Syrakusa hotellia

Plussat: Breakfast is included in the price and is both generous and has a great variety of choice. Difficult to comment on location as whilst it would be nice to have this hotel located nearer to the sea with views to match our travels in the area seemed to demostrate how difficult it would be to find the perfect site. Stakk immensely helpful and friendly. Top marks to them.

Miinukset: As mentioned above the site would be better with closer proximity to and view of the sea. Apart from this small quibble a great place to stay.

Plussat: Everything was good, all the staff were very helpful and extremely friendly

Miinukset: Bar area could be more appealing to accommodate guests after dinner - The road leading to the hotel

Plussat: The property is well kept Staff are very helpful Rooms are very clean Simply amazing

Plussat: A secluded paradise. Service is excellent, staff extremely courtly and the grounds and pool area are simply amazing. We had a most wonderful stay. And special thanks are due to Marzia, who is the most terrific babysitter. Spa, tough small, boasts a very good masseuse. Breakfast is absolutely amazing, a most mouthwatering spread; evening meals were excellent also. We will certainly return.

Plussat: Breakfast was truly amazing - it was generous. with great variety and beautifully laid out - this ranked as one of the best breakfasts that we have had worldwide (and we are very experienced travellers!)

Miinukset: The fitness room is poor!

Plussat: The staff were so friendly and the facilities were fantastic. It was very comfortable and although a little bit far out from Siracusa they run 2 shuttles a day to Ortigia for €10 per room return which is pretty reasonable. Also you don’t really need to leave if you don’t want to. We stayed in Ortigia for a night before staying here which meant we had seen the sights by the time we stayed at this hotel so enjoyed relaxing by the pool. The staff are so friendly and breakfast was delicious. It was pretty quiet when we were there and one day we had the pool to ourselves all day which was delightful. We also booked a day tour through the hotel to see Noto, Modica and Ragusa which was brilliant. Our guide Luca was great and really looked after us. He escorted us round for 9 hours giving us lots of history of the whole of Sicily not just those 3 towns. It was well worth the expense. Nothing was too much for the staff here it was so kind of them. Olmo in particular was extremely friendly and offered to book us restaurants, days out, taxis and actually organised the day trip with Luca for us. You’ll be well looked after here.

Miinukset: The only downer for us was we ate at the property for 2 evening meals and the first night the meal was delicious. However unfortunately the second night we were served raw pork which we had to send back and it was extremely disappointing. Given this was a special to be served it raw was a real shame.

Plussat: We had a wonderful stay here. It was relaxing and we really enjoyed the pool! The staff is great, very friendly. There is a lot to do in area and we had nice dinners here. The breakfast is simply amazing!

Miinukset: If i have to comment on anything it would be the shower. It’s a rainshower and i did’t like the waterpressure but i supose that is also a personal dislike for rainshowers. The small separate shower head did have great waterpressure.

Plussat: Breakfast extraordinary homemade Sicily local fresh sweets, the owners very kind and providing useful information.

Plussat: Very friendly and patient hosts, Lady speaks good english, our room was big and comfortable, food really delicious.

Miinukset: No wifi in the room, one should have car to get to the property or anywhere around.

Plussat: It was perfect!!! ❤ thank You for everything!! The staff is sooo nice! wonderful People Grazie!

Plussat: One of the best experiences in Sicily. Delicious food, charming hosts, good location for ones traveling with a car. Only good memories from the stay.

Miinukset: we were bitten by mosquito, but i have to admit that room was equipped with fumigators.

Plussat: Good location, Syracuse 10 minutes by car. The hosts-Giuliana and her husband- are very-very kind,friendly and helpful.The breakfast was excellent and plentiful.

Miinukset: On the street in front of the house the cars were rushing in the evening so it was a bit noisy but its our rest wasn't disturbed.

Plussat: Breakfast was delicious! A lot of local products.

Plussat: Spacious apartment in a big house. The apartment equipped with everything what is needed for a short or a longer stay. Giuliana is an extremely hospitable and nice host. Delicious breakfast with home made products. Quiet and safe area. Parking places on-site.

Plussat: Very spacious and clean room, with everything we needed. Giuliana spoke very good english and had excellent knowledge of the area to help us with our exploring. Nothing was too much trouble. A very enjoyable stay and would definitely recommend.

Miinukset: You need a car, but in Syracuse you need a car anyway!

Plussat: Very friendly and nice host, welcomed us with a drink and gave us a lot of useful tips. The location is very good if you have a car. Rooms have air conditioning. Breakfast was fresh and most of it home-made. See the picture.

Miinukset: The bed in our room was not comfortable at all.

