The Area

There are few town centres in Italy that are as beautiful, as historic or as intriguing as Ortigia, Syracuse's ancient island heart. Remains of Greek temples rub shoulders with sumptuous baroque palaces, labyrinthine streets offer surprise vistas out to sea and open out into splendid piazzas, restaurants, bars and cafés spill out onto the streets, and a daily market offers up a vast array of irresistible local produce. Following its triumph over Athens in 413 BC Syracuse was arguably the most important city in the Mediterranean (and hence perhaps the world). Remains of that period are beautifully preserved on Ortigia, at Neapolis and in the fabulous archaeological museum, all of which are within a few minutes walk or drive of the apartment. Also within easy distance are white sandy beaches, towns such as Noto, Modica and Ragusa, Mount Etna, and much more.

An illustration of a guest book

Ortigia was welcoming, stylish and easy. What stood out was the décor, the cleanliness, the terrace opposite the sea, the amazing view, and the fab services, such as cook and transfers and a person on-hand to ask questions. It was so well-stocked in the kitchen.

AS September 2024

Ortigia is a fine home. We particularly like the location, the friendly and helpful staff, and the very professional and fantastic team at The Thinking Traveller.

Derik Henstra June 2024

Charming! Love the floor-to-ceiling shuttered windows/doors with exquisite views of the Mediterranean. Lovely, attractive appointments throughout and a beautifully well-equipped kitchen. Rooftop deck an added, over-the-top bonus!

S.A. April 2024

Ortigia is wonderfully unique, it is in a great location with waterfront ocean views from the second floor and a rooftop patio. Worked great for grandparents on the top floor and a young couple with a baby in the main floor rooms. All staff were very good in their roles.

G.S. October 2023

The views, bedroom spaces and the terrace at Ortigia were amazing. The location was great.

Verified guest, July 2024

Ortigia is a stunning house in a perfect location by the sea. We will remember those drinks on the terrace forever and we would return for the location and the comfort. The Thinking Traveller's team called us to allow an early check in and provided great recommendations for restaurants. They were super helpful and responsive. Thank you!
