La Casa Delle Fate

Very nice apartment, with a cozy vibe. The highlight of the trip was the host who was extremely helpful and gave us a ton of very useful hints of places to visit and restaurants to check out. It made the trip a lot more enjoyable.

Luca was the most wonderful host ever! He helped us arrange for parking in a near by garage, sent us directions (as it is very tricky driving in Ortigia) and greeted us with a bottle of wine and homemade desert. He shared maps and guidance on all there is to see and do in Sicily. Our apartment had a little balcony with a view of the sea and was perfectly located from Cala Rossa beach, where we swam and soaked in the sun daily. This trip was a dream because of La Casa Delle Fate and Luca!

Nothing

The host, Luca, was extremely helpful and made everything easy for us. The location was excellent and the apartment had everything we needed. Sitting on the balcony looking along the street to the sea was very pleasant.

It was not the most comfortable bed. And it’s on a fairly busy street with noise from the restaurants below.

The host (Luca) was incredibly friendly and helpful. He gave us loads of recommendations for things to do and restaurants, and everything we tried that he recommended was very good. We also only brought European adapters, not realising they have different plugs in Italy, and Luca went out of his way to find us an adapter. He even took time out of his day to help us unload our luggage and park our car in the nearby new town. The apartment was very spacious and had everything we needed. The internet was very good (55Mbps). The location is amazing, in the heart of the old town, above restaurants and bars, and a 2 minute walk to a beach.

The flat was occasionally a bit loud at night, but we still managed to get good sleep. The worst part of our trip was the parking. There are car parks in the old town that cost €15 and €20, and finding on street parking in the new town was a nightmare, especially in the evenings and weekends.

The communication with owner was informative, helpful and Luca took care that we were kept up to date at all times from booking to leaving the apartment. He cared that our overall experience would be just right. The apartment was on ground floor of a converted house with other apartments on upper floors. Everything on one level ideal for us as we have some mobility issues. A large sitting room with seating, tables, cupboards and TV. it was very comfortable.. The kitchen had everything from kettle and kitchen wear to dishwasher and large fridge freezer. Table to eat at there was also a supply of cleaning product. There were doors leading to the patio area where garden furniture, sun lounges and other seating. The garden had a lemon, orange and pomegranate trees with also a grapevine. All with fruit but not ready to eat. This was a lovely place to sit and relax. We used it a lot because it had sun and shade through the day. The bedroom had a very comfortable bed, clothes hanging space and drawers. The bathroom had modern fittings and everything you needed from soap to towels. in a separate part of the building was a room for washing and drying clothes. this was available for apartment user and was an excellent addition to refresh clothes if like use we had been travelling for few days. The garden apartment was decorated in a lovely traditional was, just like you may think your grandmother would live and it made us feel so at home. After a day of walking and sight seeing, the apartment was a welcome to come home to. I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone. Particularly for anyone with mobility issues although some lower steps access is good, the older person for the comfort homelt feeling. Anyone with a child because of the garden/patio. Although the G7 agricultural expo was on all around Ortigia and it was very busy time to visit, there was hardly any noise heard.

Beautiful apartment in the centre of Ortigia equipped with everything we needed. Perfect loaction; the nearest beach is 2 minutes away! Excellent restaurants and café's nearby. Luca, our host, was absolutely fantastic. He went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful stay. He gave us lots of information about the history of Syracuse, intersting places to visit and excellent recommendations for local cuisine. We couldn't have asked for a better host. We would definitely stay here again if we were to return to Ortigia.

There was not much, if anything, not to love about this place. It is in superb location on the beautiful island of Ortigia, close to all of the main attractions, swimming spots and nice bars and restaurants. The apartment was well equipped with everything we could need and was immaculately clean. The roof terrace is a huge bonus to an already great property - it was a perfect spot for some dinner in the beautiful evening light, or for coffee in the morning. Luca, our host, was absolutely fantastic - so friendly and he provided us with loads of really useful information about Syracuse and the surrounding area, that really added to our trip. On arrival, he even provided us with a bottle of wine and a homemade pie, made by his mother. Luca's communication in the lead up to and during our stay was fantastic - he was prompt to respond to any questions we had and ensured our check-in and check-out process was as smooth as possible. We will definitely be returning!

Nothing at all, it was fantastic.

Excellent location in a lovely traditional old property which had been sympathetically modernised where appropriate. Our charming host, Luca, was very helpful and nothing was too much trouble to make our stay as pleasant as possible. He provided very comprehensive information and was readily contactable if needed.

Beautiful details, fabulous location and excellent value. Very spacious and well equipped kitchen so you can buy fresh products from market and prepare upon return. Luca is an excellent host. Nothing too much trouble and very informative.

Great apartment close to sea wall and small beach, within the old centre of Ortegia. Great base for a week's stay. Plenty of space ( lounge/kitchenette/bedroom and bathroom , comfortable and good place to relax in. Luca was a great host, very friendly and helpful.

Nothing to note. We were uncertain whether this apartment had outside space from the booking-in the event it was so hot that it did not matter!
