Stayed five nights in a junior suite. Lots of thoughtful little extras. Ate dinner there two nights. Hotel probably about as good a central location as you could hope for in Ortigia (old Syracuse), near plenty of restaurants. Staff were friendly & exceedingly helpful. Hotel arranged smooth, efficient transfers from and back to airport. Avis brought our car to hotel... More

I stayed at this hotel with my wife, daughter and her partner for three nights in April 2013. The rooms were nicely appointed although perhaps a little small. The front of house staff were very friendly and helpful, recommending good restaurants locally. Breakfasts were good, wide choice and fresh. Street parking is available by the hotel, which we did not... More

I stayed at this charming hotel on a quick business trip. The room I had was well presented with a well-equipped bathroom and a balcony. A great deal of effort has gone into making this a high quality property. THe two reception staff were very helpful, arranging things for me and making suggestions. Nothing was too much trouble. The different... More

A perfect small luxury hotel to visit Ortigia. Location is perfect, parking readily available/arranged in front of the hotel. The hotel is in an old modernised palace, with nothing of a major chain hotel. Staff was very welcoming and attentive. Recommendations and bookings for restaurants and best ice cream parlours were spot on. Free bicycles were a great idea to... More

We stayed when the hotel was full, and did not have the option of booking a fabulous-looking rooftop suite. Our room was small, but pricey for its size, especially compared to other hotels in Sicily. Overall, the hotel is beautiful and well-located on Ortigia. We easily found free parking close to the hotel and did not have to navigate the... More

We stayed in a junior suite without a sea view, which did not matter as the weather in march '13 was not at its best. The hotel was very much at its best. Very comfortable room and bed, bathroom with a big bath tub and well appointed walk-in shower. The only grumble was that the hot water was a bit... More

We stayed two days at this charming hotel. The staff went above and beyond from our arrival (helping us park the car and bringing in our luggage) to our departure. They were happy to answer any of our questions and provide us with information about Ortigia and Sicily in general. The hotel is in a beautifully remodeled historic building. We... More

Stayed in a sea-view junior suite for 2 nights. The room (well, the entire hotel actually) was beautifully decorated to give it historic character, and it was spacious enough even with 3 people in our party. The beds were very comfortable, although the sofa-bed was situated near the A/C vent which was not the quietest. Absolutely no other complaints besides... More

Our family spent 3 nights here in December. We had 3 rooms and really enjoyed ourselves. The location is wonderful, right at the water and near the daily farmers market. The breakfasts are fresh, delicious and beautifully displayed. The front desk was very helpful in recommending restaurants, a spa and answering various logistic questions. We had been here a few...
