For relax and sea lovers, Eastern Sicily and the surroundings of Siracusa are the perfect choice. Leaving the ancient Greek city and going toward the south, the best equipped beaches worth of a visit are Minareto, Fanusa, Arenella and Fontane Bianche, whose name is due to the natural sweet spring water and to the unique white sand. Then, In the island of Ortigia there are some equipped solarium (Zefiro and Nettuno), as well as the free beach of Cala Rossa. Going further south, about 30 kms far away from Siracusa, there are amazing and wild beaches: Calamosche, Vendicari with its Wildlife Park and the precious San Lorenzo. For those looking for cultural and historical sites, it is recommended to visit Teatro Greco and its archeological site with the famous Orecchio di Dionisio (a limestone cave shaped as a human ear), the Museum Paolo Orsi, then the Latomie dei Cappuccini, and finally the island of Ortigia with its natural and historic eye-catching landscapes. Finally, our guests should visit the town of Noto, the seafront of Tonnara di Avola and the fisherman village of Marzamemi. Sicily is beauty, a wild land with a millennial history impossible to forget at first glance, that will take a special space in your heart.
The airport of Catania Fontanarossa is about 60 kms far away, while Comiso Pio La Torre airport is 110 kms far. The train station of Siracusa is 1 km far from Ortigia, as well as the interbus station connected with the airports.

Nice apartment though ground floor makes it at times lacking light and a bit cold but using ac and heaters was fine. Very well located close to piazza duomo and the waterfront l.

Disappointing
We had high hopes, but this stay was disappointing. At first glance, it seemed clean, but the floors had a thick, dusty residue, almost like paint dust. The beds were extremely uncomfortable—if you have back issues, avoid this place. I even tried stacking the two twin mattresses for support, but it barely helped.
Mosquitoes were a big issue, with bites covering me the first night. Although they sprayed, I ended up buying a plug-in repellent to keep them away. The bathroom setup was also frustrating, with no shelves or hooks for towels or toiletries, plus very limited supplies (no tissues, only two toilet paper rolls for three people, and no laundry detergent).
Natural light was scarce, and the street noise at night was very disruptive. We also had no blankets the first night, making it uncomfortably cold. The trash system was confusing, with extra charges if you missed the collection.
Worst of all, the communication was poor. Despite replying immediately to their texts, responses from staff took hours, and at checkout, no one showed up as promised. We left the keys with their driver but later got messages asking where the keys were. Overall, though the area was charming, I’d recommend staying closer to the Piazza of Archimedes for better access to shops. The lack of amenities, comfort, and clear communication made this stay fall short of expectations.

Soggiorno piacevole e posizione della casa perfetta
Historic apartment a bit south of main Ortigia tourist attractions. 1 min to sea, 1 min to cafes and restaurants, 2 min to papyros, 4 min to Duomo. Quiet street without traffic and major tourist streams. Great and prompt service from rental company. Great online checkin and whatsapp communication. Parking is at border of Ortigia and 20 min walk.
