Smoking-friendly holiday rentals in Island of Ortigia

We had an amazing stay at Marianna's place. The location was perfect and the check-in was very easy. The place was very spacious and clean. Marianna was always helpful, responsive and friendly. If we come to Siracusa again we will definitely stay here!

Well-decorated one-bedroom cottage near the beach. Located in a neighborhood of cute summer homes, especially quiet during the off-season. Effective split heating unit plus a wood stove so the space was always warm during my one-month stay in winter. Well-stocked and completely functional kitchen, comfy bed, shaded patio and a nicely landscaped yard to sit in the sun and read a book. Hosts were responsive, kind, helpful and friendly. Highly recommended.

Wonderful stay, we wouldn’t have wanted any other spot

A very pretty house right in front of the beautiful beach. Very comfortable and friendly host If I go to Syracuse again, I definitely want to stop by again!

Apartment located right in the center of Ortigia convenient to all amenities(supermarkets, shops, etc.) suitable for children looking for movement(Ortigia is full of locals) and for families to take even in the evening a nice walk in the center (which is worth it.) The apartment is spacious and we found it clean and well equipped in terms of towels,sheets, etc. Nothing is missing. I did not get to know Carmelo but you are greeted directly by the host where I found Lucia, they are two people available for any problem, kind, always available ready to offer you the best service. And if you need advice on what to visit, where to go to the sea or anything Lucia will know how to help you. That said, I don't go too far, but if I had to go back to Sicily I would choose them so I recommend them 100%. I forgot the apartment has a beautiful cool terrace where you can enjoy a beautiful view.

Excellent host and home, thank you for the hospitality Chiara :)

Perfect stay. Very clean house, equipped with all comforts in a quiet area but a few minutes from services, the archaeological area and Ortigia. To all this is added the precision, availability, kindness and cordiality of Cinzia. We would have gladly stayed a few more days!

Salvatore has been lovely. The garden is beautiful and the kids enjoyed the pool a lot. Ideal place to shine in the area. Very nice bedding. we had a lovely stay!

We stayed at this house for a week with 4 people and had a really good time there. We were working most days which worked very well because of all the different areas to sit. The location is very quite and close to the rocky coast. We enjoyed the hikes along the sea. Except for this, there isn’t much to do in walking distance. We recommend a car for sure. The communication with the hosts was extraordinary. They gave us recommendations and the checkout was flexible which was convenient for us.

I would recommend everyone to stay at Giuseppina's wonderful apartment. She and her husband welcomed us warmly when we arrived and explained everything to us in detail and with care. Everything we needed was there. All the main attractions are in walking distance. We liked the calm, more local atmosphere of this neighborhood (different from the very touristy Ortigia). I would 200% recommend, I hope I can visit again one day and be able to read Giuseppina's poems in Italian. Wonderful experience.

Lovely, friendly hosts who are very helpful and do their best to accommodate your needs and made everything so easy. The property is great value for money. The property was clean and felt like a home away from home. The kitchen is great has everything you need to cook meals, washing machine room also next to the kitchen which is great. The property is 20 minutes drive from loads of great beaches. Lovely outdoor area to eat and relax. Would definitely recommend.

Giuseppe’s villa is beautiful, tastefully decorated and very spacious. The variety of outdoor seating areas were lovely for enjoying the sun at different periods of the day. The pool was superb, beautiful and clean. The villa is 10 minutes drive from Syracuse and Ortigia, which have a huge variety of delicious restaurants and bars. The streets are beautiful to explore, especially in the evenings. The only downside to the villa was the area. Unfortunately, there are no pavements so walking anywhere is unsafe. Therefore, hiring a car is necessary. There is a bus, but it only passes 4 x daily. There are local restaurants to visit, but driving is required due to the roads, and at our time of visiting it was unclear whether these were open or not. Despite this, I would happily visit Giuseppe’s villa again without a doubt. Thank you for having us.

We had an awesome time at Maita’s place. Can’t beat the location! In the heart of Ortigia. Beautiful spacious air b&b.

