Terrazza sul mare attico "Alfeo e Aretusa"

Upon arrival the owner met us at the door and took us to the apartment to show us around. We were self catering and there was everything that we needed. The apartment was spotless, we loved the large balcony overlooking the sea, the view was amazing and we sat out there every night before and after going out for dinner. The owners were lovely and gave us advice for the best places to go for dinner etc.

There were a lot of stairs leading up to the apartment as it is in the attic. The view is definitely worth the climb but not suitable for someone with mobility issues.

The setting. The unit had an unbeatable view from the large balcony overlooking the water. Our host, Mossimo was helpful and a joy to be around.

Nothing (except the 4 flights of stairs and then a spiral staircase, too)! But it’s worth it.

We loved the seaside and sea view apartment. It was very comfortable and furnished with unique artwork. The location is perfect to stroll and enjoy the sea. Our hosts are amazing and treated us like family. Grazie Mille ❤️

The size and view of the private terrace was a wonderful surprise! Unbeatable views. Great atmosphere, host super nice despite some language barrier which only added to the experience.

Definitely avoid if you have some mobility issues. I recommend to travel lightly. There are lots of stairs to reach this apartment which is perched under the roof, but be assured it’s absolutely worth it.

The location and the view cannot be beaten! This is the sea and sunset view people pay to go on boat trips to witness every night. The terrace is so huge it's basically another room. The apartment itself is decorated charmingly and was spotlessly clean. The owner was very helpful and present whenever needed. Surely one of the most magical and special places to stay in Ortigia.

The price you pay for that view is a long climb of over 70 steps, no lift. So just be aware if you have mobility issues. It's also much more like a traditional Airbnb or b&b where you are living in an annex of a private home whose residents are there. We love this sort of thing but if you are used to impersonal rentals or hotels, it might be a surprise.

Gorgeous artsy apartment with stunning view from roof terrace over the waterfront. Extremely glad we followed the recommendations from previous reviews. Ideal location to walk to sights. Wish we could have only stayed longer.

Beautiful views and well appointed apartment in a great location Attention of the owner

Be aware it's 76 steps up Also it's directly above owners apartment with a shared entrance ( though apartment then has its own lockable entrance so it is secure)

Excellent property in a good location, comfortable bed, and a wonderful terrace with fantastic views. The owner was very friendly and helpful, it was a pleasure to stay there and I would highly recommend.

As this is self catering, the property would benefit from a toaster and a kettle, and a fish slice for cooking. As a note the property is advertised as having 2 beds but there is only 1.

I liked the location and the roof terrace.

The drainage of the shower was quite stinky that we could smell it from bedroom. There was no coffee/tea in the room. There was very loud music from the neighborhood bar untill midnight both nights that i was there.

Amazing hosts and the terrace is stunning!
