Where we are

In the heart of Ortigia, on the eastern sea

Arriving by car

Where to leave your car

Ortigia is a limited traffic zone (ZTL) and there is no free street parking near the house. The easiest option is a garage: you book it yourself, directly with them, before you arrive.

The garage we recommend

Autopark Ortigia di La Mesa

Via del Teatro 12, Ortigia

In the centre of Ortigia, near the Municipal Theatre. Book by phone.

Parcheggio Talete

Lungomare di Levante (eastern seafront), Ortigia

The large multi-storey public car park inside Ortigia, the closest municipal one to the house. No booking: pay on site. Check the ZTL hours before you arrive.

Directions
Municipal car park · paid

Molo Sant'Antonio

Via del Porto Grande, just before the bridge

Outside the ZTL, no booking: pay at the meter or with the EasyPark app. From there Ortigia is a 5-minute walk across the bridge, then about 15 minutes to the house.

Directions
ZTL pass included with the garage

When you book a private garage on the island of Ortigia, you receive an access pass for the limited traffic zone.

  1. Book the garage before you arrive.
  2. Give them your number plate.
  3. The garage registers it: you drive into Ortigia with no fines.
Without a pass, when the ZTL is active, the cameras at the bridges record your entry and the fine is sent to your home.

The garages are businesses independent of the house: prices, spaces and bookings are arranged directly with them. Contacts checked in November 2026.
