A fantastic set of 3 apartments that we used as 1 living space for 6 people (3 couples). Each apartment has doors that isolate them from each other. They are all on the same level, 2nd story. Each has a functioning kitchen, living space, TV & bedroom. The apartment had comfortable beds and great air conditioning. The washing machine has a pay meter that takes only 1€ (30min) and 50¢ (15min) coins. The wi-fi was fast and reliable.
The location is 10 minute walk to any part of Ortigia. A 30 minute walk to the Greek theatre (Teatro) and the Ear of Dionysus. A 20 minute walk to Stazzione Siracusa. We never needed our car which we parked in the parcheggio over the bridges on Riva Nozario Saura for 15€ per day. A 5 minute walk to the apartments. Be aware that the apartments are on a pedestrian alley. You can not drive up to the front door.
Be prepared if you arrive on a Sunday to park in Siracusa as Ortigia is a ZTL that day. Marcello was a fabulous host and went above and beyond. He met us at a parcheggio on the Siracusa side and ferried the 6 of us and all our luggage to the apartment. He graciously helped carry our luggage from his car and up the stairs. We are very grateful to him and his wife Liza for taking time on a Sunday to help us.
I highly recommend Aretusa apartments.
