The room was spacious and clean. The bathroom was small; the towel holder was rusted. The air conditioner was so noisy we had to turn it off at night in order to sleep. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The breakfast buffet was nice. Like most hotels in Ortigia, the parking was about about a half mile away—long to drag suitcases!

Very nice hotel in Ortigia, in a quiet location between the sea and the centre. The staff were helpful with information about parking prior to our stay, and responded quickly. Our studio was spacious with a view of the sea, and the bed was very comfortable. A great experience all round!

Friendly, helpful staff and great location in the middle of Ortigia.

This is a beautiful new property, really lovely renovation of several joined houses. But it's twisty and oddly planned, for example the breakfast room is in a far corner, rather than centrally located. The staff is friendly but not as helpful as we'd like. (They said they'd order a taxi to pick us up from the bus station, but didn't.) Our room was very nice, but missing some basics: there was an outlet and light on only one side of the bed, there were not enough hooks in the bathroom for towels and cloths. Also the bathroom was poorly designed and a bit dingy. The property is in a pedestrian zone and not near a bus stop, and there are sketchy streets and alleys nearby.

A must if you stay on ortigia island of Siracusa. Extremely friendly staff, super clean, good breakfast and close to everything. Highly recommended.

I loved Lanterne Magiche Ortigia. The staff were patient and kind and gave me advice for exploring Siracusa. If you need a taxi to the train station, they’ll book one for you! My suite was comfortable and clean, and I enjoyed the rooftop terrace on several evenings.

Thought it was fab. We were there off-season (Nov. 25) but still liked our stay. I even went for a swim at the bottom of the staircase leading down to the water a block from the hotel. We stayed in Room 9 which has an attached balcony with water views. Fantastic.

Lanterne Magiche Ortigia is located at the heart of Ortigia's historical center, close to two beaches, and many excellent restaurants. It is clean, well maintained, and the staff is very friendly and helpful.

A fabulous hotel in the center of beautiful Ortigia. We had a lovely room with a terrace view of the sea. The staff were friendly and helpful. Their recommendations for restaurants were outstanding. We loved the food at Clandestino and aLevante—truly works of art & taste.

The staff was very helpful, nice and accommodating. The room was large and comfortable. The location is very central. Parking was available but driving in Agrigento like in all the Sicilian cities was a challenge. The value was very good for the money spent.
5.0 / 5.0
Large, comfortable rooms. Wonderful breakfast. Perfect location. The hosts/staff are just absolutely impeccable!! Okay, lets get down to it. Ortigia is an amazing place to visit. Laterne Magiche is located on a gorgeous, quiet pedestrian street. It is just one block over from some magnificent cafes and restaurants. Ask your hosts about them, they will not steer you wrong. When there are lines of locals waiting to eat, then you know it's good. The island is very walkable and the hotel is perfectly situated. If you are visiting Siracusa, this is the place to stay!!

This hotel is beautiful and has been carefully restored. We did not have great weather however we still walked around the whole island and saw the sights as it is compact.

Fantastic newly renovated hotell. Located in short walking distance from everything in Ortigia. We had a four person room. This is an appartement with a Large bedroom and bathroom. A separate livingroom with full kitchen, large diningtable and a sofa that converts to a double bed. Also a washingmachine for your loundry and a small private balcony.
A large rooftop terrace with sunbeds are available.
Breakfast is OK but could have been made a bit more exciting.

I thought I had reviewed this property already… it is absolutely wonderful. I had two rooms, which I was not expecting, including a kitchenette which was very useful for take out and a little cooking. I did not have to eat out at every meal. The staff is welcoming and helpful. I recommend it highly!

I just stayed here for one night when my flight got cancelled and I needed a place to stay for one night until my new flight the next day. The hotel was wonderful, it was so beautifully renovated while retaining the Syracusan charm. The front desk staff were so friendly and let me store my bags prior to check-in. The bed was comfy, AC worked.
My only suggestion for a better experience next time would be to have coffee supplied. There were 3 flavours of tea and a coffee machine (bialetti) but no coffee to put in it.
I checked out prior to reception opening but just left my key on the desk and that seems to have worked well.
I would absolutely stay here again, great location central in Ortigia and very little street noise.

Site says valet parking. NOT. park yourself for €15 a day. Hotel difficult to find in pouring down rain. Domenico was great, though. Helped us w parking. Room was 2 story. Kitchen did not have any knives and really not equipped for cooking other than reheating in microwave and able to fix our own breakfast. Location is good. WiFi is not good. Probably worth the price to get a 5 Star in Ortigia.
