Pro: Great location, and lovely big terrace (although very hot in the peak of the day). Beds were comfortable and air-conditioning worked well in the bedrooms.
Contro: Lots of narrow stairs, challenging with older guests and children. While it was advertised as three bedrooms, one bedroom was also the living area, this was impractical, while another was standalone on the terrace (up stairs). Showers were small (as with most places in Italy).

A wonderful place to stay in Ortigia. Highly recommended!
Pro: An easy 10/10. The location is great. The apartment is spacious, well equipped and nicely decorated. The AC, which is a must in August, worked very well. The beds were very comfortable. Fabio was a great host. Met us for the check-in and presented lots of suggestions on where to eat, drink etc. He was easy to communicate with and very responsive. We had two incidents which both were handled efficiently: 1. we forgot the keys inside the house. Fabio came to the rescue in 10 minutes. 2. we had a shortage of various soaps. Fabio delivered this within 30 minutes. All in all a great place to stay for experiencing Ortigia / Syracuse. If we ever come back, we know where to stay :)

Overall, it’s a charming and well-located place that works perfectly as a base for exploring the area, with the terrace
Pro: We had a lovely stay at Dione Apartments. The location is excellent—totally central, yet quiet enough to relax. While the kitchen and living area are on the small side, the very spacious and beautifully furnished terrace more than makes up for it. The apartment feels newly renovated, very clean, and has been thoughtfully furnished with stylish, comfortable touches.
Contro: A couple of things to note: cooking is limited, as there’s no stove hood exhaust to the outside, so it’s not ideal for preparing full meals. Also, a railing on the bottom section of the stairs would improve safety, especially for families or older guests.

The beautiful terrace surpassed our expectations!
Pro: We really enjoyed our stay at this apartment. The terrace was superb, the kitchen well equipped and the bed very comfortable. The apartment is in a very good position to access the local squares, restaurants, shops and bars as well as the market and the beach.
Contro: We would have appreciated a bed change in the 2 weeks we were there. I considered washing them myself but, although there was a clothes horse, there were no pegs. We had 1 tea towel and 1 set of bath towels which we washed ourselves throughout the holiday. The noise from the nearby renovations was very loud but fortunately it looked as if they were coming to an end.
