The B&B Porta Marina Ortigia has an excellent location, next to a lovely church in the Historical part of Siracusa (Ortigia), and close to both restaurants, cafes, shopping and the sea.
We ordered the Double room - Executive, as I was traveling with my mother, and we needed a twin room. Usually that means two single beds, but here there was one big double bed in a large bedroom, and one double sofa-bed, made up in another large room, that also had a TV and a desk. As we had a stay of 9 days, and it was nice to have an option for a bit of privacy between my Mother and I (and the sofa-bed was of pretty good quality), this worked well for us, and we are happy about our stay.
The Proprietors also helped us to get a shuttle from the airport and back, at a more advantageous price than we would have got just ordering a taxi ourselves, because the taxi agency has an agreement with the B&B. Gianni & Stefania were also super-helpful with regards to timetables and locations for things to see and do, and were generally lovely to us. There was no option for breakfast when we stayed (think this started during Covid), but as every amenity was on our doorstep, this wasn’t a problem for us. The only minus about this place (in our opinion), was that we had to carry our suitcases up two steep and long staircases when we arrived in the semi-late evening, because the taxi driver wasn’t allowed to stop long enough in the street to help carry them up for us. All in all we recommend this B&B :-)

Incredibly helpful staff, especially when our flight was cancelled at the last moment and we needed to stay another 3 nights. They couldn't have been more helpful, even washing some clothes for us!

The hotel internet was not good. It is a Bed and Breakfast place, but did not offer breakfast. For this trip, we stayed five B&B places, only this one did not provide breakfast. It states with breakfast when we made booking.
Please note hotel indicates having laundry place is not in hotel. It is public laundry on street.

What a little gem in central Ortigia, just a few minutes walk fro everything. Roof top terrace room with amazing views over Ortigia and on a clear day Mount Etna can be clearly seen...what a view. Amazing sunsets. Next door to San Filippo church, we were lucky to see two weddings take place. Friendly staff. Highly recommend

We loved the feeling of space and the size of our apartment was good. Everywhere was light plus we had a large terrace with charming view to the sea over the rooftops. The dining area, although small, was light and very attractively presented with a wide selection of breakfast goodies. The location also was excellent although somewhat difficult to find and parking in Ortigia is a nightmare (not their fault). Our only complaint was with the bathroom which needed some thought, the towels were not drying between use as there was no hanging rail and very little air circulating with the small upstairs windows - one suggestion is that they provide a clothes stand to go on the terrace which seemed to be in the sun all the time. Also the walls and tiles were badly marked and needed some overdue attention. One comment to make is that the room with sea view is at the top of the building, 3rd floor I think, and that is a lot of steps if you are not fit. We were very happy staying here and would recommend it without hesitation.

Fantastic stay with welcoming and friendly staff. Room walls a little scuffed, hence the four stars but otherwise brilliant.

Very nice old hotel in a great location. We had a living area and 2 bedrooms, one that was a single and perfect for the luggage. Room was clean and comfortable and my husband enjoyed sitting in the common area. Hosts were very kind and made sure you were happy at breakfast. Would have been nice to have tea/coffee making ability in room but overall a great place to stay.

Great location in the center of all Ortigia. Executive double room was nice & big. Duomo plaza beautiful and almost empty at night. Best Desimone pottery store. Great time of year to visit.

Very friendly B&B unfoirtunatelt let down by a plumbing problem when I arrived. However, they immediately took my luggage to anotherr property they owned only a few minutes walk away and then moved it back for me next day.Very spacious room with separate seating area and double aspect windows. Quite noisy from the street in the evenings but this all ceased late evening so no sleeping problems. Very pleasant breakfast room and the breakfast itself decent.

This is the sixth stay in our Sicily trip and one of the best. Located in the heart of Ortygia and within walking distance of most attractions. Staff were most welcoming and helpful with tourist information and directions. Our room was more like an apartment with spacious lounge area, separate kitchenette and even a private outdoor setting on the Ground Floor. Parking posed some challenges and we were forced to park in the car park for 10 Euros per day as the free street parking was all taken. Breakfast was enjoyable and nice to have freshly-squeezed orange juice. The atmosphere in this partofSyracuse was vibrant and the best we have experienced throughout Sicily. The short bus ride to Parco Archaeologico was easy and well worth it. We also enjoyed a boat trip around the island and to the sea caves.

Highly recommended! A little difficult to find at first so we took a taxi. Room was a little cold at night (Easter) but clean, comfortable, spacious for family with two children, and good breakfast. Very close to the sea (2min walk) and all the tourist sites are accessible on foot - Syracuse station is about 20min walk. Many restaurants nearby. We had an absolutely wonderful time despite the rain!

