The property is honest does not offer what it was not there. Perfect for a couple or individuals. The bad experience and the bitter aftertaste comes from the big mouth and lies of the host. The accommodation as it is fine and we had no direct issues there. However as we did - just like most people will- arrived to Siracusa downtown with a rental car our host convinced us that we are good to park the car because he had reported the license plate to the authorities. Regardless of his convincing words there was a parking fine in our windscreen of our rental car the next morning after arrival. The host Angelo convinced us to ignore that and ensured us that he will take care of it as he is a member along the local police community. Two months after our holiday my credit card was charged by the rental car company. They received the unpaid fine on the car from the Siracusa police department. Angelo had started to convince us that it is a mistake and he took and will take care of everything. He did nothing. We ended up with an extra 30 euros charge for something we never committed. Angelo came again with his Sicilian convincing style that no problem he will pay us back and ready to transfer the 30 euro fine to us. Angelo provided proofs of proving nothing as the 30 euros is still traveling somewhere and two weeks was not enough to reach our account - a transfer from EU to EU most probably never takes more than 4 days. Enjoy the accommodation but believe nothing your host is saying as he is not telling the truth and obviously after we paid for our stay he had no interest to compensate the loss we encountered because of his big empty words. Final thoughts: don’t get us wrong we would have paid the parking fine if we had committed the fault so the sun is not the issue but think twice before you trust such host who in our case calls himself Angelo, but we call him Angelo the unreliable, the liar.

The spot is perfect, one can enjoy an Italian lifestyle by the sea in the heart of a historical district.

Though very comfortable there was a shortage of space which made the area a bit cramped,especially when the sofa bed was open .

Beautiful cosy pad in a lovely setting by the sea in Ortigia,Syracuse.Sitting outside at 6.30 am watching the sun rise was amazing.Our host was very attentive and kept our luggage for a time after we departed.

A very unique apartment in the centre of Ortigia, ideal for couples or solo travellers. The entire experience from the moment we walked in, was fantastic. Angelo made us feel very welcomed and was always available on phone if we needed anything. I can highly recommend this place if you are in Syracusa!

The host welcomed us with very good preparation. He responded to my questions quickly and helped me much in finding the suite to enjoy the fantastic environment. The location at Ortigia is very good to access swimming spots and watch sunrise just outside the main door of the suite.

Not much , we couldn't find a corkscrew but maybe didn't look hard enough so not really a complaint.

The owner Angelo gave us lots of information about the property before we arrived and although was out of town when we were there he responded to any text messages immediately and often messaged us just to check everything was ok. We found him very helpful and friendly. The apartment faces east so got quiet hot as the sun came up but the air con worked great so kept it a lovely cool temperature. Angelo has a bench and table right outside the door , my wife and I really enjoyed sitting there at night with a glass of wine looking out to sea watching the cruise ships head out . The apartment has wonderful, quirky decor with a lit glass floor covering beautiful shells and sand making the room really special. Would definitely stay there again.

This suite is a one of a kind experience. Not only do you find yourself on first row to the Mediterranean, but from the very minute you press the codes and enter the suite, you step into a unique combination of limestone vaults, a sandy beach (underneath glass floor) and a modern hi-tech flat. It's enchanting, and even though small, you'll find all you need. In the fridge, the host left a bottle of wine to be enjoyed on the bench just outside the suite. Did I mention the nearby beach only 200m away? A real nice place to swim and watch the sun rise.

Location was perfect, host was amazing and went above and beyond at every turn. The apartment was just spectacular.

Our car got towed which was super stressful. Angelo came and drove us to the parking lot that was across Syracusa and was very helpful, but we still ended up paying a 55 euro fine. My recommendation would be to park on a lot (about 20 euros) and not on the street in order to avoid this unnecessary stress and just enjoy the amazing island of Ortigia.

The space is super small, but it is charming! The location - exceptional! The view - breathtaking. Check in was extremely easy - Anglo is a great host that made sure we have all the needed information before we arrived and there was a bottle of wine waiting for us! If like me you are wondering where the bathroom is - it is behind the bed, so you might want to share the place with some you’re very close to ;)

Amazing location jus right to the sea and the centre of the old town. So near all the bests restaurants and wonderful historic sight. Angelo was a wonderful host he made us feel so welcome. He helped us with the parking,recommended excellent venues for dinner and also for coffee. We really like the small place next to the entrance where you can have a glass of wine at evening or coffee in the morning with amazing view to the sea. I would not hesitate to recommend this beautiful apartment and definitely we will be back very soon. Thanks for everything Angelo!!!

A very special little place with the best possible view for sunrises over the sea. The nice parts of the town are easy reachable by feet. I can highly recommend the Suite Ortigia!

Stayed in October 2022

Everything was perfect, with exception of these 2 things. The room is very small (which I don't mind), but it was very cluttered with many unnecessary items (all cabinets are full of random stuff). The sofa bed was quite uncomfortable to sleep at. But other than that, it was really unique and special room in super good location, and the host was really nice.

Amazing location, very helpful host, parking right next to the property, cleanliness, free bottle of wine as a gift. Very unique and special design with all the shell decorations.

Only the room was a bit smaller than we expected but all the other facilities made us highly pleased.

We very much are satisfied with the location which has a great sea view and accessibility to all historical spots. Angelo, the owner of the property, was very hospitable and helpful before our arrival till the end.
