Guest Reviews

• Lindsey (8/5): Spacious modern apartment with some old world charm - Beautiful area, clean, nice sized and modern apartment that still had exposed original stonework to give it that Italian charm. Very nice modern bathroom, nice bed. Owner is nice and responsive. Overall we had a very nice stay. The worst thing was that there is an awful light sensor in the bedroom that illuminated the bedroom a bright white / blue light upon any movement, that’s high up so it really lights up the whole bedroom instead of just the floor, to help people see at night. If I even moved a little bit in my bed in the middle of the night it was enough to set it off. This light is a terrible design and placed in an awful location so it’s much more likely to give you a bad nights sleep than prevent tripping in the middle of the night. It would have been intolerable, but after the first night we discovered we could completely stop it by just putting a sock over it that blocked the sensor, so after that it wasn’t a big deal, but it would be nice if the owner would warn you so you don’t get a bad night sleep the first night. It would also be nice if there was more space to put clothes as there are no proper drawers, only a rack and a chest. Because of the way the homes are there and the small alleyways, there is very little sunlight that gets through, but I think that would be the case anywhere in Ortigia, and they have lots of lights throughout the apartment so it doesn’t look too dark.
• Annemarie (10/5): - A lovely, spacious apartment in a great location. We loved the roof terrace and appreciated the prosecco and breakfast supplies. Thank you! We were staying for 5 nights so we parked at the private parking arranged by Maria and explored by foot. Many tempting restaurants and cafes nearby. We really enjoyed our stay. Nothing to dislike
• Chris (10/5): Perfect ! - Lovely quiet location with sea views from the top terrace. Surrounded by old streets with piazzas, churches and restaurants nearby The only thing to mention is that we were on the top floor (as we asked) and the stairs would be difficult for someone elderly or with mobility problems. It kept us fit and allowed us to eat more in the restaurants!
• Bettina (10/5): -
• Min Kyoung (7/5): -
• Michaela (10/5): Fantastisch 😊 - Lage, Ausstattung, schöne große Dusche, Terrasse mit Meerblick & tollem Sonnenaufgang!
• Hanna Fylling (10/5): Ren og vakker leilighet i en stille sidegate med god seng, stor plass og et pent bad. - Verten vår, Maria, var svært rask til å svare på meldinger og veldig hyggelig ved innsjekk. Leiligheten ligger sentralt, med kort vei til alt. Den befinner seg i en rolig sidegate og har alt man trenger for enkel matlaging. Hyggelig at det er kaffe, te, sukker og oljer tilgjengelig. Svært god seng og pute. Det var stille og rolig om natten. Fungerende airconditon og et svært pent bad. Vi fikk lov til å la bagasjen vår stå i leiligheten til vi skulle reise senere på dagen. Alt i alt svært fornøyd med oppholdet, verten og leiligheten. Har ikke noe å utsette på oppholdet.
• Gapon (10/5): - La posizione è eccezionale: siamo stati nel cuore di Ortigia. La proprietaria è molto accogliente e sempre disponibile, ha risposto prontamente a tutte le nostre domande. Il punto forte della struttura è sicuramente la terrazza. Abbiamo scelto una camera all’ultimo piano e, nonostante il maltempo di Capodanno, siamo riusciti a godere di alcune giornate di sole sulla terrazza con una vista splendida su tutta Ortigia e sul mare circostante. È davvero un luogo perfetto per fare colazione o anche per praticare yoga. Consigliato.
• Christian (10/5): Beste Ferienwohnung auf Ortigia mit Dachterrasse - Wir waren 3 Wochen im Penthouse mit Dachterrasse und haben jeden Tag genossen. Die Dachterrasse mit dem 180 Grad Meerblick ist einmalig, selbst im November konnten wir jeden Tag draußen sitzen. Maria Gracia ist ein fantastischer Gastgeber und hat sich jederzeit um unsere Wünsche und Anliegen gekümmert. So gut umsorgt waren wir noch nie bei einer Ferienwohnung. Das Appartement ist stilvoll eingerichtet, das Bad ausreichend groß und hell mit Fenster. Die Küche ist etwas klein und ohne Dunstabzugshaube, dafür aber mit einem großem Fenster. Die erwähnten Bauarbeiten im Nachbarhaus waren nur noch punktuell und haben uns nicht weiter gestört. Alles prima.
