This is a beautiful, peaceful place to stay in Siracusa as a base to explore all the wonderful towns nearby. The grounds and views are stunning. Great staff, wine and food selections. Its great to have a car to explore this region and even more perfect to have such an oasis to return too. Valet parking was included and incredibly prompt. We loved the private beach too!

Beautiful resort - even better than we were expecting! The staff and services are first class - such a lovely experience. The only issue was that everything from the water, tea and coffee in the room comes with a price tag, so be prepared. But overall if you're looking for luxury in an amazing setting - look no further! Wish we had stayed longer than 3 nights! Amazing stay - we genuinely are looking forward to returning at the earliest opportunity!

So it looks amazing but terrible food, service and the beach was all right. Sooooooo disappointing of the meals. It’s an embarrassment as an Italian to eat at a place that provided this kind of food. You spend almost 1600 euro a night and the restaurant is an embarrassment to all Sicilians. I live in Canada, that doesn’t mean that I should get crappy food. I’m Italian by roots and I know good quality food when I have it. This restaurant is disgusting. It should be ashamed of itself for being in Italy. The pasta came with lukewarm eight rigatoni pieces for €30 … I mean, if it was a dish that I loved I wouldn’t mind spending… I don’t care about the price, but this was an embarrassment to every Italian Sicilian mother, or cook out there. Shame.

The Minareto is a very well-located resort with superb views of the ocean and Siragusa. Rooms/beds were very comfortable, although the decor tended to be somewhat gaudy/outdated. Staff was very helpful and friendly, and the location was convenient to the sites in the area.

Nice hotel on a peninsula . Bit cut off from anything . Nowhere local to go or eat out . Restaurant was lovely but expensive around £200 couple . We were not shown the Wellness area and everything was extra although never even saw it open . A brochure in room with what was on offer would have been nice .Pool and beach was lovely . Jacuzzis we’re too cold to use . Nice for a quiet holiday . Hotel bar seemed to be unmanned you ordered everything on the resort on WhatsApp . Bar area was dead all the time and just to finish it off the boat advertised to take you to Ortigua was 50 euros return per couple ! Such a shame as hotel itself was nice , clean and staff were good . Only stay here if you have a car .

‘Minareto’ has to be the best hotel in the finest location with stunning views across the harbour to Ortigia, Siracusa and Mount Etna beyond. The facilities are excellent and the private beach areas offer safe swimming in beautiful clear waters - great for snorkelling as there are so many fish. Wonderful, friendly staff and the most excellent breakfast. We were lucky to be upgraded to a room with a spectacular view. As a guide, ask for either rooms 231 or 232. The restaurant menu for lunch and dinner is the same and somewhat unimaginative for Sicily and hugely overpriced, offering small portions and expensive wines - avoid! Similarly the bar! Instead, a short walk along Via La Maddelena will lead to at least 3 more sensibly priced restaurants with great regional dishes. Go beyond the first, Villa Gaiangos - poor food/service. A little further, and the local shop, La Greca, is great for inexpensive food and wine. The boat-taxi to Ortigia is dependent on sea conditions. At €40 return it’s good value. On days when it can’t operate, a return taxi fare shouldn’t cost more than €60. There are plenty of towns and places of interest you can reach by hire car and/or bus excursions from the hotel. The Archaeological Park and Catacombs in Siracusa are easily accessible. Getting there is easy: train from Catania Airport to Siracusa (1hr & 20mins) for €7, and then €30 for a taxi. Despite its disappointing food and wine, Minareto is still the best for its location.

We loved our stay at Minareto. The food was delicious at all meals, the staff were lovely and we enjoyed the spa. Surrounded by the sea, the views were beautiful with Etna, Siracusa and their private beach. Highly recommended! Would be nice if they could get a English speaking news channel like CNN!

Grand Hotel Minareto is a stunning hotel , the setting and facilities are excellent . Stayed 2 nights only wish was more , never felt so relaxed. The ambience along with the stunning views was a treat , great place to base yourself to visit in Syracuse across the water from Ortigia . Our room which was a classic had great seaviews with terrace , comfy bed and nice aircon . Definitely want to return would recommend anyone to stay .

The view from the room was amazing. However for just a one night stay to visit Siracusa and Ortiga it is very pricy. This is a resort hotel with two beaches so it is really more the destination. With this said, the staff was absolutely wonderful and the dinner and breakfast equally wonderful. Would stay again but would plan for a week or so as a "resort vacation"
