• Bartłomiej (10/5): Bardzo dobra lokalizacja za rozsądna cenę - Wszystko było w porządku mieszkanie przestronne czyste, duża łazienka. Mimo że mieszkanie nie na Ortygii bardzo blisko do wyspy Ortygia a parking za darmo
• Dalibor (10/5): Nice, sweet, charming - Location is great - near old town (10minutes), near the sea (1min) near to store... Very clean, building is old like most of them on Sicily but apartment is very nice. Host Salvatore is also great and pleasent person.
• Andrijana (10/5): A great place to stay - The apartment was spacious and comfortable, it had everything we needed. Salvatore was a great host, we organized everything quickly and easily, and I could always get in touch with him.
• Estelle (10/5): - L'accueil plus que chaleureux de Mr Salvatore, toujours très réactif et disponible. L'appartement est propre, soigné, très bien équipé et super bien situé. Rien
• Franco (9/5): Super! - Salvatore war ein super Gastgeber!!! Unkompliziert und sehr hilfsbereit. Wir sind sehr spät angekommen und er hat trotzdem auf uns gewartet. Er hat uns alles gezeigt und erklärt. Als Willkommensgeschenk haben wir Wasser, Wein und typisches Gebäck bekommen.
• Philip (10/5): - Really good to be among local people when traveling. A very friendly and accommodating host, well set up and spacious apartment. Very comfortable for a 6 night stay
• patricia (10/5): Great stay in a lovely apartment within easy walk of Ortigia. - The apartment was very nicely done out with lots of nice touches to make it feel like home. Everything we needed was there, even a washing machine. Nothing

• Kirsty (10/5): Everything you need for your stay! - Salvatore’s apartment is perfect! Quiet and comfortable & just a 10-15 minute walk from Ortigia. He provided coffee and welcomed us with wine and sweet treats. Parking is free! Everything works!
• Deanne (10/5): Exceptional - Everything!! The Apartment had all of the amenities anyone could ask for. Every detail was considered. The apartment is very spacious. The location is awesome with a short ten minute walk to Ortigia. Salvatore is very sweet. He picked me up snd dropped me off at the train/bus stations. The kitchen is well stocked. The bottle of wine and treats were a very nice surprise. Highly recommend this apartment.
• Katarzyna (10/5): Clean and comfortable apartment with free parking and a wonderful host - A spacious and well-equipped apartment with a balcony that has a view of the sea. Easy walk to Ortigia. Free and easy to find parking just below the building. Apartment was very clean and the kitchen has everything for making your own meals. The wine and local sweets were a very nice touch! Above all, the owner Salvatore was very pleasant and responsive to our questions. Definitely a great choice if you arrive by car, as you don't need to worry about the ZTL zones or pedestrian only streets.
• Ben (10/5): Exceptional -
• Philip (10/5): Exceptional -
• Kornel (10/5): perfect apartment for a family stay - everything nothing
• Lucy (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jan (10/5): Exceptional - Nice place. About 10-15 minutes walk from Ortigia, where you will find many places with delicious food for breakfast, lunch or dinner. There is no problem with free parking near the apartment, so a great place if you have a car. Salvatore (the host) is very friendly and helpful. Basic English, but in the age of translators, it's not a problem :). There is nothing missing in the apartment, both for short and long stays. You can see the sea from the balcony. Until about 1 a.m. you can buy warm food in front of the apartment (panini, etc.). In terms of stairs - it is the 2nd floor (to understand - ground floor, 1st floor, 2nd floor - so not too many stairs :). I recommend!
• Patrick (9/5): Great choice for a few days in Syracuse - A well equipped, clean and comfortable apartment with a friendly host. Walking distance to the centre of town and free parking right outside. It wasn't a problem for us although we are old but the stairs might be a problem for those less mobile..
• Christopher (9/5): Lovely apartment, good location and free parking. - Lovely apartment where the host has provided for all needs. Comfortable, clean accommodation, nice decor. Free parking in front of building. Good access to sights in Syracuse and Ortega. Plenty of restaurants nearby to suit all budgets. Very much enjoyed our stay. Beware, apartment up three flights of stairs, no lift.
• Nataliya (10/5): Beautiful, comfi and close to Ortigia - 7-8 min was to Ortega, if that. Spacious, beautiful, high ceilings, lots of pillows and blankets. There is everything in this place even for a 2-week stay. Salvatore left a bottle of wine and some sweets. Terrace overlooking the sea, place is very close to the marina. Spotless, coffee, tea, bottle of water, everything was perfect. Very, very good price indeed, great value. WiFi is superb. Parking is free and plenty just in front. Every night there was a truck with food in front of the property. €5 for a huge sub with meat and everything - open until like 12am. Very easy to leave Siracusa from there, as well. Do not hesitate, you will be happy. Nothing.