Plussat: Location on Ortigia island. Spotlessly clean, helpful staff, use of spa on booking with main reception, delicious breakfast accommodating non dairy option

Plussat: Cinzia and David were cheerful and friendly hosts. Free Parking in the street outside the hotel made it very accessible - made easier by Donato finding us a parking spot. The breakfast served in a co-owned neighbouring property was enjoyable.

Miinukset: With three adults in a triple room, the sofa couch was not comfortable. And unfortunately we didn’t have access to a room with a view over the sea.

Plussat: The staff were very friendly and helpful especially Cynthia. She helped us carry our luggage to our room and gave us ideas on where to eat. The bed was really comfy. Good selection of food for breakfast.

Miinukset: Everything was great

Plussat: Great staff, location and everything

Miinukset: Nothing to not like

Plussat: Really lovely staff. Made us feel very welcome and looked after.

Miinukset: There is no bar within the hotel but it wasn't a big deal.

Plussat: Great location on the water,yet easy to acres anywhere in Ortigia. Nice rooms and amenities

Miinukset: An elevator would have been nice

Plussat: English-speaking lady helped us get out of Talete garage. We would still be there if it weren't for her. We had a double or twin room not sea view. Very comfortable. Breakfast very nice across the street. Especially liked the rolls and melon. Felt very safe there with the security they had. Easy walk to the sights of Ortigia. Everybody at the front desk was friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: Could not get the room safe to work. Bathroom handheld falls down. The unit is too big for the tiny shower stall. If there is a tour group at the sister hotel, try to get to breakfast before them.

Plussat: The front desk staff was always nice and upbeat!

Miinukset: The hotel didn’t have a lift and although we are active seniors, going up and down several flights of stairs during the three days that we were there was a challenge, particularly after coming back from several hours of walking. The small shower and the problematic shower head made this daily ritual a chore. The hotel’s location on the water was desirable but even that didn’t make up for the inconveniences. There was something very somber about the total atmosphere of the hotel.

Plussat: Erinomaisen hienostunut, suosittelemme!

Plussat: Everything! Staff is amazing!

Miinukset: You need a car or taxi to get around . But so are most places in Plemmirio.. But other than that , is an excellent place to relax ! Celebrities would love it, no one would recognize them is very private.

Plussat: Huge pool. Spa facilities. In house restaurant.

Miinukset: Given the hotel name and some photos seen in the internet, I though we would all stay in the old villa. Actually our children (all 18+) have been hosted in a separate, modern and huge facility across the street. The hotel is more suitable for families with small children who like to spend the whole day at the pool and have a close by restaurant. It has nothing to do with a boutique hotel, which was what we were looking for.

Miinukset: Bit far away from Town

Plussat: The place is the perfect place for relaxation. The staff were really nice, helpful and easy to communicate. They all know good English and thus makes it more easy to communicate. The place was extremely clean and quiet, the food was superb and the breakfast to die for. I will surely go again.

Miinukset: The property had all the necessities and much more than anyone would expect.

Plussat: The location and the facilities. The food was good and service acceptable.

Miinukset: Nothing, thought it a little expensive

Plussat: The pool area and the pool are real great. The breakfast is expectional. Dinner is very good, not excellent but good. Staff very friendly. Order rooms in the Villa on the side. Rooms are smaller, but cost half the price, whilst you can use all the amenities of the main house.

Miinukset: Prices in the bar are on the high side. The service compensates that though - it is exceptional. Still.... Refrain from ordering the anchovis as a starter. For 12 € I had expected to get an exceptional composition. Instead I found 4 little anchovis plus slices of a caper on a big plate. In comparison to all the other meals, which were reasonably priced, this was a bit annoying.

Plussat: A good hotel perhaps a little on the expensive side probably trading on its spa facilities

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Great location - big swimming pool with very good service, very good beds at the pool. For extra rust, you have a second swimming pool at the VILLA side and a 3rd at the wellness. Great breakfast, with all the Sicilians specialties, each day different. The personnel is very kind and helpful. This is an hotel to recommend! We will come back for sure.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Staff where exceptionally friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet offered a great choice of food and drink. It is a very peaceful and quiet location.

Miinukset: our bedroom was very small

Plussat: Our room was clean, spacious and modern. It exceeded our expectations. Mario was easily accessible and very helpful. The room was quiet-we faced the street but didn’t hear any noise. Location made it easy to do day trips to other towns as well as explore the area.

Miinukset: We knew there would be stairs and no elevator-the staff was great in helping us carry baggage. Our room was on the 4th floor which worked fine for us but could be an issue for others. Breakfast is at another location-we ended up enjoying local places instead.

Plussat: The location was just 1 min walk from the old centre. Breakfast was excellent. Just down the road. Hot or cold food. Try the pistacchio cake. The owner was very informative and gave us vouchers for food on Mount Etna. Plenty of places to park nearby. Pay using the easypark app.

