Everything was fine except the fact that there was no mini refrigerator in the room which is pretty necessary on hot summer days.

Easy to park across the street in the municipal parking lot. Great location to visit Ortigia and Syracuse. The building does not look like much, but the B&B is just fine.

Lovely and very convenient place to stay in Ortigia with parking nearby. Great host who speaks English, very friendly and very helpful. Some coffee facilities and cookies/croissants would be a great idea, since the establishment is called "B&B", which means Bed and Breakfast. Overall, it's a great place to stay! Thank you.

We loved our stay here. The property is in an ideal location for exploring Ortigia, close to parking, the water, and right next door to an amazing and vibrant market. The B&B itself is lovely and is guarded by an adorable cat named Jean Paul. Sebastiano is a lovely host who helped us when we had trouble finding the property and even showed us an ideal place to park, which is important if you're visiting Ortigia via car. He also had excellent suggestions for places to visit both in Ortigia and near Syracuse. We would happily recommend this to anyone visiting the city.

We arrived, having not really booked! I had kept the address in my emails. And frankly, we do not regret our choice. The house is super well located, right in the heart of Ortigia. Very good welcome from Sebastiano: very cool and good advice especially for Etna. Very nice breakfast, nicely prepared. Ortigia is a wonderful place, one of our favorites. We will return, that's for sure! See you soon.

Small B&B with two nice rooms. Good breakfast tailored to your liking. Friendly, extremely helpful hosts, Antonella speaks fluent German. Located right in front of the daily fruit, vegetable, and fish market on the edge of the old town of Ortigia. Not so bad parking options within 300-600m. Can be recommended.

The two owners are very courteous and helpful. We didn't do a guided hiking tour with Sebastiano, but it would have certainly been a unique experience. Particularly nice is that the Ortigia market is right around the corner, open every day except Sunday.

I had a wonderful stay at the B&B Al Mercato di Ortigia. The room and the entire accommodation are very cozy and perfectly located for visiting the wonderful market of Ortigia and other city attractions. Antonella spoils her guests with a delicious breakfast (cheese, egg, fruit etc.) and even serves tasty homemade jam. Antonella and her husband Sebastiano are very warm and helpful hosts. I would come back anytime. Thank you very much for the great time.

A central, very pleasant, comfortable and clean accommodation where you can rest and sleep comfortably. The owner was very kind and provided me with a map of the city and information about the neighborhoods and places I would visit in Ortigia, and also about other cities where I would go when leaving there. I recommend it 100%.

The room is beautiful, very well furnished and also very clean. The problem is that it is located in a dilapidated building. The room is located in an apartment on the first floor, unfortunately the stairs are smelly and creepy at night. To summarize the situation: if I had to give a score to the room, I would give it a 9 because it lacks a refrigerator, but the rest...

We stayed in this establishment located in a strategic position in Ortigia. Sebastiano, the owner, proved to be a friendly person right from the start, always available and very professional. He was able to provide us with all the best information about places to dine and nearby attractions to visit. I recommend this place to anyone. A big hug to Sebastiano and, above all, we will come back to visit you soon.

I had a great time at Antonella and Sebastiano's place! They are both very nice and helpful. Room and bathroom are excellent, also the location of the B&B, situated in Ortigia, at the beginning of the island and therefore easily reachable. I will come back!

Grazie Friederike, è stato un piacere averti nostra ospite, speriamo di rivederti presto! Tanti auguri per il tuo lavoro, Antonella e Sebastiano.

At first glance, the building from the '60s appears a bit neglected, but upon entering the B&B, you are welcomed by the warmth and professionalism of the manager who, with his knowledge of the places, history, and attention to the environment, positively captures you. Located in the lively market of Ortigia, it is in an absolutely favorable position for movements, both on foot to discover the old town and for guided excursions, for which the B&B manager is a well-prepared and qualified guide. Excellent and abundant breakfast, the lady is sweet and helpful. Two small suggestions for improvement: remove the electric air fresheners in the corridor and replace the shower doors, which are too large for the size of the shower tray. I recommend it. I will come back.

It's the third time I come back to this Al Mercato di Ortigia B&B, it never disappoints me, on the contrary, I found it even more advanced. Strategic position in the heart of Ortigia, sea just a stone's throw away, not to mention the intoxicating scents of spices coming from the market. Numerous comforts: WiFi, air conditioning, TV, parking space, optimal cleanliness of the room and common areas, amazing breakfast. My taste buds are still having fireworks for those freshly baked croissants. The excursions in the company of the legendary Sebastiano are equally amazing. I give 10 to the structure and 10 to the owners, very kind and available at any time, it's like being at home.

I stayed with my family in March at this Al Mercato di Ortigia B&B and we had a great time. Human warmth and truly genuine hospitality all at an affordable price. The good weather allowed us to climb in t-shirts, it was fantastic, as well as the excellent limestone offered by the cliffs a short distance from Siracusa. Perfect breakfast. My wife fell in love with Ortigia and I with the good food that can be eaten in those parts.

Located inside an anonymous building in the heart of the picturesque Ortigia market, it is strategically positioned to visit Syracuse. The managers are very kind, friendly, and always available, their information is extremely useful to make the most of a stay in Syracuse. The interiors are furnished in a youthful way with some vintage furniture giving a really cozy atmosphere. Some small adjustments would be needed to keep this small B&B excellent.
