Stayed in Caol Ishka for one week from the 15th Sep till the 21st of Sep O8. I could not rate this hotel highly enough the staff were second to none and the food was excellent. The room was excellent very spacious and modern. if your looking to relax and get away from the norm this is the place for... more

This hotel is on a main road outside of Syracuse. It is a hotel with some great design, but its not as well managed as it could be. Particularly when it comes to cleaning the rooms. We stayed here for 5 nights in April and wanted somewhere with some outside space so chose to stay here rather than in the... more

I’ve just got back from a tour round Sicily staying at five different hotels. Of the five this was my least favourite and the only one I would not return to. I do accept that the design of this hotel is unique, which I liked, but I feel this has been at the expense of functionality. I stayed in a... more

Watch out carefully your way to the hotel or you'd get lost!! You wouldn't imagine such awful industrial city outskirts might be the place they referred to as "Bank of river Anapo beside Fiume Ciane, a natural reserve" (quotation on its website). So, don't lost your faith after a 20 minutes stuck in the traffic having left the city (if... more

We booked on the premise that it looked like one of Sicily's few modern boutique hotels. And while most of the hotel looks the part - as the website accurately suggests - it's really more of a full service bed & breakfast than a luxury boutique hotel. It's small - only 10 rooms - and it's on the (industrial) outskirts... more

I stayed here on May 12th, a slow Monday at the hotel. I believe 3 or 4 of the rooms were filled. I was traveling alone and it had been raining for 3 straight days, the first 3 days of my trip, in southern Sicily. I was ready to just lay back and relax. Caol Ishka was the perfect remedy... more

The Caol Ishka opened in 2006 with fanfares aplenty because of its attention to style (unusual for Sicily, to be honest) and emphasis on service. Having seen the photos of this hotel, it didn't take much persuasion for us to book a week in the one deluxe room. We made the booking some months ago but the strength of the... more

We recently stayed at the Caol Ishka hotel for two nights. It is conveniently located just outside the Ortygia Island downtown Siracusa. We were pleased with the staff who were very cordial and helpful. We were quite disappointed with our room. We had reserved a room with a view. The "view" consisted of a field of bamboo with a lazy... more

Caol Ishka hotel is a small boutique hotel of 10 rooms, out of the city, 3 kilometers from Ortigia (10 minutes with a car). I have never stayed in such a small hotel and I was ready to cancel my reservation as I normally prefer bigger hotels. But on arrival I have discovered some beautiful purple houses in a nice... more