• Robert (10/5): We had a wonderful time staying in this neighborhood apartment close to the main shopping and eating areas. - The property was well maintained and had a good amount of space. For our purposes, it was conveniently located. We were able to have a taxi drop off within a block of the property. Our host was very kind and helpful. We felt welcomed and had adequate supplies of necessities. There was some renovation going on nearby. The noise might be difficult for someone who does not get up early. The workers were respectful as we met in the street.
• YOO HEE (10/5): Un havre de paix - Le calme, la propreté, la décoration intérieure et la gentillesse de Maria, la proprietaire souriante
• Ryan (9/5): - Maria was an exceptional host she was responsive, and always ready to assist with anything we needed. The apartment’s location in Ortigia couldn’t be better: steps from charming streets, delicious restaurants, and the sea. We felt truly welcomed and comfortable throughout our stay. Would gladly return and highly recommend to anyone visiting the area.
• Jessica (10/5): Exceeded our expectations - Every aspect of our unit at Archimede Apartments delighted us. Beautifully designed, clean, amazing location, charming and helpful hostess. When we arrived, I felt like I hit the jackpot. The beach, restaurants, historic sites were all just steps away. I loved being able to be at the beach (and everywhere) in minutes - short, interesting, beautiful walks. Choosing accommodations on booking.com from photos, I have the concern of feeling like I’m staying in someone’s apartment. Archimedes Apartments are professionally designed and managed, with the feel of a hotel. (Fantastic espresso maker too, btw - as good or better espressos than at cafes and restaurants!) For more context, my husband and I are in our 70’s; we stayed in the Eureka unit on the 1st floor (not ground floor). It was 14-16 steps from the entry to the door, which suited us perfectly - easily doable, private. The unit has a lovely little balcony. Maria, our hostess, was so kind and helpful. She arranged a driver to bring us from and back to the Catania airport at the beginning and end of our stay. Having to leave and go home :-(
• Andrejs (9/5): -
• Lisa (10/5): -
• Wilhelmus (10/5): -
• Brontie (10/5): One of our best stays in Sicily.highly recommend - Great location. Modern, spacious and very clean with separate bedroom and sitting/kitchen area. Host made sure our stay was a pleasure and was very helpful with suggestions for the area. Nothing not to like
• Julian (9/5): - Schöne und gut gelegene Unterkunft im Herzen Ortigias. Großzügige und stilvoll eingerichtete Räume, schmale Küche und bei der Dachgeschosswohnung als Highlight eine wunderschöne Terrasse mit Blick über die Dächer und das Meer. Schlüsselübergabe und Kommunikation mit der Gastgeberin komplikationslos und zuvorkommend. Parkmöglichkeit im benachbarten Parkhaus gegen Aufpreis. Die Küche verfügt über einen eher schwachen Elektroherd mit zwei Platten, der etwas schwer zu bedienen war und jedenfalls für größere koch-aktionen nicht geeignet war.
• Allison (7/5): - Excellent hostess with great communication and help with the parking. Lovely location Shower leaked
• John (10/5): - Great central location. Host very helpful. Bright clean apartment. Left us proseco to celebrate our anniversay. Plenty tea and coffee, Nothing
• Juan Manuel (10/5): -
• Susan (10/5): Beautiful charming, spacious apartment with many original features. Great location and lovely host. - Absolutely gorgeous, spacious apartment! Very modern upgrades while still maintaining many original, charming features! Maria was very responsive and helped us with anything that we needed. Location was perfect.
• Linda (10/5): Amazing Stay in Ortigia - Best accommodation we had during our trip to Europe . Great location. So spacious clean and wonderful amenities. Lots of special touches that made a huge difference. The upstairs terrace was amazing. Thankyou also for the extra pillows and doona that we asked for. Would love to return one day as Ortigia is just sublime. Nothing.only having to leave.
