Apollo House Holiday House in Ortigia - Syracuse

Wonderful apartment beautifully appointed and equipped in a lovely area close to all restaurants etc. loved it! initially had difficulty locating the property - possibly suggest a sign outside the door would help. Or advanced notification of house number. Not a complaint just a constructive comment

Heaven in Ortigia! Carmelo was so kind and responsive. We loved every minute in this thoughtfully appointed, spacious and welcoming home. The location is ideal, with easy walking access to all of Ortigia’s beautiful sights and restaurants, as well as very easily accessible to Siracusa and the train/bus stations by cab (5 minutes, 15 Euro) or foot (15-20 mins). We will always remember our magical stay in Ortigia and we can’t wait to come back to Apollo House. Grazie!!

We had a very pleasant stay at the apartment. Our hosts were very friendly and helpful. It is a perfect apartment for two people in a quiet street in ortigia. Even though it is very quiet the market and the main street are just around the corner. We strongly recommend this apartment to everyone who loves to sleep at a quiet place but at the same time loves the charming atmosphere of a busy mediterranean city.

This property is a great access point to all of the action in Ortigia, from the lively market to nightlife. Easy ground floor access, well stocked kitchen, and comfortable accommodations. with great design elements. Best suited for couple not bothered by street noise looking for short term stay.

The apartment was really great, with all the comfort for two people, all the necessary amenities, nicely decorated and spotless. Our hosts welcomed us with helpful suggestions for visiting the city, restaurants, beaches, shops and so on. I can't think of a better location, close to all the places of interest both in Ortigia and new Siracusa. We deeply enjoyed our privacy in this old building on a beautiful medieval street, quiet at night and with the usual rumour of the city during the day.

Apollo House is just steps away from the ancient ruins of the Temple of Apollo in Ortigia. It's easy to walk everywhere from this location, including up to mainland Siracusa and the Teatro Greco there. The big daily market is just a couple of blocks away, and there's a decent grocery store, as well as too many good restaurants to count. Martina very thoughtfully supplied so many things: coffee, sugar, bottled water, milk, pasta, sauce, plenty of toilet paper, washing detergent...in short, everything I needed to start off. The flat opens right onto the street, so you can hear passers-by; but after a couple of days it was not a problem, since I was usually out and about anyway. The house is spotless and recently renovated, with a good kitchen, immaculate bathroom, and good linens. She and her family were also extremely responsive to any question or concern that I had (including operation of the combination washer/dryer). Parking, which is at a premium in Ortigia, is a few blocks away and requires prepayment in coins at a kiosk. I rented a car in Siracusa for a few days to make excursions outside the city, rather than being saddled with a vehicle for the entire time, and this worked out better than renting at the airport in Catania. Apollo House was just perfect for me as a solo traveler, but would also work well for a couple looking for economical accommodations in this beautiful city.