Very disorganized stay. Nearly impossible to find someone available. No hot water and no adjustment to bill. Mediocre breakfast. The rooms are in serious need of redecoration and new covers, bedspreads and linens. The only thing going for it was the view. Returning at night up their stairs from dinner was treacherous and without lights. I ignored most of it after nothing was done after a full day without water. The wifi didn't work AT ALL. Thank heavens the place was cheap but similar priced to others even inside the main drag. Still, you get what you paid for.

This place was absolutely a dream. So charming with such character. Very large and spacious with a sitting room, small kitchen (extra to cook), 2 bedrooms- 1 with 2 twins the other with a king. Small downside was 1 heating/cooling unit that faced into the kitchen away from the bedroom but we were comfortable enough there in March (it was cold so we were using the heat). would stay here again in a heat beat. Breakfast was adequate with cheese, yogurt, pastries, hard boiled eggs, and a few other items.

The hotel staff were very helpful, this hotel is centrally located but quiet close to many restaurants and shops. It rained a lot of the time I was there in February but the room was very warm and the breakfast was excellent.
5.0
Generally very good experience here. Rooms were clean and nice and staff helpful with everything. The hotel is centrally located. The breakfast, although not large, was quite good. The only difficulty was location if you are driving since it is in the center of the old city and no place to park there (so getting bags in and out of hotel was a little tricky -- and would have been really no fun if raining). Also, parking in general, even if you can find a space, is about 10 minutes walk.

What's not to like? We had a "mini suite" - plenty of room to move around. On arrival, we pulled right up to the B&B and then the receptionist jumped in the car to help us find appropriate parking! Breakfast was excellent, with many interesting selections. Wifi worked. Good advice offered also re restaurants in the area. The only downside is steep stairs to climb, but if stairs are not an issue for you, the B&B La Via della Giudecca is a great choice!

A wonderful b&b in a great location in historic Ortygia. We loved the very central location with several restaurants, local shops and all the sights nearby and all within walking distance. The host is very accommodating and the staff are friendly and helpful. The breakfasts are excellent, with lots of choice and very good local produce. The whole b&b is spotlessly clean with lots of attention to detail. Highly recommended.

Great rooms, location, and service. Wonderful abundant breakfast. Drop off luggage and then go find free parking on the Belvedere, anywhere within white lines. Left the car overnight with no problem. Good shopping as you walk toward bridge to archaeology sites, which are not to be missed!! We walked there and back but you probably can take a cab. Staff gave us great recommendation for trattoria. Visit baroque square and cathedral at dusk. Lovely.

Once we found the b & b we were very comfortable. Anything we needed they helped us with. The place is charming and oh-so-clean. The breakfast was more than enough. The staff is so friendly and helpful. Very difficult to drive to, even with directions. I hope they can improve that.

We loved it. Very comfortable and beautifully restored old building in the heart of old Siracusa. The help and advice from Roberta was marvellous. Only thing we would have changed: fresh bread at breakfast. Coffee was something I shall miss for a long time though. Thanks for a lovely stay.

We stayed at La Via Della Giudecca for 2 nights. The location was wonderful, right in the middle of Ortygia in Syracusa. We were on the top floor with a kitchen and a balcony. We were sorry that we could not stay longer.
We would definitely stay there again.

This small hotel is more than just a B&B.
It is in a beautifully restored building in the old Jewish quarter of Ortygia within walking distance of all the main sites in this beautiful city. Outside is a small square in front of a church (our room looked directly onto this) and a a lively neighbourhood cafe which supplies the food and drinks for breakfast which is taken in the hotel.
All the rooms and public areas of the hotel are immaculately decorated and well cared for.
I thought we had booked just a double bedroom but we got something more like a suite with a large sitting room, a huge fridge and a lovely bathroom.
There are two computers with free internet access for resident's use and free wi-fi for your own lap-top.
All the staff were extremely friendly and helpful.
The only down-side for some people will be the car access and parking. The hotel is in a restricted access pedestrian zone - so you have to wind your way thro' the old city, drop off your bags and drive on to the big public car park on the edge of city near the market. But don't let this put you off. The car park looks intimidating but isn't really - you park on the ground floor - and it is incredibly cheap - free all day and 1 euro overnight.
2.5
I have no words to express the beauty of the room.
the hotel is a restored building retains all its charm. in the apartment where we steyed I think it was Nº 23 , the apartment had a balcony where you could see the sea and the narrow streets of Ortigia.
breakfast was great and the people were wonderful.
I recommend it to everyone, sure you will not regret it.