• Jerry (10/5): This was the perfect spot for a stay in Ortigia. Thank you Maria! - The apartment was amazing !Location was perfect. It was modern and clean and had everything you could need. The terrace was huge with an breathtaking view. The manager Maria was the best part. She was so friendly and attentive to our needs. She arranged parking in a garage super close to the apartment. She responded to our texts immediately and even helped to arrange help with our luggage as the apartment has steps and we had too many bags. We loved this place and highly recommend to anyone coming to Ortigia. Nothing. Everything was perfect
• Barb (4/5): VERY noisy. Minimal furnshings. Good location on island - Great location on Ortigia. VERY noisy child/couple upstairs EVERY night. No windows to look out except MB but only had romeo and juieitette balcony. Construction next door. Very noisy every day. Plastic kitchen chairs. No end tables in livingroom. VERY annoying lights come on every time you move in bed at night. Manager was friendly.
• MADDALENA (9/5): - Struttura molto curata e in posizione strategica
• Paola (10/5): -
• Fabien (9/5): Une plongée douce et intense dans une histoire inconnue de Syracuse, cité au charme irrésistible - Là terrasse est splendide avec une vue incroyable la localisation est parfaite à deux petits pas d’entourés les curiosités historiques et des restaurants Peut être un mini lave linge mais sinon c’est parfait
• Ron (10/5): Toplocatie! - Heel fijn apartement, hartje centrum en een paar minuten lopen naar het strandje. Groot en schoon. Maria is een fijne gastvrouw. Goede communicatie via app. Parkeerplek gereserveerd via haar. Er stond een fles proseco en snoepgoed klaar. We kregen speciale handdoeken voor het strand. Maria kwam bij vertrek persoonlijk afscheid nemen. Alles top!
• Anna (10/5): - Fantastic location and lovely clean apartment with everything needed.
• Alexander (10/5): Une perle à Syracuse - Incroyable terrasse !!!!! (Elle n'est réservée qu'à un seul appartement, attention). Appartement super mignon, pratique et confortable. Bien climatisé. Super accueil. Pied à terre de rêve. Rien. Tout était super.
• Edward (7/5): Good overall but disappointed that there was no terrace or view. Kitchen equipment minimal - No windows in main room Ambiguous info on whether there was a terrace or not
• Sergio (10/5): Superlativo - Alla domanda: cosa ti è piaciuto della struttura, la risposta è semplice, tutto! Posizione perfetta, ampi spazi interni, letto comodissimo, tutto super pulito, tutti i servizi a portata di mano, ospitalità super, mare splendido… niente ma proprio niente è stato sotto le aspettative, anzi molto è stato di gran lunga meglio. Grazie a Maria Grazia, per tutto ciò che ha fatto, dall’accoglienza iniziale ai preziosi consigli per il soggiorno. Noi, di sicuro, torneremo ♥️
• Davide (9/5): - Posizione ideale per chi vuole conoscere l’isola. 2 passi dalla spiaggia e a 200 m dalla Cattedrale.
• Penelope (10/5): This apartment was perfect for our stay - spacious, clean, central, modern and with a very helpful and responsive host. - The location was perfect - quiet, but very close to beautiful cafes, restaurants and beaches of Ortigia. It was also very spacious and air conditioned, and our host Maria was great with communication and small touches, like leaving some prosecco and local chocolate for us.
• William (10/5): Beautiful appartment well located close to the beach. - The host was friendly and clear in her communication both when we booked and when we checked in. The host allowed us to check in early as the apartment was ready which was really welcome as we'd got an early flight that day. The apartment itself was very well decorated and stylish with some nice touches around the apartment (like the shower and provision of beach towels / umbrella and prosecco in the fridge!). The location in the island of Ortiga was perfect, it is close to lots of lovely bars and restaurants but also on a quiet street. The best part was the small pebble beach being just 2 mins from the apartment, something we took advantage of for a swim every morning before it got busy. Nothing!
