Casa Sophia - Ortigia

Casa Sophia is a traditional Sicilian two-floor style house with a sunny terrace overlooking the rooftops of Ortigia. Always related to art, this house was the home of a famous Sicilian painter at the beginning of the last century, and it was later inhabited by a restorer and now owned by a theatre director. Casa Sophia is recommended for guests looking for an original, exclusive and chaos-free environment. It is bright and located in a quaint alley, it consists of a large bedroom with a vaulted ceiling and a classic small balcony overlooking the alley, a living room with a large and comfortable sofa bed, a bathroom and a kitchen with a dining area overlooking a courtyard. The flooring of the house dates back to the early 1900s. The terrace, perfect for lunches and dinners, is furnished with a table, chairs and an umbrella. With all its amenities, Casa Sophia can accommodate up to 4 persons. The famous Piazza Duomo is only 150 meters away. Its location allows guests to reach major sites with historical value within a few minutes of walking. Located approximately 200 meters away from the sea, it is also extremely close to the beautiful Church of St. John the Baptist, known as “San Giovannello” , the old Jewish baths, the Puppet theatre, bars, shops, restaurants, the shuttle stop, a supermarket, a bakery and much more.

Lots of Charm and Great Location
We loved our stay at Casa Sophia--as others have mentioned, it has a sweet quirkyness to it. We enjoyed dinner on the terrace and loved the location--so close to everything you want to see and experience. The checkin and checkout process was super easy. We highly recommend this property.

An absolute gem of a place in a superb location
The property is right in the middle of the historic Ortigia Island in Siracusa and near all the sites. It is beautifully arranged and has lovely personal touches, even a bit quirky! There is a roof terrace with planting and steep steps, but as it was fairly cool on our visit we weren’t able to make best use of it. The welcome was outstanding and friendly and helpful, and they kept in touch with us during our stay. I thoroughly recommend this property.

A wonderful apartment in a great location
It was an old, quirky and charming apartment full of character and interesting pictures and objects. This made it feel cosy and lived in, like you were staying in someone’s home. We had a very helpful check in with tips and advice on where to visit and eat out. The apartment was in a great location, down some back streets, but near shops and cafés. Ortigia was a great place to stay, packed with history and great places to eat. Highly recommend!
