Beautiful and stylish villa with many comforts. Basics (coffee, wine, oil, shampoo etc.) were provided. Easy communication with Peppe who was very helpful. We had a nice stay.

Bel endroit, très bonne réactivité de Giusseppe
Un peu bruyant et pas super bien placé

  Giuseppe war ein wunderbarer Gastgeber und wir haben unseren Aufenthalt in diesem kleinen aber feinen Haus sehr genossen. Die Räume, Ausstattung entspricht durchaus den Bildern nur leider präsentierte sich das... read more eher kleine Häuschen und insb. die Umgebung nicht (mehr) ganz so makellos. Die Gegend um das Haus war während unserem Besuch (Oktober) extrem ruhig. Ein Auto scheint unverzichtbar.

  This is a very nice house with a great comfortable and shady outdoor area. The house is very well equipped for cooking and BBQ, even some great coffee and wine... read more were provided at our arrival. Giuseppe was very helpful with everything - restaurant tips and attractions - and super fast with his answers. We can recommend the area as well, it is only a 15 min drive to Ortigia with restaurants and shops. Thank you Giuseppe, that was excellent!

  Great holidays at Giuseppe‘s place. Very close to a number of nice beaches.Cool outdoor kitchen and a lot to discover in the area.
Thanks again!

  My wife and I stayed here for the first week of September 2020

Giuseppe made our stay as welcoming as he could, he communicated very well with us... read more and didn’t let us go without anything we needed. Great guy, he was even patient with me trying my poor attempt at speaking Italian 🙂

We loved the position of the property, with a few shops and beach bar in Ealing distance and it’s also perfectly located to have the holiday by the sea vibe but dip in and out of Ortigia for lunches and day trips.
Stunning place to wander around and we recommend a boat tour.

The beach near by is small and rocky but families love it and it’s fair to find a sandy pocket to make your own.

The beach bar above the beach (Samoa) included is as if we were family. So lovely to feel this when we didn’t know our surroundings.

The property is very cool and styled well. I’d maybe suggest a larger corner sofa area maybe for those chill out moments away from the pool but it’s not a deal breaker.

The kitchen has some coffee and jams, biscuits and small gifts (nice touch) and was smart and felt new.

The pool is fantastic and gently heated . Our 3 year old loved splashing around on the pink flamingo in there all day. It was so much fun.

We got the impression that Giuseppe is making this his ongoing improvement project, you can see a professional approach straight away.

Grazie Giuseppe
We hope to be back one day

Had a great time at Giuseppe's apartment, the house was really clean and Siracusa is lovely!

Alles sehr liebevoll eingerichtet und der Aussenbereich ist herrlich/ die Kinder haben sich rundum wohl gefühlt und der Kontakt mit Giuseppe war super! Vor allem,weil wir aufgrund des Wetters früher... read more weiter gezogen sind und er uns entgegenkam mit einer verfrühten Abreise!

  The location of the villa is ok, walking distance to the nearby rocky beach but the town itself is a bit sleepy and not much to write about. The pool... read more is 8x4 m2 and quite small and primarily for kids. The villa itself is also quite small and only suitable for families with small kids.

The villa should be better equipped and better maintained. We were not fully satisfied with the cleanliness as the outdoor kitchen was not cleaned in a long time. Overall, the villa has good potential but we were left disappointed during our stay.

Giuseppe is a good host and responds promptly to any questions and was quite helpful.

Overall not good value for money as it is relatively expensive compared to similar villas . Hopefully the host takes the feedback positively as the villa has the potential to be really good. We booked the villa based on the past reviews and I do think that if maintained and better equipped, the future guests will really enjoy the stay there.

Really Excellent. The appartment was clean and tidy. The size and setup of all the rooms was great. The terrace was excellent. Giuseppe has a chalk board on the wall... read more in the appartment with recommendations for beaches, restaurants and alike. Herbs and spices left by the previous guests had been left tidily in the kitchen for us to use - this was very much appreciated. The appartment had everything we needed.

Location is great. In and amongst a nice part of town with shops and restaurants, we felt safe throughout our stay. From the terrace you can hear the bustle of the streets below, but this was not unpleasant. It is a short walk (<10min) to the island of Ortigia, and similarly within walking distance to the archaeological site. We drove in and out of Syracuse a few times during our stay, and though (Hidden by Airbnb) maps took us a diferent route everytime, it's actually pretty painless, and so probably fair to describe as well located for driving in and out of the city. The coach and train station are well within walking distance <5min. Driving in Sicily requires a bit of courage and the busy one way system around the appartment requires some care and patients to navigate when looking for a space, but we managed to find one within 2min or so each time.

I can't imagine a better place to stay in Syracuse. I will certainly recommend this to friends and family.
