What a stunning apartment and location. A beatiful courtyard too and 50 steps from the famous swimming sports. We were incredibly confortable and felt at home in our cozy hideout..

I felt right at home. seriousness and availability at the top. The location is ecellent because it manages to guarantee tranquility while being close to the important places of artigia. My dog and i had a great time. Nearby there is also the possiblility of bathing using a plataform on the cliff. Thank you Rita for your kind availability.

We really loved this flat and I highly recommend it. Rita, who communicated with us throughout was so friendly and helpful and flexible about check-in. The flat is just a few minutes from the best swim spot and only minutes from cafes, restaurants and shops. But the street is really quiet and the flat is hidden away and peaceful. It was really clean and well equipped, with a welcome bottle of wine as a bonus! The highlight for us was a beautiful private courtyard, we loved relaxing there over breakfast and in the evening. I’d love to go back!.

By far our best stay in Sicily and Rita was absolutely the kindest host! The apartment was so welcoming and aesthetically pleasing – the art, private outdoor plant-filled patio, large bedroom with super comfortable bed, armoire & dresser, varied lighting, fabulous linens, super comfy living room, washing machine & detergent, fully stocked kitchen (not only appliances, but also water, wine, pasta, coffee, tea oils, snacks, etc…!!) The home lacked nothing for our comfort. The Location was ideal for us – the best swimming spot (1 min), open market (5 min), great food store (3 min), numerous restaurants (2-10 min), churches, shops, and sights at every turn. Gift yourself by exploring the multitude of alleys and soaking up the historical relevance of the area. And thank you, Rita! You made our stay most memorable. From your pre-arrival info to the moment you greeted us at the gate, you treated us like friends/family. It goes without saying, we'll be back to Melitza’s!

One of the top Airbnb places we’ve stayed at. Great central location, super comfortable and quiet. Rita concierge was spectacular, being super responsive and advising us on where to go and what to do. Well worth all five stars.

We had an amazing stay at Melitza’s apartment. Rita was our host and the sweetest person you’ll ever meet. She greeted us upon our arrival and gave us great recommendations for places to eat (Schiticchio for the best pizza). She even had a bottle of water, Italian tomato sauce, and spaghetti noodles so we could make a nice dinner at the apartment. The apartment was even better than the pictures. Every detail was thoughtfully curated. The location was perfect for us, close to everything in Ortigia and walkable to the sites we wanted to see in Siracusa. There is a bus (106) that takes you from the bus and train station to within a few minutes walk to the apartment. We had a few questions about how to use the stove and the coffee maker so we texted Rita and she immediately and gracefully helped us out. If you want to stay in a place that feels like home with a good friend to count on while you are there, this is the best place to stay.

A lot of good things to say about this apartment, that I don’t know where to start! First of all, the very warm welcome of Rita and her excellent recommendations for places to eat. Then, the apartment: beautiful, quiet, and perfectly located, close to everything. The decor is lovely without being overdone, and the private patio was a wonderful touch, perfect for enjoying the excellent wine offered by the host. The two beds (main bedroom and living room) are very comfortable and the main bedroom was wonderfully spacious. In short, I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a spotless and well-arranged home away from home. We will definitely come back.