• oliver (10/5): -
• Emma (10/5): Stunning aparment in the heart of Ortigia with a beautiful host. - Maria was incredibly friendly and accomodating. The apartment was beautiful, spacious, really comfortable and in a great location. Maria also arranged parking for us and the guys there couldn't have been more helpful. There were some really noce touches like welcome snacks, prosecco and a coffee machine with pods. The bed was very comfortable and even though it was in the middle of Ortigia it was very quiet. Nothing
• Uris (10/5): Imperdible en Ortigia - Fue una estadía excepcional, nuestra anfitriona María Grazia fue tan hospitalaria, alegre y servicial. Nos esperó en el estacionamiento que ella.misma nos aconsejó ( y fue un excelente consejo porque el alojamiento está en una zona restringida y es muy difícil encontrar estacionamiento) . Luego el apartamento es bellísimo, cómodo moderno y con diseño , la cama gigante y confortable, cocina completa, el baño bellisimo. La localización no pudo ser mejor, pleno centro de la zona historica de Ortigia y a media hora de playas hermosas. Fue una experiencia increíble!!!! Gracias María Grazia por hacer de nuestra estadía en Archimedes Apartments una muy especial!!!!! Saludos de Marcela y Marcelo. Nada. Todo estuvo fantástico.
• Ellie (9/5): Well located and stylish - The apartment was really stylish. We loved the exposed brick walls and the bathroom. It was also a great location right in the middle of the old town. Check in with Maria was also very smooth.
• Christian (9/5): Superb -
• Alison (10/5): Three wonderful days in this spacious and comfortable apartment. Beautiful rooftop Terrace. - Location, excellent. Communication from host was excellent. Apartment very spacious with spectacular views from the roof terrace. Beware there are three flights of floors to climb to the apartment . Close to cafés and the shops and all the sites you need to see In Ortiga. Would definitely recommend and would come again. Nothing I didn’t like
• Plamenova (10/5): Really nice apartment - Perfect location in Ortigia. Spacious apаrtment with everything you need and very comfortable bed.
• Eoin (10/5): Exceptional -
• Emmy (10/5): This is an amazing place to stay in Ortigia! Lovely apartments, clean, equipped, perfect location! -
• Bill (9/5): Location was amazing and walking distance to city Center and many restaurants. - Location was great and close to many places and amenities There was construction right beside and workers started working at 7:30AM (except weekends:). Also wifi is very weak there.
• Lawrence (10/5): The most perfect host, destination , accommodation ( the roof terrace was stunning!) Thankyou ❤️. - Everything was 10/10 from our amazing host to the stunning apartment and the generosity of her kindness, and genuine care to made our stay unforgettable. We will return. Nothing could be improved apart from a longer stay.
• Robert (9/5): Great Value, Super Location & Clean - Super cool spacious renovated apartment with stone walls, great location with proximity to entire island of Ortigia. Great shower. Super responsive and friendly host. I would give this property a 9.5 if possible. Hard to beat for the price. Towels could be thicker and bed and sofas are 9’s not 10, if you want to be picky. Didn’t use the kitchen facilities.
• Stefano (10/5): Exceptional - Modern, comfortable, and tastefully decorated. Great terrace and the host was exceptional in preparation and during the stay making sure we had everything we need for a memorable visit to Ortigia.
• Alan (10/5): Exceptional - Woke up Sunday morning, not a sound to be heard before midday, the view from the roof terrace was superb, you could not have asked for a better location, for the whole of Siracusa. Really safe to walk round in evenings, plenty of restaurant's bars etc. ALSO, the host helped out with a taxi to the airport, as our hire car broke down the day before, this however is something every traveller should look at closely, as when most hire cars break down and cannot be repaired, you have to go yourself back to the airport to get another, they may not forward you and your luggage, it took 4 hours to get a truck to us, which was only 10mins away, without the assurance from Maria, whom organised the Taxi, we were grateful, but imaging this happening on our way to the airport, cheap car hire is not necessary the best, Don't use Felirental what so ever. Although there was builders works next door, 7am start, but when the sun is shining through the windows, it didn't really matter, as the expression, when in Rome etc,, therefore perhaps the owners could had given us the option to book later or move, however, it would not put us off from coming back, still plenty to see.
• Franz (10/5): Exceptional -
• Richard (9/5): We truly loved our 3 days in Ortigia and loved the apartment. - It had a great location in a great part of Ortigia, the apartment was nice and the upstairs deck is wonderful. Also, Maria was a great and attentive host. Also paid parking right around the corner. You need to book in advance and they don’t really speak English. Maria will book it for you if you ask her on WhatsApp before you get there. It’s a lot of steps to get to it because it is on the top floor which didn’t bother us because you then get the roof top deck with the top unit. If you are not particularly strong or mobile this place probably won’t work for you.
