Terrace sea view-Ortigia,bikes,laundry,parking

I loved my stay here. The apartment was small but oh so charming. I loved the balcony. I sat out there every night with a glass of wine and my book. The hostess was great to work with. She allowed early check-in when I arrived early and let me store my luggage when I had to check out but, my train out of Syracusa wasn't for a few hours. I would definitely stay here again if I were in that area.

Roberta and her assistant Guilia were very helpful and I felt that they were at our disposal. The location was great but parking was quite far away but doable. The apartment was very clean and had everything we needed. I only gave it 4 stars because it was so small but the size was as advertised. It was a good value.

Very nice flat in the historic center of Siracusa (Ortigia). The communication with the owner was perfect before and during our stay. Roberta met us in order to take us to the flat, as we lost our way through the maze of tiny streets... She was very kind and told us a little bit about the connections to the bus station and to the main sightseeing highlights. The flat is as described and shown in the photos: the kitchen is fully equipped, the bed is very comfortable and the terrace with sea view is a little paradise! On the ground floor you have a washing machine and there are 2 bikes you can use (thanks!).Close to the flat you have the access to a wood platform to sunbathe and bathe and 10 minutes away a small beach The flat is also very quiet and safe.There is a bus stop (electric navette) very close to the place, so it is a good option when coming to the flat form the bus or train stations, although its timetable is a somewhat unreliable... There are several places to buy food as well: a supermarket gusto and several bakeries with fresh bread and arancini. The Piazza del Duomo is like 7 mins walk, which means you can really walk to all the main sightseeings within Ortigia. In a nutshell, a very nice place! Highly recommended.

We stayed in Ortigia for 1 week and had a wonderful time. Roberta and her family were very kind and always ready to offer any help or advice during our time in her lovely apartment. The location was fantastic, right in the heart of historic Ortigia and surrounded by many small, beautiful streets perfect for exploring. The market was a real highlight and we ate in most of the time cooking the amazing ingredients we had bought that day. Very nice terrace to sit out on during the evening. Perfect holiday.

Our apartment was as lovely as we expected, very comfortable and in a perfect location surrounded by beautiful little streets which we explored in the evenings. We had a nice terrace which was just right for enjoying a glass of wine and watching the sun go down and we even had access to 2 bikes as part of our rental. Roberta and her family were very kind and helpful and were always ready to offer advice and make our stay an even better one. I would highly recommend this apartment if you plan to stay in the most beautiful part of Siracusa

The location of the property is excellent. It's located in the heart of Ortigia, which makes it very convenient. The rooms are spacious and in great condition, making the stay very pleasant. The A/C works really well, which is definitely a plus given how warm Sicily gets in the summer months. My favorite part of the stay was the stuff. Roberta, the hotel manager, is a wonderful person. She is great at her job and also incredibly nice. The whole time I was there, she showed great commitment to making the guests' stay as pleasant as possible and she was also pleasant to talk to. I made feel like at home! I most definitely recommend La Gorgone to anyone traveling to Siracusa.

Lovely, cosy apartment in the heart of Ortigia but, at the same time, very close to the sea. It is perfect for a holiday with your other half, as I did. Nice terrace,we appreciated having our breakfast with the wonderful sea view. Roberta is a fantastic host, going to extra mile to help with any questions you may have. We had a wonderful stay , strongly recommended! :)

The apartment is fantastically situated only minutes away from the sea where we swam from the rocks every day. It is very comfortable with everything you could need. The little patio for drying clothes was very convenient. Fabio (Roberta's brother) met us and very kindly sorted out the complicated parking for us. The island itself is very picturesque with lots of lovely shops, bars and restaurants. The market is good for food and we had the best sandwiches in the world at the famous sandwich man's stall - although be prepared to queue (the time goes quickly as it's like performance art!). We went during the Ortigia Film Festival which was an added bonus. Open air free films, several in English or with sub- titles. The archeology museum in Syracuse is also well worth a visit - there's tons to see. Also the Greek theatre etc. We took a day trip to Noto, which is quite small but did have the best ice cream in the world. And swam at one of the many beautiful golden beaches on the way home. We also had an excellent, reasonably priced boat trip to see the caves and swim from a the boat. All all I can thoroughly recommend Ortigia as a base and Roberta's lovely flat. We wouldn't have bothered with a car though as parking is difficult and we just walked everywhere anyway. We would definitely go back - already missing the sunbathing on the 'solarium'.

Very helpful host and the apparement is in the middle of the city. The apartment is comfortable and has all the basics you need.

Spent a fantastic week at Roberta's place. She met us even though late at night and gave us loads of great tips about how to spend our time - even explaining the unfathomable parking regulations of Ortigia. The apartment was excellent - very clean and great location with a beautiful roof terrace. Roberta - and her delightful mum - were perfect hosts and I will be recommending La Gorgone to my friends for sure.
