Beautiful apartment with sea view, very nicely decorated, equipped with all modern appliances

The aparthotel is located probably in the most beautiful spot in Syracuse. The view from the windows is breathtaking. The apartments are well fitted and with all comforts- all areas have air conditioning. There is a small kitchen which is useful to prepare breakfast or a simple meal. The beds are comfortable- including the sofa bed- and the bathroom has a good size. The shower could have been bigger and more modern but had good water pressure. They clean every day - which wasn't entire clear from the booking website- and provide plenty of towels.

There is no lift- normal as it is an old palazzo- but there is also nobody to help with the luggage. In this sense it's indeed more of a serviced apartment than a hotel. The worse is the parking. As you cannot park on Ortigia the aparthotel staff will suggest a valet service which was an absolute disaster. They made us pay the full sum as soon as arriving and then on the day of departure showed up more than 45 minutes late meaning we almost lost our flight- no compensation and no excuses from the parking company. Absolutely not recommendable- if possible look for an alternative.

Everything was absolutely perfect. I was given the top floor room overlooking the sea. And my own private terrace with hot tub!!Gorgeous building, my room was heavenly. Immaculate and so comfortable. Modern amenities and AMAZING hospitality by Ilse and her team. Housekeeping staff did a wonderful job every day. Location is the BEST near everything within less that a 5-10 minute walk. I would recommend this property to everyone. Loved Ortigia and this aparthotel made my stay even better. This is simply the perfect place in every way. Thank you Ilse for making everything so special.

I have nothing negative at all to say.

The location was amazing, sunset views from the large terrace. It was very well equipped, comfortable and spacious. The staff were very friendly and helpful. People walking past are jealous and enquire about it all the time, it’s that special.

The apartment smelt of damp quite bad when we arrived. The staff provided plug in fresheners and a dehumidifier as the apartment is in an old building I think this is a problem with the structure. The staff were really understanding and helpful but needed to have been dealt with before our arrival as once they provided the plugs and dehumidifier it really helped. The shower doesn’t drain well, probably another symptom of the old building but it leaked onto the bathroom floor. Staff are aware and tried to resolve it but it carried on. Despite both these things I would definitely stay here again, it’s a beautiful apartment with an enviable terrace and amazing views.

Beautifully positioned on the tip of Ortigia, looking out across the bay with gorgeous view of the sunset each evening from the apartment, this was a fantastic place to stay. The main room was spacious and designed in a modern elegance style. The fully equipped, cleverly designed compact kitchen, could be closed off if needed, and the whole apartment was comfortable, air conditioned, and a great place to explore from. With restaurants and bars just below, it felt quiet, yet vibrant, also. It was easy to drop off our bags, after good communication and advice from hosts, re where to stop off for this. The hosts also do offer a valet parking service but after dropping off our bags, we parked easily in the main public parking near the bridge 20 mins walk away.

We stayed at the weekend for 2 nights and there was music until 1am, which didn't really bother us, but if you are a light sleeper, you may want to bring your ear plugs.

This apartment is beautiful and has stunning views over the sea! The photos of the property don’t do it justice as it’s modern, completely updated, with high quality windows, fixtures and bathroom. The balcony is very large with a jacuzzi and shower. The location is on a pedestrian path, so no noisy cars going by. Our apartment was quiet for good sleep and also in a wonderful location for restaurants and nice bars. The staff was super responsive and helped us with taxis, tours, restaurants. I give this a 5 star rating. One of the best places you can choose in Ortigia!

Absolutely perfect location, although it’s next to a bar you could hardly hear any noise. Spacious well equipped apartment with the unexpected bonus of being serviced daily. Delightful terrace to sit out and enjoy breakfast or aperitivi. Ilse and Chiara were absolutely amazing, very proactive, went out of their way to provide any help we could possibly need. Ilse even helped us on her day off.

There was only one thing to dislike and unfortunately it did impact our enjoyment of the apartment: there was a constant and pervasive smell of damp.

A great location and beautiful views. The apartment was extremely comfortable and clean. The staff we interacted with were all very professional and helpful . The bed was firm but comfortable. The pillows were high foam pillows which suited me but not my husband, but you can’t have everything. When we arrived the fridge was stocked with milk, a variety of juices, and coffee pods for the coffee maker. As we booked with booking.com our first morning we also received fresh pastries for breakfast from the bakery around the corner. Parking: there is no parking onsite but Ilse who assisted us with our booking assisted us in organising private car parking €15 a night. There were 2 flight of stairs to our apartment, which normally isn’t a problem, but was a bit of a challenge lugging our heavy suitcases ( we’re travelling for 7 weeks) up the stairs .

Nothing

We loved the location of the apartment and the balcony to sit out on and watch the passers by. Great sunsets and close to lovely restaurants. The balcony does face west though so unless you like sun bathing you can’t sit out all day. The staff were also exceptionally helpful and friendly.

There are stairs but fortunately the lively staff assisted with our luggage. There is no parking nearby but the valet parking recommended worked well for us.

Really happy with our ground floor apt. The comfortable outdoor lounge chairs and dining table, for our exclusive use, was a particular bonus. Really appreciated the extra touches such as milk and juice in the fridge and Nespresso milk frother, in addition to coffee machine. Staff could not have been more helpful or pleasant - lovely team. I do recommend booking the valet parking ahead of your stay - 30 Euro a night is not cheap, but worth it for the convenience.

We found the bed comfortable but the memory foam pillows were not, for us. We did request softer pillows, however, extra of the same style of pillow was provided - I do recommend they have an alternative to offer.
