“Suite 18”, charming Ortigia apartment with spectacular sea view balcony.

THE SPACE:
Experience Sicilian charm in our sea view Ortigia apt with modern amenities, full kitchen, free Wi-Fi, A/C, beach gear & more for families, couples & digital nomads.
Nestled in the heart of the picturesque Ortigia, this sea-view apartment blends classical charm with contemporary flair. Situated on the first floor within a stunning 1890s edifice, "Suite 18" spans approximately 80 square meters and is a haven for those seeking elegance and comfort.
As you step through the front door, you are greeted by an inviting open-plan layout featuring a well-appointed kitchen with all the essentials needed to whip up delectable Sicilian dishes. Adjacent to this culinary space is a delightful dining area that flows into a luminous living room adorned with vaulted ceilings and access to a balcony where one can savour awe-inspiring views of the bustling harbour and serene sea.
This living space is further enhanced by cosy seating, including a plush sofa and armchairs, along with a large flat-screen TV—perfect for unwinding or delving into our selection of books available in multiple languages. The balcony itself is an idyllic spot for enjoying your morning espresso or indulging in sunset aperitifs.
Witness the daily maritime dance from your private outdoor area furnished with seating, embracing every golden moment under the Sicilian sun.
Sophistication extends to the elegant bathroom that complements the living quarters, boasting a spacious shower designed for ultimate relaxation.
Ascend to the mezzanine level where tranquillity reigns in the master bedroom accompanied by an en-suite bathroom equipped with another generous shower and ample wardrobe space.

Some essential food products are also available (salt, pepper, olive oil, oregano, chilli pepper, balsamic vinegar, coffee, sugar, water, tea and herbal teas, croissants) a bottle of water in the fridge and some almond cookies, typical of the area, as a welcome.

BATHROOMS
Both bathrooms have a large shower, sink, toilet and bidet.
Some personal hygiene products (shampoo, shower gel, toilet paper, soap) and a hair dryer(one for each bathroom) are available for guest use.

LINEN
You will find quality bed/bath/kitchen linens included in the price: for stays of at least 5 days, you will also have a complete change of towels; for longer stays, I will provide you with a weekly change of towels and sheets (no extra charge).
The linen is professionally washed to meet sanitary standards and remove bacteria and spores ("LAUNDRY SPA", Avola, SR).

LAUNDRY
The apartment is not equipped with a washing machine but you will find a water laundry at a short walking distance. If you prefer to hand wash your clothes, you'll find two basins, some detergent, a drying rack, an ironing board, and an iron in the apartment.

Hot/cold air conditioning system in all rooms.

BICYCLES

TRANSFER
Transfer service from/to Catania airport with a professional driver available (price on request).

CHILDREN
Suite18 is an excellent choice for a romantic holiday or two couples of friends. It is also an ideal location for a family holiday: the little ones will find a travel cot, a high chair, a changing mat, baby wipes, plug covers, some baby care products (baby shampoo and bath foam) and a basket full of toys.
All these amenities are free of charge. Children up to 2 years stay for free.

YOUR SAFETY IS OUR MAIN CONCERN!
We have a very high CLEANING STANDARD and use disinfecting and sanitizing products.

THE SURROUNDING AREA
Although the apartment is tranquil (the balcony overlooks the sea and the windows give onto a bright internal courtyard ), it is located in one of the most animated and fascinating areas of the magical island of Ortigia: Piazza Duomo, the Temple of Apollo, the Aretusa Fountain are steps away and, in a few minutes you'll be lost in a myriad of charming streets enriched by wonderful Baroque palaces, churches, secret courtyards, shops, restaurants and bars. At the Marina, a few meters from the building, you can rent a boat or take a guided boat tour and enjoy our beautiful sea.