Miinukset: There's a good few steps to the apartment which might not suit everyone. But small price for a lovely clean roomy modern apartment.

Plussat: Good area, and clean inside thr room.

Plussat: Great location

Miinukset: 3 flights of stairs were a pain

Plussat: Mario the owner was AMAZING with his recommendations and contacts. Great HOST

Plussat: Very comfortable, clean and tastefully decorated rooms with modern facilities a stone's throw from the Old Town of Siracusa. Comfy beds - not all that easy to find in Sicily!! Breakfast is served by friendly staff in the cafe across the road. On-street parking nearby was free once we found a space which was a little tricky.

Miinukset: Some other reviews mentioned a delicious buffet breakfast in a nearby 5* hotel. I think Nostos have changed their breakfast partner as our breakfast was in the cafe across the road. It was fine but nothing special and not what I was expecting. This may be the reason I payed slightly less than expected so I am grateful for that - thank you - and I would still 100% recommend this as a good place to stay.

Plussat: Great apartment Location very close to center

Miinukset: Everything great

Plussat: Nice pool and the breakfast was great! They also have a complementary bus service where they drive you out to a beach for the day. This was nice, since the hotel is a little far from the beach. Very nice garden. There was also free bike loans.

Miinukset: It was very far from beaches and any town, so you have to take a taxi to get there and we maybe got a little bored due to the lack of activities/options of going out. All the food and drink options were pricy.

Plussat: Beautiful gardens and nice pool. Quiet.

Miinukset: Not much service. second bedroom too small. Dark rooms. Offered a dinner voucher but neglected to tell us it was only for the first night.

Plussat: Returning customer. Love this place! - Room: Clean, comfortable beds, spacious rooms. - Place: quiet area, delicious buffet breakfast, helpful staff, lovely pool area.

Miinukset: - Shower area might be considered small by some. Fine for me.

Plussat: Big pool, beautiful garden, excellent breakfast, peaceful atmosphere.

Plussat: The garden, the pool(bar) and the rooms

Miinukset: More variety in breakfast, the food at the restaurant could have been better given the price

Plussat: Don't let the approach roads put you off -this place is a beautiful comfortable oasis. Lovely gardens and very good facilities. The staff are a real asset - professional, friendly and helpful and always with a ready smile, Don't bother dining out- the chef is talented and inventive and as a result the food is sublime and the dining room and terrace have a great ambience.

Plussat: Nice pool; Nice & helpful staff; Excellent breakfast; Baby crip available

Miinukset: The original room we got was very damp & dusty and my wife had serious problems with her allergies. The staff acted quickly and we got a new clean room which was more expensive and we had to pay extra.

Plussat: Outstanding hospitality. Friendly environment for kids of all ages. Excellent Michelin star worthy restaurant in hotel. Beautiful spa. In close environment (5 minutes by car) pittoresque fish/pizza restaurants next to the sea (Onda Blu and Zio Agatino). A little further (10 minutes) Dafne's restaurant close to the Ciena River.

Plussat: Very pretty place with excellent location for exploring Siracusa. Great staff on reception! Mirko was extremely helpful! Can’t wait to be back!

Plussat: Breakfast was a very wide selection of different foods with extra requests possible. Always possible to find enough; so good it would have been nice to be able to come back for lunch. Staff were very helpful at all times. They recommended great restaurants and made bookings for us.

Miinukset: The orange juice was slightly disappointing but it is difficult to find anything negative.

Plussat: Obliging staff, amazing breakfast, unique and interesting decor.

Plussat: Beautiful setting and such fantastic charm and style . After a disastrous booking experience with another hotel at the very beginning of our holiday we were almost put off returning to Siracusa at the end as planned. Happily the Henry’s House has availability and am so glad as they helped enormously restore my faith both in local hoteliers and the city itself . They have put so much care and thought into creating a really unique small hotel which really reflects the whole beauty, historical character and warmth of Ortigia island . The breakfast was nothing short of superb as an example of delicious homemade buffet and excellent coffee. Sitting on that terrace overlooking the water - just sublime .

Miinukset: Cannot think of a single thing .

Plussat: The hotel was amazing and staff so helpful great breakfast and brilliant sunsets from the terrace

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Brilliant location Waterfront on Ortigia island near all attractions. Boutique hotel with 14 rooms

Plussat: Perfect

Miinukset: Rooms, Balcony, Food, and the best staff ever.

Plussat: Excellent location in Ortigia—close to all important sites plus a view of the water! Staff was very friendly and helpful—recommending restaurants, setting up valet parking and transportation to Noto.