• Jen (7/5): Lovely but poorly sound proofed - Very stylishly designed and clean apartment with a comfortable bed Photos are of the roof terrace apartment mostly so check which one you have before renting. Soundproofing is bad and we were disturbed all night by guests upstairs and my building works next door from early morning. There are odd movement activated lights which tripped even when turning over in bed sometimes.
• Ellen (10/5): Beautiful views - It was a spacious, modern, clean apartment with an awesome private balcony with 180 degree view of the sea. Great lou It would be nice to have a little more counter space in by the kitchen to dry dishes.
• Lesley (10/5): The host went out of her way to look after us. - Clean, comfortable, modern apartment, perfectly situated. Everything exceeded our expectations, so there was nothing to dislike.
• Peter (10/5): Really blessed time wandering about Siracusa - relaxing and revealing - Great location Wonderful host Very clean Huge balcony to enjoy breakfast and sunset Nothing
• Adrian (10/5): Exceptional -
• Marietta (10/5): Exceptional -
• Stephen (10/5): Exceptional - The location was excellent and the apartment is super comfy with a fabulous roof terrace for relaxing. Maria met us at the car park and arranged the parking for us. This accommodation is a gem in Ortiga which is a fabulous place to visit.
• Suzanne (8/5): Very good - Great location. Lovely space with balcony and roof terrace. Noisy renovations going on next door. A map of Ortigia in English would have been helpful. A fan would have been good. The tv had only local Italian stations.
• Lorraine (10/5): Exceptional - Location Nothing
• Irma-dalene (10/5): Exceptional -
• Erin (10/5): Excellent - Great location. Only a moments walk from the main centre of Syracuse. Plenty of nice restaurants around. The apartment itself was very spacious and comfortable and clean. There was a few stairs leading up to our apartment. Just something to be mindful of if you are travelling with a lot of luggage.
• Shaun (10/5): Fantastic apartment in lovely area of Ortigia - Great location, modern, well appointed, spotless
• Darragh (10/5): Modem accommodation, great host, perfect location. - Very modern and clean apartment with a great host and location walking distance to the beach and the seafront restaurants. Maria was an excellent host and a great help with local recommendations and parking options. I would highly recommend this property. Nothing
• Josh (10/5): Exceptional - Central location in a fantastic city. Beautiful apartment. Wonderful host. Nothing.
• Vicki (10/5): Fantastic, gorgeous apartment in the best location ! 2 minutes from the city beach and dining, shopping and sightseeing - Absolutely everything! And a bonus affiliated car park right around the corner to boot! Nothing
• Kathryn (10/5): A beautiful apartment with a stunning terrace in a fabulous location. - Perfect location close to a small beach and all of the local restaurants and sites of interest. The terrace on top of the property was a perfect place to relax with a cold drink. The apartment was stylish and comfortable. At the time of visiting ( August) there was some noise from renovation work on the adjacent building. It didn’t spoil our stay though.
• Catherine (10/5): Wonderful experience. - Great location with all the facilities needed for a comfortable stay. Very spacious and close to sights, numerous cafes and restaurants.
• Jenna (10/5): Maria was absolutely fantastic couldn’t do enough for us would highly recommend - Amazing…. Apartment was clean and spacious had everything we needed . Location was great in the middle Of Ortigia everything in walking distance.
• Alison (8/5): Lovely clean apartment, located in the centre near the car park , near all restaurants, shops and sites. Great views f - The property was very central and very close to the car park. The roof terrace was lovely, with views of the sea. The property was clean and well decorated. The kitchen was compact but had all amenities, with a large fridge freezer. Air conditioning was great and it was nice to have another balcony off the bedroom also. The shower was strong and although we had seen reviews sharing that the glass panel for the shower was on the same wall as the living room- this was not a problem as there was a blind so always rolled down which gave privacy. The owner was on hand throughout our stay and was in contact through WhatsAp. The owner arranged the car park for us before our stay. There was a TV but this was only with Italian channels and not a smart tv so we could not tune into Netflix etc. The beds were comfortable but would have appreciated more pillows ( only one pp supplied). The stairs to the apartment are steep and narrow- this was not a problem for us and we were aware before booking, from the owner , within their description of the property.