Less than 5 minutes on foot, an elegant and well-organised Lido, will allow you to sunbathe and swim in one of the most beautiful areas of Ortigia (Solarium Zefiro LoungeBar, Via della Marina di Ortigia); less than 20 minutes on foot you can reach a delightful, little beach (Calarossa Beach) which is located on the other end of Ortigia. As an alternative, it is possible to get there by bus which makes the tour of the island every 10 minutes.
If you love Sicilian cuisine, the area offers an infinite variety of restaurants and beautiful cafes and, if you like living like a local, you can shop in our colourful daily market (about 3 minutes walking distance) where you will find fresh fruit, vegetables, fish and other typical products and immerse yourself in a unique folkloristic atmosphere.
"Suite 18" is about 10 minutes by car from the A18 and is the ideal starting point for day trips to Noto (30 minutes), Marzamemi (45 minutes), Vendicari nature reserve (40 minutes), Palazzolo (25 minutes ), Ragusa, Modica, Scicli (about 1h, 30). If you love the sea, in 20 minutes by car you can reach some of the most beautiful seaside areas of Syracuse (Terrauzza, Fontane Bianche, Arenella). If you prefer less touristy beaches, I will recommend my favourite places.

"Suite 18" is easily accessible by car, with free paid parking areas just a few minutes from the apartment but, if you do not want to use it, you can easily reach all the points of interest in Syracuse on foot.
If you like cycling, you can use the 2 bicycles available; in the immediate vicinity, there are also numerous options for renting a scooter or a “Vespa”. You could also organize a ride with the “ Apecar”, a funny 3-wheeled vehicle (with driver), typical of this area.
If you prefer to rent a car after arrival, a few meters from the apartment, you will find two car rental agencies.

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), and the Molo S. Antonio parking ( via Bengasi / via Rodi) 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 the yellow stripes that indicate the places reserved for residents; you can park in the parking spots with blue lines buying a ticket at a tobacconist.


CHECK-IN/CHECK-OUT
Check-in is from 3 pm to 8 pm and check-out is at 10 am; whenever possible, I will do my best to meet your needs.
I am always glad to welcome my guests in person and to show them the apartment; SELF-CHECK-IN is AVAILABLE ON REQUEST: there is a small combination box near the entrance; I’ll send you detailed instructions before your arrival and I'll be in touch with you in case you need help.

I own another apartment in Ortigia, located in a beautiful pedestrian square (Piazza Mergulensi): "SUITE LA PIAZZA" (Property no. 8809430).

---LONG STAYS---
Suite18 is the ideal place to relax and recharge.
It is a quiet and comfortable home located in the heart Ortigia, a magical place with a unique atmosphere and a mild climate all year round. If you love the sun and you need to slow down, the apartment is ideal for LONG STAYS.
A weekly change of linen is included in the price.

SUITE18 has been recently published in the online American interior design magazine "Apartment Therapy" (http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/a-sea-side-day-dream-inducing-italian-apartment-247660).

Hidden November Gem
Ortigia in November was magical and this suite is meticulous. Every detail was thought of. Enjoying wine while sitting on the balcony wrapped up the nights perfectly. The host helped us with additional travel questions when I had emails in Italian I couldn’t make sense of. Her recommendations abound… we are hesitant to share how perfect this was in the “off” season as we want to save it for ourselves.

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.

Superb Property, Superb Host!
Suite 18 is an amazing, spacious, contemporary apartment in a perfect location for exploring the stunning island of Ortigia and the wider area. The property is beautifully furnished and fully equipped and has a lovely homely feel from the second you walk through the front door. One of the highlights is the balcony overlooking the harbour which is perfect for breakfast, morning coffee, lunch or a sunset dinner and which floods the apartment with light and a cool sea breeze. The quality of the property is mirrored by the quality of the host, Maria, who was simply exceptional. Both before and during our stay, Maria was on hand to provide us with everything we needed to know, including lots of recommendations for cultural attractions, cafes, bars, restaurants, beaches, parking, etc. This lady really cares about Sicily, Ortigia and her apartment and goes above and beyond to maximise the enjoyment of her guests. Without doubt, the very best host we’ve encountered anywhere on our travels. The only downside is that we couldn’t stay longer!

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.

Suite 18 is a beautiful, well appointed apartment on an island designed for passegiarre. It is located near markets and restaurants so you can easily eat in or dine out.

Magical Island stay
Ortigia is a lovely, welcoming place. 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

Maria Teresa is a very gracious and well organized host. She offers you so much information of the area, you wish you had more time. The apartment is very comfortable with a well stocked kitchen which has everything you need to cook or there are several delicious restaurants close by. It's location is within walking distance to just about everything on the island. We loved going to the open air fish market each morning and it's just minutes away. My wife and I spent three wonderful nights here. High praise!
