Beachfront vacation rentals in Island of Ortigia

The apartment has incredibly beautiful views and the best sunset view. However, you should be aware that the apartment is located directly on the promenade with many restaurants and it is a bit noisy - especially Friday and Saturday. Alberto is super friendly and has always accommodated us. The amenities are great.

Thanks for your stay! Perfect place for a short visit to Syracuse with friends. Azzurra and Franceso were attentive and their house is fantastic.

My wife and I traveled to Ortigia with our daughter for her 25th birthday. This home checked all the boxes when we booked it. Location on the water, nice modern home, walking distance to everything we wanted to see. But, when we got there, it was so much more amazing than we could have imagined. The home is beautiful - on the water with a stunning rooftop deck and amazing sunsets. Its situated right in the heart of Ortigia next to Fountain Arethusa. Walk out the front door onto the cobble streets to restaurants, coffee bars, shops. Turn right and walk a few minutes to Castello Maniace. Turn left and walk a few minutes to the Piazza Duomo. Yolande was an amazing host. Communication was great. Answered all my questions and helped find us a driver for the week which turned out to be one of the best decisions we made. Our driver, Beppe, was born in Ortigia and taught us more about Sicily during our car rides than any guide we could have round. Grazie Yolande!

We had a fantastic stay. The location was perfect and within walking distance to many great restaurants, the market, and other important landmarks. Cesare was very responsive and flexible as we navigated the parking situation. We would definitely stay here again!

This place was in amazing location and is walkable to all the lively spots on the island. Andrea was the best Airbnb host we have ever had. He responds right away, was always there for questions and gave us recommendations for the entire city so we did feel in great hands. I recommend this place to everybody. The Airbnb was very clean and had all we needed for our 3 day trip! Stay here Andrea will take great care of you.

We have stayed in many great AirBnB’s but we have never encountered hosts as wonderful as Mario and Jacopo. They told us where we could park within the ZTL; Jacopo came down to the parking lot when we arrived and insisted on carrying our suitcases back to the apartment. They had stocked the fridge with water, milk, beer, limoncello, snacks, etc. - all for our use, and even a home-made lemon tart made with their own lemons! The apartment was wonderfully quiet but less than 1/2 block from one of the main streets. The beds were very comfortable and the 2 bathrooms were very modern and well appointed. Water pressure in the showers was excellent and there was plenty of hot water. The rooftop balcony was a delight. Our hosts gave us lots of suggestions for restaurants, beaches, cafes, places to see within Ortigia and beyond. They even kept us updated on traffic conditions and suggested alternate routes. If you are planning to visit Ortigia, we recommend Casa Daphne without hesitation!

A wonderful apartment that was a delightful place to stay close to everything Ortigia has to offer. And across the bridge you can be in Syracuse in minutes. Such a luxurious feel with 2 bedrooms and bathrooms and a fully kitted out kitchen for anyone wanting to cook. Plus a living room and upstairs has a steam shower! Generous offerings of all sorts of biscuits, fruits etc let too. With 2 small balconies. Just an absolutely perfect place to stay. Such a great city to explore. We loved it all. Thankyou for having us!!

We had a lovely time staying here. We didn’t need to use the car as it was a 30 minute walk to the archeological park and a 30 minute walk to the castle on Ortygia. The flat was spotless and the view from the window amazing. Highly recommended

Very good stay in this soothing place. The space and the environment match the photos. Very nice proximity to the beach. Lots of storage in the property.

An absolutely spectacular location right on the sea. it's one of the most beautiful places I've ever stayed at with incredible outdoor space flowing down from the house/upper terrace to the pool and a second outdoor area to the water itself, which you can reach directly from the house in two minutes or less. At the bottom of the property, you can swim in the pristine waters of the Plemmirio marine reserve in either a protected cove or in the sea itself, where you can observe a vast number of fish and explore the many caves coves up and down the shoreline.

