A beautiful, spacey and very stylish apartment in a lively, central part of the city, with a private courtyard for parking your car (great feature!). All the tourist's attractions are within walking distance: 10 minutes to Ortiga and 15 minutes to the Greek theatre, which is really great because you do not have to use the car to get anywhere except out of town (don't even try driving in Ortiga). So in short: for a city-trip holiday this is your perfect location. For a beach holiday you might set different priorities. The rooms with high ceilings have an authentic atmosphere and a lot of beautiful old-fashioned furniture. Kitchen is well-equipped (we loved the ham-cutting machine, but be careful ;-)). The street is quite noisy, but hey, you are in the middle of a bustling town!

There is so much positive to say about our 7 week stay at Casa Gabriella last winter. Onofrio was a genuine great host, showing us around and providing a multitude of information. The apartment was clean, quiet, spacious and well located in the city with regards to shopping or walking to most things including Ortigia and its outside market. The pictures and description are accurate. On arrival Onofrio escorted me out to do some quick food shopping and to get a phone sym card. Onofrio and his wife, Gabriella went out of their way to make us feel at home and we plan to return soon and enjoy all the benefits Casa Gabriella have to offer. While the apartment is not located in Ortigia, it is so close that you benefit from what Ortigia has to offer, and you also benefit from being able to shop at proper food stores and not needing a car hire or cab to get there. Parking can be a nightmare in the town, but a parking spot is available at the apartment which we used when we had a car rental For us this was definitely one of our great travel experiences (in 30 years of travel), and we look forward to coming back in the near future. Thanks again Gabriella and Onofrio

Splendida casa, sembra di respirare l’aria di casa propria. Grandi stanze con altezze elevate ed arredate con gusto. Appartamento spazioso e confortevole con un comodo parcheggio interno. A pochi passi dal centro di Ortigia: consigliatissimo!

abbiamo soggiornato in questo splendido appartamento con un gruppo di amici, ottima accoglienza, disponibilità fantastica dei proprietari, è stato come stare a casa; comodissima la possibilità di parcheggiare all'interno del cortile la nostra auto, Si può raggiungere in breve tempo il centro storico a piedi.Da consigliare noi ci torneremo senz'altro!!!

Four of us stayed here for four nights and had a great time. The apartment is large and furnished in period style and had everything that we needed. Its location is excellent for exploring the historic areas of Siracusa. Onofrio lives next door and was friendly and helpful.

This apartment was stylishly decorated, had 3 large bedrooms, high ceilings, chandeliers and beautiful furniture. Private gated car park was useful. Kitchen and bathroom were modern and well equiped. Location was excellent for walking round Syracusa and Ortigia. Owners were lovely and very helpful Only very minor complaint, was that road was noisy, fine with the windows shut. It is a very lovely place to stay for a week and good location for sightseeing. Need to drive for 20 minutes to get to a beach.

This large apartment is a step back in time where you experence a genuine and generous home, with all that you need for a grand stay in Siracussa. Great location (only minutes walk to historic Oritiga), large rooms, well appointed kitchen, beautiful period furmniture, on site parking , more a home stay than a tourist rental. Very light sleepers might find some road noise at night a worry but we four all slept well. Second bedroom has two built in single beds. Ideal for family who appreciate old world charm.

I stayed at the apartment for 5 nights in September with my husband, my 8 month old and my parents. The apartment is located about a 10 minute walk from Ortiga and is very spacious (much bigger than it looks in the photos). It is also about a 10 minute walk to the Greek theatre. We loved staying here for a number of reasons, - it was situated in a local quiet neighbourhood with good amenities close by - bakery, supermarket, local restaurants - the apartment itself is huge and in a lovely old building with beautiful features (high ceilings, shuttered windows, spacious rooms) - secure gated parking is available at the apartment which meant we never had to worry about the safety of our hire car - the family that own the apartment live next door but were never obtrusive. In fact, they gave us lots of valuable information about the local area and places to visit. - the apartment was very clean and contained everything we needed e.g. fully stocked kitchen, washing machine, microwave. - each of the 2 main bedrooms has air con as well as the dining room/lounge area, which is very effective for those hot days/nights - Wifi available The apartment has one very large double bedroom, a second smaller bedroom with a futon style double bed and a 3rd room which could be a 3rd bedroom as it contains 2 single beds. Communication with the owners was excellent and they were very quick at responding to queries that I sent both over email and later by text. Please note the apartment is located on the 1st floor and there is no lift so bear this in mind if you have a lot of luggage! If there is one thing I would recommend to the owners, it would be to create a slightly more cosy relaxing area, perhaps by moving out the large dining room table from the main reception room and adding another sofa and coffee table instead. I would highly recommend a stay at Casa Gabriella if you are looking for an authentic stay, in an apartment just out of the main tourist area of Ortiga but within easy walking distance of it.

Die Wohnung war sehr geräumig, wie erwartet, sehr stilvoll, Klimaanlagen in den wichtigsten Zimmer, wird gebraucht, die Vermieter sehr bemüht, insgesamt sehr positiv. Die Lage war auch super, man konnte sich Syrakus komplett zu Fuß erlaufen. Allerdings auch wie zu erwarten, italienische Städte sind laut, die Fenster dünn. Alles in allem ist die Wohnung aber gut zu empfehlen.
