About this property
Riva Sea View Apartment by Wonderful Italy
Pure elegance and charm with a lovely panoramic view of the sea which separates Siracusa from Ortigia island.
No details have been left to chance in our apartment, which includes balconies overlooking the Darsena and the elegant former Posts and Telegraphs building. It is located on the second floor of a building in the oldest area of the Greek city of Siracusa, Ortigia. The house has unique design items made worth mentioning, such as marble and Artemide, including original Tulip Saarinen branded tables, in addition to elegance and charm. The entrance gives way to the living area, characterized by colors matching the landscape that guests can admire from the balcony, and furnished with a comfortable sofa bed and an armchair next to a wonderful marble fireplace. Next to it there is access to the kitchen, equipped with every comfort such as a dishwasher and a microwave, with a dining table lit by a chandelier. The bedroom comes with a queen-sized bed and a divider in beige shades, a TV, and above all boasts a walk-in wardrobe and two balconies which allow the room to be flooded with light. Finally, a brand-new and refined full bathroom with a large shower completes the property.

For lovers of relaxation and the sea, eastern Sicily and the area surrounding Syracuse offer everything one could wish for. Starting from the ancient Greek city and heading south, the best-equipped and most beautiful beaches to explore are Minareto, Fanusa, Arenella, and Fontane Bianche, whose name derives from the natural freshwater springs and the particular white color of the sand. On the island of Ortigia, you will also find equipped solariums (Zefiro and Nettuno) and a small free beach called Cala Rossa. Further south, some 30 km away, we find some beautiful unspoiled and inaccessible beaches, including Calamosche, Vendicari with its Natural Fauna Oasis, and the beautiful San Lorenzo. For culture enthusiasts, the Greek theatre of Syracuse and the entire archaeological park with the Ear of Dionysius, a cave carved into the limestone in the shape of a human ear, the Paolo Orsi museum, and the Latomie dei Cappuccini, as well as Ortigia itself with its historical and cultural beauty as well as its landscape, are worth a visit. Not to be overlooked is Noto, the seafront with the tuna fishery of Avola, and finally the seaside village of Marzamemi. In short, Sicily is a land to explore and its natural and cultural beauties are treasures to fill your eyes with.
The airport of Catania Fontanarossa is about 60 km far away, while the “Comiso Pio la Torre” airport is 110 km far. The train station of Siracusa is 1 km away from Ortigia, as well as the interbus station connected with the airports.

A wonderful corner apartment with huge windows that allowed the sun to shine in all day. Very clean unit. Located just inside Ortigia so easy to access upon arrival with a car.
Location was excellent to walk to everything and great view of the water. The room was a good size but no lock box so be prepared to meet with someone to check in and out, you should ask for an extra set of keys then , my wife and I did different things some days and very difficult with one key to get back in and power the apartment. With only one set of keys.
This was a large apartment, so after a couple of months of travel it gave us some room to stretch out, relax and clean our gear. It sort of felt grand. Perfectly located with a great view and the large windows providing beautiful ventilation. Easy to get to and access. Although the people you talk to and the messages you write don’t necessarily seem to link, we had no problems with arrival or departure.
My husband and I had an amazing time at this beautiful apartment . Perfect location with walking distance to where all the action is . We will definitely be back next year . Our best VRBO stay ever . Highly recommend
This is an immaculate high quality apartment. We would not hesitate to recommend it.
The parking is free but not always easy to find a space. We were lucky!
We loved the easy access to the fabulous fruit, veg and fish market every morning.
The apartment was very nice and beautiful! There is not a good explanation of where to park and how to get your luggage to the apartment though…that part was very frustrating and needs improvement. If they would have given better parking instructions rather than just addresses (one of the locations just led to a gated off area) it would have been better…also arranging for a taxi or something to transfer luggage is needed.
After being worried about the property not having many reviews, we were pleased that the property was as per the images. The check-in process was very smooth as we communicated with the property managers, Wonderful Italy, by WhatsApp, and met at the apartment. A few small improvements would elevate the experience: more dishwasher tablets because I think the previous people ran the dishwasher without tablets, so some dishes in the cupboard weren't very clean. Dishwashing liquid was supplied. More of a previous guest issue. The wi-fi was ok the first night, and then almost inoperable thereafter, so the advertised "smart working" wasn't possible. Needs to be sorted. Good washing machine. No detergent supplied, so we left some for subsequent guests. The double glazing and air-conditioning work really well, so the apartment is really quiet on the second floor. Very spacious. Plenty of crockery and cutlery for a couple cooking simple meals. A couple of larger knives would be useful. Great location, close to the market and other shops. Very enjoyable.
The host was helpful and responsive to our requests. Surprised by the limited amenities at the property such as only one set of bath towels for each person for a 5-night stay, only 2 rolls of toilet paper for 2 guests for a 5-night stay. We were denied any request for towel change or additional toilet papers. Most unusual in our experience with B&B or self catering properties in Europe.
We stayed for 5 nights and really enjoyed it. You can't find a better location in Ortigia! So convenient! We also worked form there, WIFI was very good! Would recommend Wonderful Italy to everyone!
