Description
The B&B is directly accessible by car without passing through Ortigia’s ZTL (Limited Traffic Zone) access points. Parking is available nearby, both free and paid, as well as at the Talete car park, just a short walk from the property.
The B&B has two individually and tastefully furnished rooms, each equipped with air conditioning, a TV, free Wi-Fi and a private en-suite bathroom. Breakfast is not included in the stay.
Al Mercato di Ortigia is a small, independently run B&B where cleanliness, attention to detail and personal relationships with guests are at the heart of our hospitality. I personally look after your stay and am happy to share my local knowledge, suggesting itineraries, places to discover and useful addresses to help you make the most of Ortigia and its surroundings.
Guests can use a shared lounge where they can relax, read and consult local information, maps, books and board games. Cyclists can also make use of a dedicated bicycle storage area.
The central location makes it easy to explore the island’s narrow streets, historic market, monuments and waterfront on foot. The various sea access points around the island of Ortigia are also within walking distance.
HOLIDAY APARTMENT
Casa del Corso is a comfortable apartment on the first floor of a 1930s building, in an exceptionally central location on Ortigia’s main street, just a few steps from the B&B.
The apartment consists of an entrance hall, a fully equipped kitchen, a bathroom with shower and two spacious double bedrooms, with the option of an additional bed. Both bedrooms have ceiling fans, while one also has air conditioning. The apartment also features a relaxation area with armchairs, Wi-Fi, a TV and a clothes-drying rack.
A bicycle storage area is available for touring cyclists. The building’s rooftop terrace has a small sunbathing area with spectacular views over Ortigia’s rooftops and the sea.
The rate includes bed linen, cleaning, weekly linen changes, all utilities and final cleaning.
DISCOVER EASTERN SICILY
I am an Environmental Hiking Guide and have known the territory of eastern Sicily for many years. For those who enjoy walking and spending time in nature, the areas around Syracuse offer spectacular canyons, plateaus, protected natural areas and landscapes of great interest, from the Hyblaean Mountains to Mount Etna.
The area is also well known for sport climbing, with limestone crags in the Hyblaean Mountains and the Climiti Mountains.
Al Mercato di Ortigia is an ideal base for those wishing to combine the discovery of the island’s historical and cultural heritage with walks, time by the sea and outdoor activities.

What guests say
This B&B is very centrally located in Ortigia, close to the market, the waterfront and major sights. Guests frequently praise the welcoming, helpful hosts, clean rooms and good value; breakfast is also a highlight for many. The building’s exterior may look less appealing than the rooms, and some amenities, such as a mini-fridge, may be missing. Parking is available nearby, though it can be costly or involve a short walk.
