An excellent hotel for exploring Siracusa.

An excellent hotel for exploring Siracusa.

The good: The staff is EXTREMELY helpful! They communicated very clearly through Expedia how parking worked, and that we needed a reservation with a garage 100m away. We also needed to register our car license plate with the city, as the hotel is in a controlled traffic area. The hotel managed the city registration and parking registration for us! Also, directions to the parking garage were perfect. Parking and driving in Ortigia can be challenging, but it's not nearly as difficult as in central Palermo, for example. The property is an older hotel with "classical" decor, but it's in really good shape. It's very close to the water in the Ortigia area of Syracusa, which is an historic, walkable area. Everything was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was good and equivalent in style to other hotels in Sicily. The bad: Not really bad, but weird? The staff brought up an oscillating fan with a misting feature to help cool the room. It seemed the hotel (and room) had central air, but I guess they don't turn on central air in April? Maybe they wait until summer. Anyway, the room got hot during the day, even with the fan, but we opened the windows at night and let the cool air in. Also, we asked for restaurant recommendations nearby, and it seems the staff doesn't eat out nearby that much. They did point us to one street and marked a few spots on a map, but couldn't remember the names. We did find an excellent restaurant (Scuola Alimentare) and wine bar (Evoe).

The staff was so friendly and capable. Old time luxury. Needs a bit of a facelift but it’s worth every penny (or euro). Beautiful view!

This is a small seafront hotel in the old town of Syracuse. The staff were very friendly and helpful, but perhaps its top feature is the breakfast room not on the ground but on th4 top floor, with excellent views both out to sea and over the old town.

Lovely hotel in ideal location on Ortigia (Siracusa.) The staff is outstanding, especially Francesca. Breakfast is a bountiful buffet, on a terrace overlooking the sea - just beautiful. The hotel is elegant and comfortable. The bathrooms are particularly nice.

Most wonderful old Italian elegance with all latest upgrades. Service at checkin was wonderful. We had booked 2 nights separately. Manager Francesca went above and beyond to coordinate in same room. Breakfast was spectacular! Location was perfect. Highly recommend!

Beautiful room with ocean view, good location, and easy to find by car or on foot. Hotel is clean and comfortable. Staff friendly and check in easy. Receptionist, Ashan, was welcoming and personable.

The staff is caring. Breakfast wonderful