• Pjotr (10/5): Modern, clean apartments, sea-view terrace, central location. - I recently stayed at Archimede Apartments in Syracuse for three nights, and it was an exceptional experience. The apartments are modern and impeccably clean, with a beautiful and stylish design that made our stay very comfortable. One of the highlights was the superb terrace offering a stunning view of the sea—an ideal spot to relax and take in the scenery. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed, making it easy to prepare meals. The location is unbeatable, right in the heart of Ortigia, allowing us to explore the area with ease. Additionally, the hostess was a delightful and welcoming woman, adding a personal touch to our stay. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Syracuse.
• Elena (9/5): Superb -
• Abdulla (8/5): Beautiful apartment with brilliant views of ortigia from the terrace - We stayed in the penthouse apartment that came with a terrace. Beautiful views from the terrace and the apartment was spacious and very comfortable. All the amenities were there and it is tastefully decorated with comfortable furnishings including the bedding. Very close to the beach and many good restaurants and bars close by. Maria is a very nice host and allowed us to check-in early and helped us out with a few other requests. If you are carrying heavy luggage it might be difficult to carry everything to the top because of the stairs. There was construction works going on next and it is very loud. Normally it was okay because we dont take naps or sleep during the day but it was a bit annoying.
• Matteo (10/5): Home away from home, except this one has a view on one of the most beautiful places on Earth - We stayed in the attic apartment. The house is spacious, modern and stunning with a beautiful private terrace offering views of Syracuse’s strait, perfect to have a coffee in the morning or drink a glass of Prosecco (offered by the host!). The position is the best you can find if you want to live and breathe the stupendous Ortigia, walking distance to everything you need. The parking offered is a bit expensive but it’s around the corner from the apartment and I would still recommend it, unless you travel really light. What else.. well, it was sad to leave! nothing to mention!
• Celeste (10/5): Exceptional - Location was excellent, very clean and modern inside. The bed and pillows were extremely comfortable!
• Isernia (10/5): Exceptional - Highly recommend this place Nothing
• Rachael (10/5): Exceptional -
• Flavio (10/5): Wonderful host, place, location! What an experience 😀 - Top Experience at Archimede. Maria Grazia was a superb host always ready for anything. We stayed one night on the second floor and then moved to the 3rd floor to with the private Terrace which is really great for Aperitivo and for the views. The flat's kitchen has all needed for preparing a quick lunch and to cool beverages for the roof terrace. The location is great for the nearby Via Roma and Cala Rossa beach which is a great spot to definitely try! All perfectly clean and plenty of towels and also got beach towels! Small Details: the rental car is not very useful when staying here so consider not renting it, it will end up staying in the parking nearby most of the time unless you will travel to other places. The lift is missing so you need to be fit to get your luggage to the 2nd and 3rd floor. Some very minor fixing needed in the apartment (the bedroom door not closing so light coming in). It would be great to receive upfront a list of places where to eat and go, had to do my own research .
• Jennifer (10/5): Elegant, spacious , fabulous location, facilities and recommendations from owner !!💋 - Excellent location, spacious, elegant and great facilities and owner. Nothing
• David (9/5): A nice appartment in a good location with a helpful host. - Super location that was very quiet yet near everything. Roof terrace a plus. Clean and smart inside and well equipped. Hour host was very helpful and sorted excellent close by parking. There were 5 flights of stairs to our 4th floor which we hadn’t appreciated. For pensioners this was somewhat challenging. The kettle, oven/microwave and coffee machine all worked off the single socket which was a pain at breakfast.

• Lelsey (8/5): Lovely apartment in beautiful Ortigia - The apartment is lovely - light, spacious, nicely furnished (even better than it looks in the photos) and in a great location within walking distance of everything Ortigia - and we loved the roof terrace (one of the highlights of our holiday). We made good use of the kitchen too - buying fresh fish and vegetables from the local market and eating in. Lots of steps (though that didn't bother us), no parking (other than a private park around the corner which is pricey and needs to be pre-booked). And we would have given the place a perfect 10 if if were not for the very noisy building work going on next door.
• Caroline (10/5): Charming and Comfortable Apartment - Beautifully restored old stone building. Wonderful host. Very comfortable and spacious. Good coffee provided.