Sometimes I joke about not wanting to review my favorite places for fear it will make my next booking harder. But this is no joke. Francesca and Carlo have a paradise, and I’ll be working hard to get back soonest. We stayed 10 days, visiting Syracusa and Noto, Etna lava and wineries, and found it increasingly difficult to leave even for a few hours. Evenings shift from the cooing of pigeons to the plaintiff call of owls, with the sounds of waves from her almost private coast. The house is rich in family memories, and gorgeously decorated. The ceilings high and rooms airy.The kitchen a gem to use.

The apartment is a light bright airy home, well appointed with pretty much everything you could want for a comfortable stay. The washing machine is available for an additional cost of €35 per week. A particular highlight of the property is the south facing veranda and pretty garden which cleverly provides both sunshine and shade at all times of the day with breathtaking sea views. The only disappointment was that the near-by swimming spot was not as described. The coast line is indeed 150m from the property but the sea is not accessable at this point. We watched some people clambering over rocks and boulders for about 200m to get to the steps down to the sea. Unfortunately this was not possible for us at our age and level of fitness. If you're young and fit it may not be a problem for you. Why 5 stars? The property is in such an idilic peaceful location. Sitting with your morning coffee or evening glass of wine, on the veranda, looking out to sea, you can't help falling in love.

We had a wonderful 4 day stay at Alessandro’s house with the beautiful garden and amazing views… our 4year old son loved the pool, the playground and- after some time- the big dog ;-) we would love to come back to this great host

Large apartment with a beautiful terrace where we could have breakfast and sometimes dinner. The apartment is equipped with everything, we didn't even need to call Simone as her instructions were clear. Everything is exactly as described. I highly recommend it.

The apartment is in a perfect location, walkable to everything in Ortigia. The apartment was huge, had great air conditioning and wi fi and privacy. The place had two huge bedrooms and bathrooms, the kitchen and living area were large as well, the kitchen had all the necessary appliances and utensils. We've stayed in tons of Airbnb's in Italy, and this apartment is among the very best, if not the best, we have stayed in

We loved staying in Annalisa's apartment. The apartment is spacious, with everything you need and good airco in the bedrooms. It's about 15 minutes walk to the old city center and also about 15 minutes walk to Neopolis. Annalisa was a very welcoming host and we would certainly recommend staying here.

We really enjoyed our stay at Antonella's place! The apartment is beautifully designed and has a spacious yet simultaneously cozy feeling to it. The balcony is large and comfortable and has a nice view. We had a problem with the fridge that stopped working for some reason, but Antonella bought us a new one straight away. The bedroom has a nice big bed and is attached to the bathroom and the balcony. There is a bike path close by that travels parallel to the beautiful cliffs of Siracusa. The cliffs are only about 200 meters of walking away. For swimming I highly recommend the stone beach a bit north of the 'Elephant rock' (search on web), which you can reach by 30 minutes walk from the apartment. It's a beautiful place for swimming and it's rarely crowded There are also excellent pizzerias and supermarkets close by We had a great time and would recommend the place for anyone!

We had a wonderful time at Davide’s place . The apartment is situated in a beautiful garden , with no sound except the cicadas . Nice restaurants nearby and fish market selling fish straight from the boat , which we bought several times - very fresh . We especially liked the Fornace restaurant , right by the sea with smoking Mount Etna on view in the distance . Loved Ortigia too . So atmospheric, even before we stumbled upon a rehearsal for Dolce and Gabbana’s fashion show one morning !!Loads of great cities for sightseeing nearby and we discovered several beautiful beaches in the nature reserve . Davide was very helpful and thoughtful and we enjoyed our stay very much . Thank you

We loved our stay at Gianna's place in Ortigia. Perfect location, spacious and clean apartment, great comms. Flexible check in time, helped us store our bags on our last day after check out. Would stay again!

Perfect apartment location to explore Siracusa. Highly recommend.

Sara and Giovanni's place is wonderful! The location is top notch and it is so much bigger than you'd expect. It was clean and beautiful. Sara kindly gave us so many wonderful local recommendations that were always fantastic! We could not recommend this stay more!
