THE SPACE Nestled in a beautifully restored 1890s building, Suite 18 spans about 80 square meters and combines classical architecture with contemporary flair. \*Main floor\* Step inside to an inviting open-plan living area featuring: A modern, fully equipped kitchen and dining space. A cozy lounge with vaulted ceilings, a large, comfortable sofa (which converts into a double bed), two armchairs, and a flat-screen TV. A balcony overlooking the sea and harbor, the ideal spot to sip your morning coffee or enjoy an evening aperitif as fishing boats glide by. A round, extendable dining table sits near the balcony, perfect for breakfast with sunlight streaming in or a candlelit dinner with sea views. On the balcony, a small table for two invites you to soak up the sun and sea breeze while watching the rhythm of daily life in Ortigia’s harbor. A modern bathroom with a spacious shower completes the main floor. \*Mezzanine\* Upstairs, the master bedroom offers: A comfortable Italian Matrimoniale bed (160x 190 cm).

Bright & Airy: Sunlight and sea breeze fill the rooms even in winter. Authentically Local: Walk to the morning market, sip espresso by the sea, and live like a true Sicilian. Fully Equipped for Long Stays: Ideal for remote work or a peaceful retreat. Serene & Stylish: A private, inspiring space featured in the online interior design magazine 'Apartment Therapy' as “A Restored Italian Seaside Apartment.” Whether you're planning a romantic weekend or a month-long getaway, Suite 18 provides everything you need for a relaxing stay. With a soothing atmosphere in every corner, this space is designed to adapt to your needs, offering comfort, privacy, and an ambience that beautifully captures the essence of Sicily. THE SURROUNDING AREA: The apartment is situated in one of the most fascinating areas of the magical island of Ortigia. Just steps away are Piazza Duomo, the Temple of Apollo, and the Aretusa Fountain. In just a few minutes, you can wander through a maze of charming streets, enriched by stunning Baroque palaces, churches, secret courtyards, shops, restaurants, and bars. At the Marina, located just a few meters from the building, you can rent a boat or take a guided boat tour to enjoy our beautiful sea. Less than a five-minute walk away, you'll find an elegant and well-organised beach club where you can sunbathe and swim in one of the most beautiful areas of Ortigia (Solarium Zefiro Lounge Bar, Via della Marina di Ortigia). A delightful little beach, Calarossa Beach, is about 15 minutes away on foot, or you can reach it by bus, which runs every 10 minutes around the island (bus 110). If you love Sicilian cuisine, the area offers an abundance of restaurants and lovely cafes. For a local experience, you can shop at our colourful daily market, just about three minutes away, where you will find fresh fruits, vegetables, fish, and other typical products, all while immersing yourself in a unique folkloric atmosphere. "Suite 18" is conveniently located about 10 minutes by car from the A18 highway, making it an ideal starting point for day trips: Noto (30 minutes), Marzamemi (45 minutes), Vendicari Nature Reserve (40 minutes), Palazzolo (25 minutes), Ragusa, Modica, and Scicli (approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes). If you’re a fan of the sea, within 20 minutes by car, you can reach some of the most beautiful seaside areas in Syracuse (Terrauzza, Fontane Bianche, and Arenella). Should you prefer less touristy beaches, I would be happy to recommend my favourite spots. MOVING AROUND: While everything is within a very short walking distance, cycling enthusiasts will find two bicycles available. Additionally, you will find several options for renting scooters or Vespas nearby. You can also organise a ride in an Apecar, a fun three-wheeled vehicle (with driver) that is typical of this area. If you wish to rent a car upon arrival, two car rental agencies are located just a few meters from the apartment. PARKING: Near the apartment, there are several parking alternatives. If you prefer to park free of charge, the nearest free parking area is in Via Riva Forte Gallo (about 4 minutes from the apartment). If you are looking for a car park, the nearest one is Marina Parking (2 euros per h.), a two-minute walk from Suite18; it is a good choice if you need to unload your luggage at the apartment. The Talete parking (Lungomare Elio Vittorini, in Ortigia) and the Molo S. Antonio parking ( via Bengasi / via Rodi, on the mainland) are both about a 5-minute walk from the apartment, and they are much larger (1.50 euros per hour, 15 euros per day). Less than 10 minutes from Suite18, you will also find a private garage, Garage la Mesa (via dei Mergulensi 14). In Ortigia, you can park for free in the spots with white lines. The nearest free parking area is next to Talete Parking. Avoid parking in areas marked with yellow lines for residents; you can park in the blue-lined spots by purchasing a ticket from a tobacconist. CHECK-IN/CHECK-OUT Check-in is from 3 PM to 8 PM; check-out is at 10 AM. I will do my best to accommodate your needs whenever possible. I always greet my guests in person and give them a tour of the apartment. Self-check-in is available upon request. There is a lockbox near the entrance, and I will send you detailed instructions before your arrival. I will also be available to assist you if you need help. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the apartment: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Free offsite parking - Limo/town car service - Car not required - Wheelchair-accessible parking available - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Freezer - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 2 private bathrooms - Bidet - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundromat nearby ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair - Printer ### Climate control - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - One pet total (up to 22 lbs per pet) ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - 1 accessible parking space - Elevator - Handrails in stairways - Smooth flooring in public areas - Well-lit path to entrance - Wheelchair-accessible parking - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Unlimited smartphone data usage ### Location highlights - In the city center - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near the airport - Near the bay - Near the marina - Near the ocean - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Bicycles - Boat - Golf - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Swimming nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Bicycles - Double-glazed windows - Unit size: 861 square feet ## Similar properties ![2 bedrooms, iron/ironing board, WiFi, bed sheets](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/24000000/23590000/23589900/23589875/47f97bb7.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cathedral of Ortigia luxury apartment terrace WI-FI free Ortigia - Kitchen - Washer - Air conditioning - Parking available 9.4 Exceptional 38 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-16&endDate=2025-12-17&selected=23589875&PinnedHotelID=23589875&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/43000000/42460000/42459100/42459028/dfab0b51.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Maniace Apartment Ortigia - Kitchen - Washer - Air conditioning - Outdoor space 10 Exceptional 3 reviews CA $233 CA $310 total includes taxes & fees Dec 5 - Dec 6 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-05&endDate=2025-12-06&selected=42459028&PinnedHotelID=42459028&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Marina](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/85000000/84110000/84101600/84101518/7bc75b4d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lovely apartment in the heart of Ortigia.

