca, was very attentive and provided us with many valuable recommendations for places to eat, places to visit, things to do etc., of which we made use of throughout our stay. We would definitively book this housing again if we go back to Siracusa.

Luca was a fabulous host helping us to settle in and even watch our favourite football team in the apartment. The location is perfect, minutes from dozens of restaurants, waterside and world heritage sites.

We were very pleased with the Casa delle Fate (the owner let us view the other apartments as I was curious) and we definitely chose the best for our needs - flat 1). The 4-room apartment was spacious and quiet, comfortable, well-decorated, charming and cute. The host, Luca, had left ample coffee for us, as well as a welcome cake and bottle of wine. As we were in a narrow side-street towards the bottom of Ortigia, our apartment was quiet and we were never disturbed by outside noise. We had a private inner patio, which was relaxing and well-furnished, and Luca had left us a folder with useful local information and maps. We arrived late on a Sunday evening but he still came out to meet us, waiving the extra cost, and would have allowed us to stay longer on check-out day except we had an early flight. He looked after us well and was keen to hear afterwards about any problems or anything he could have done to make the stay better. The apartment was also well situated in terms of restaurants and sights. We would strongly recommend this place to all travellers who are looking for a guaranteed good stay and a lovely apartment with a host who is keen to go the extra mile to look after guests.

We liked everything! The apartment was quite expensive but was I expect it was comparable with others in the area and was a very nice apartment. The two things all travellers need is (a) a comfy bed, and (b) a good night's sleep with no noise disturbance, and we were lucky on both counts.