Corrado was so nice and friendly, he was a gentle man. Beds were very comfortable, kitchen was perfect. Pool was fabulous. Every recommendation Corrado gave us was superb from beaches to the unmissable Canyon, to restaurants to day trips. I would highly highly recommend this place and the wonderful Corrado

A superb property owned by an exceptional host. Cannot wait to return.

We absolutely loved Alfredo’s place. Beautiful, immaculately clean, comfy bed and amazing shower. Loved the little deck sitting out area for evenings and pool to cool off. Fabulous Airbnb and Alfredo was so lovely and friendly and helpful. Great 5 days in lovely Fontane Bianchi.

Our family (7 adults) had a wonderful stay. For Cesare’s place you need a car but it’s a a great place to return to with wonderful outdoor dining, as well as indoor, lazing by the pool, and a great swimming spot just a 3 minute walk away. Short drive to Syracuse in one direction and a sandy beach (Fontane Bianche) in the other. We also visited the beautiful villages of Noto, Modica and Ragusa Ibla 30-60 minutes drive away.

We had a great time staying at Antonio and his family's place! Unfortunately, our outbound flight was delayed for 3 hours and Antonio checked in with us at 2 o'clock at night and was more than friendly. The place is very well maintained, there was even water, everything for an Italian breakfast and pasta for cooking. The garden area is well maintained and the pool very pleasant. It is definitely recommended to have a car, then the beautiful old town of Syracuse can be reached in about 15 minutes and you are on the very beautiful beach in less than 5 minutes. We would definitely recommend the place in Arenella!

The villa was absolutely beautiful and very well equipped. We particularly enjoyed the choice of outdoor areas and the pool. Sabrina was an extremely lovely and responsive host who made sure our stay was smooth. Arriving in Catania at 8am, we were able to do an early check-in which was much appreciated. Our children also appreciated the cats who came to say hi, it reminded us of ours :) We would definitely recommend Sabrina’s place.

Giovanna’s place was excellent for our 3 day stay in Ortigia! The apartment was clean and even better than the photos. It was in a great location, walkabale to many restaurants, shops and main attractions. Her co worker Nella met us on check in and she was very helpful in ensuring a smooth check in with plenty of recommendations. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting!!

We had a great time staying at Paola's place. Ale was always quick to respond to questions we had or address any small issues. The apartment is as described - spacious and light filled. Very comfortable and such a great location close to the water. Very quiet apartment at night yet you're so close to all amenities and many restaurants. We had a great time.

Wow, this place exceeded my expectations. The location is perfectly near both the sea and the restaurants/ shops. The apartment itself was absolutely spotlessly clean and had absolutely everything you would need (and more!). Careful thought has been put into the home with various wireless chargers, sonos speaker and an additional loft space which my daughter loved as her own room! Davide's place is even better than the pictures and much bigger than we expected. We'd love to stay again just to make the most of the beautiful space they have created in the apartment. Thank you!

Miriam and family were wonderful hosts. They personally escorted us to the apartment on Ortigia Island and made the process a breeze. We really enjoyed Ortigia Island and Miriam's apartment is a perfect place to explore it. Everything about our stay exceeded our expectations.

A fantastic apartment for a family. Extremely quiet and amazing location, steps from the sea. Rooftop deck has views of both the sunrise and sunset! Very clean, comfy beds, and modern. We would definitely stay here again. The host helped us with everything, and provided wonderful restaurant recommendations.

Even nicer than we imagined- the patio is right off the bedroom making it super easy to use for breakfast and afternoon drinks. It has the best view in the city!

Great place to stay! Very central and great host! Would recommend!

staying here is like being a local Ortagian we were greeted at our parking space by Enrico who is Majas man on the ground who took us down the street to the apartment so much better than having to find a key lock box the apartment is superbly equipped and stylish in a typical Italian fashion large lounge with views two bedrooms both on a par ditto for the bathrooms on the third floor there is also an amazing terrace ideal for the alfresco breakfast sunbathing and pre dinner sundowners this was one of the best airbandbs we know and we would like to return