Markets a few minutes away, as are sufficient restaurants, bars & cafes for a (very) extended stay. Thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you. ##### Ron G.

The super high ceilings are beautiful. The view of the Marina is very pleasant. The kitchen is well equipped, especially if you like to cook, as we do. Local indoor and outdoor markets are close and provide all types of fish, meats, and vegetables. Maria Teresa is one of the best hosts we’ve ever encountered. She made all aspects of our two week stay great. ##### John Z. Stayed 12 nights in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### james g.

The apartment is in a great location. It’s spotless and modern. Has two nice full bathrooms. Pretty view of the marina. The owner Maria Teresa meets you at the apartment and explains everything fully, along with recs on restaurants, attractions, etc. She lives offsite but responds quickly to any queries. ##### james g.

Nov 4, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Close to paradise Not only was this a beautiful apartment with beautiful furnishings in a beautiful setting, but it was also the most completely equipped rental I have ever encountered: bicycle helmets and pump, shopping cart, first aid kit, spices and condiments, dog bed and food bowls, endless recommendations- I could go on and on. Maria Teresa is a fabulous and accommodating host. I was so sorry to leave. ##### Gretchen W. Stayed 9 nights in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Elizabeth M. Oct 27, 2018 #### Brilliant location, lovely, spacious, well equipped flat with view over harbour We very much enjoyed our week in Suite18. Ideal for exploring Ortigia and Siracusa on foot and southern Sicily by car. The daily market was a joy and we cooked in the flat as well as eating out in the many excellent restaurants close by. Maria Teresa was very welcoming and gave us lots of helpful suggestions on what to do, see, eat and where. The flat is light, spacious, comfortable, quiet and beautifully decorated. From the little balcony overlooking part of the harbour, where some of the fishing boats moored, there was always something to watch and we were able to eat there on several days. We highly recommend Suite 18. ##### Elizabeth M.

Our apartment was very special and Maria, our host went out of her way to help us. We are in our 70s and traveled alone so her guidance was so appreciated during our one month vacation. Every convenience was provided and the neighborhood had markets, beautiful shops and cafes and a laundry within steps. Weather wise, March is transitional. Some days were cool and rainy and not everything was open but we had the streets to ourselves! We especially enjoyed our terrace with a spritz and our view. The sunsets were spectacular. We’d highly recommend this apartment ##### Susan L.

Overlooking harbor with balcony. Perfect location for walking Ortigia. Close to cafes, shops, beach and landmarks. Classy decorated roomy apt. Very clean, fresh and bright! You couldn't ask for a better host then Maria Teresa! Great communication from booking to departure. Maria Teresa went out of her way to make sure we were happy. At her apt she had all the information about any aspect of Syracuse and the Ortiga island. Maria even took the time to text me more favorites. She truly was a Super Host❣ ##### Phyllis S.

Mar 25, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect apartment in Syracuse The apartment was great. Very comfortable, spacious and with a beautiful view. Location is great too, close to the centre and all the best restaurants. We had a car with us and initially were concerned about parking, driving and ZTL areas. Everything worked out incredibly smooth. The host registered us for a day of our arrival so we could unload our bags. Afterwards we parked across the st Lucia bridge on the mainland, 10 min walk from the apartment. Very easy and convenient. If we are ever back in this amazing town, the best in Sicily, we would definitely stay there again. OK, I will suggest one small change: The kitchen needs lids for the pots and a spatula. Then it would be well equipped. ##### Eva K. Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alanah H. May 4, 2018 #### Fabulous! Grazie Mille Maria Teresa Your stylish and oh so comfortable apartment made our stay in Suite 18 extremely memorable. Congratulations on presentation and cleanliness of the apartment - a home away from home. Watching the fishermen and passersby from your balcony was an absolute delight - and a photographers dream. You have made such an impression! Communication, organisation, friendliness, restaurant recommendations and places we should visit were outstanding. Maria Teressa, we cannot praise you highly enough and recommend you to prospective renters. Your details will certainly be passed on to our friends in Australia. Fino a quando ci incontriamo di nuovo Alanah & Patricia Australia ##### Alanah H.