• Simeon (10/5): Exceptional - Salvatore is probably one of the best owners that I have ever met! The property is enough for two or three people and is in quite comfortable place in the city. Highly recommended
• Tatiana (10/5): Comfortable, central, good value for money - Location, free parking, responsive host, well appointed, has all essentials, very clean. Free bottle of wine and bottled water. Warm. Highly recommended Just a little comment. We were three adults. In winter hot water in the shower is sufficient for 2 guests. The third person has to wait a bit till the water heats up.
• David (10/5): Perfect in every way - Big clean apartment right in middle of town so easy walks to Ortigia Island, archeology museum or bus station. Friendly owner who picked us up from train station and drove us to house to show us everything Top floor so no noise from people moving around above you Can glimpse views of the ocean from the balcony
• Janina (10/5): Exceptional - Fully equipped flat, everything you can need. Very friendly host.
• Marcin (10/5): Excellent - Best host.
• Victor (10/5): Exceptional - Great host and apartment!
• Lynn (10/5): Exceptional - Salvatore’s apartment was one of the best we’ve ever stayed in! it was immaculate, beautiful decor, everything you require in the kitchen, bathroom and for laundry. a little patio off the bedroom for aperitif with sea views. A complimentary bottle of local wine and some delicious cookies. I highly recommend this apartment for your stay in Syracuse. Local eateries close by, Coop a few hundred meters away. Grazie mille Salvatore - I give you 10 stars ⭐️ and thank you for the transport from the train station xxx
• Bunn (8/5): Very good - Host was super friendly and wholesome! Gave great recommendations and offered a really warm welcome! Location is just out of the old town (maybe a 15 minute walk?), there's a water refill station right outside as well as a little food truck! Got a great recommendation for a sandwich place from the host and a lovely welcome to Siracusa. Washing machine available and I was able to work from the apartment pretty happily while I was there
• Gilles (10/5): Exceptional -
• Cindy (10/5): Clean and very spacious apartment - perfect apartment for us as a couple, 10 minutes by walk from the old town entrance, very spacious with great bathroom. Everythinf what we needed!
• Karishmah (10/5): Perfect! 😀 - Very clean, spacious apartment that had everything we needed. Good value for money. the host, Salvatore, is an excellent host - very helpful, attentive and responsive.
• Klaudia (10/5): Exceptional - It is a great place for some days in Siracusa! It is a walking distance both to Ortigia and archeological part of the city. It has a free parking just in front of the house and drinkable water place outside as well (the water from the tap in entire Sicilia is not the best in taste, but here will staying you can enjoy a great quality water, for a very low price). The balcony is overlooking to the ocean and street, but it is quite. The place is superclean, with everything you may need during your stay. There are groceries around and the entire neighbourhood is very authentic. And if course, Salvatore, is a hospitable, open and a very nice host! That our stay was so short!;)
• Irinka (10/5): Excellent - Very comfortable, clean and cozy apartment in the historical place of the city. Comfortable beds , tea, cofee at the kitchen, all the tableware included, everything is very clean and you feel like home, not in the usual rented apartment. Salvatore met us with a bottle of good red wine😊 Good internet, shampoo, soaps of a good quality in the bathroom, plenty of towels. Nothing to complain
• Marzycielkay (9/5): Great stay, I fully recommend! - The apartment was very nice, comfortable, very clean and well located. Everything that was needed was present. The balcony was pleasant with the possibility to take breakfast under the sun with a view over the sea. Salvatore is an amazing person, he was very nice and available during the stay. He gave us suggestions of places to see, indications on the area, wine and Sicilian specialities as welcome present, and even saved us when we had an issue in the evening (purse forgotten in a store). I totally recommend his "oikos"!! :) A really minor detail, the shower head was leaking a bit, but nothing serious that required an immediate change.
• John (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful apartment. High quality fixtures and well designed. Beautiful kitchen and bathroom. Watched sunrise over the ocean from the balcony. Host treated me as a guest in his home. Very accommodating. Complimentary bottle of wine and biscotti.
• Jm (10/5): Quality appartment - Spacious .. Tidy en felt new. small but nice balcony . hot in the moring.. Nice kitchen . Host picked us up from trainstation Close to small beach. And center Welcome gifts much appriciated Nothing A electrical water heater would be nice instead of a kettle
• Aimée (10/5): Good value for money + host very helpful + location ideal to scroll around Syracuse - Our host was very helpful, flexible, and kind.