Plussat: Staff were excellent giving warm welcomes and good advice throughout. Location is superb to be enjoyed at leisure from the vine shaded terrace.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Quite a small bathroom

Plussat: Brilliant location, 15 minutes walk to everything! Loved the street food two minutes around the corner :)

Miinukset: The double bed was made up of two single mattresses which was problematic.

Plussat: My room was facing a wall at least to have a beautiful wall paper there I could be happier than facing a grey wall.

Miinukset: Too small shower

Plussat: Helpful, friendly staff. Very close to the archaeological sites and museum. Good transport links to old town. Great value for money. Very good breakfast.

Plussat: very clean. hand made cakes were delicious

Plussat: Staff were lovely. Everything was spotlessly clean.

Miinukset: room was very small but it was advertised as a small double.

Plussat: Nice familial hotel rooms very close from the Neapolis site. Good breakfast with handmade pastries Easy to park in the street

Plussat: Very clean, large and nicely appointed rooms. Good breakfast. Free parking available in the street.

Miinukset: Only one pizzeria in the surrounding area (there is a coffee shop but it was closed for vacation). A bit far from the center.

Plussat: Acceptable value for money. You can park on the streets nearby. The room was clean.

Miinukset: The property is located at a busy road junction, so the room was quite loud. The building looks a bit menacing and you have to walk for a good 20 mins to reach Ortygia.

Plussat: This a probably one of the nicest small boutique hotels we have stayed in. Breakfast on the open air terrace overlooking the Harbour was relaxing. The room had a wonderful modern bathroom and a good size. Fiore gave us excellent suggestions for dinner in Ortigia. 24 hour parking is close by.

Plussat: Loved the location. It was walkable to everything in the town. The views were also very nice overlooking the water and the fishing boats. Lots of activity at the port.

Miinukset: The AC did not work. The refrigerator did not work. Fortunately, we were able to open the doors to the balcony and it wasn't too hot. However, the port is noisy late night/early morning.

Plussat: The B&B is located in the heart of the Old Town. We stayed for 1 night, it is really comfortable to live in this area. We will back. Thanks

Plussat: Location. Very helpful receptionist. Clean, functional rooms.

Miinukset: Car parking difficult until space became available.

Plussat: Comfortable room, delightful breakfast location overlooking a harbour. Plentiful and varied breakfast food. Staff friendly and helpful.

Plussat: Friendly and helpful staff. The terrace overlooking the sea is a really nice place to start the day

Plussat: Excellent breakfast, very well located, very friendly staff. Beautiful large room.

Miinukset: It was not mentioned on the site that there was a late check-in fee of 30 Euros

Plussat: GREAT LOCATION for a visit to Syracuse. It is right across the bridge to Ortiga - the historic center of Syracuse. Breakfast on the terrace overlooking the bay was a nice treat. Driving and parking in Syracuse is a challenge. The hotel "came to the rescue and provided us multiple options for parking that really helped make our stay stress free and enjoyable. They took very good care of us. Although we stayed only a short stay in Syracuse, we enjoyed it a lot - in no small part to the staff at the B&B.

Plussat: Nice B&B with a great position at the water and to the city. The train station is in walking distance. Great breakfast with a nice view on the port from inside and from the terrace.

Plussat: The accomodation itself was very enjoyable. Very nice decoreted interier, garden is also very well done + there is relax area with pool. Owners are super nice and all people involved were so beautiful to us. They also prepared gluten free breakfast for me! And it was amazing. We were very suprise brekfast was so good. And how I said owners are the most beautiful people. We had non car so we had to cancel other days we have booked, but it was no problem at all. They understand our stand and gave us refund for the rest of the reservation. We are very thankfull for this. Next time we would have a car we would stop here again.

Miinukset: The villa is placed on empty area. You would have to have car.

Plussat: We had a wonderful and relaxing experience at Oasi del Gabbiano. The location was perfect to reach Siracusa and the nearby towns and beaches. The staff was very kind and available. The breakfast good and rich, full of home-made cakes. Lovely garden and swimming pool, perfect accommodation for those travelling with children too.

Miinukset: NA

Plussat: Very friendly family who are running the B&B. Taking care for all your needs and helping you during your stay with all the information you need. They also speak English which is a good thing. The breakfast is great with bread, fresh fruits and delicious pies! The B&B is 10 mins driving from the beach with beachbars and restaurants. They also helped us to rent a scooter to get around easily. They even brought us to the rental company in the city. We had a pleasant stay!

Plussat: Everyone here is very nice, helpful and go out of their way to make your stay a great stay! The breakfast buffet is amazing.. Good coffee, flaky croissants, warm fresh cakes, salami, fruits etc. Easy parking on the road or inside the property. Add on is the swimming pool.

Plussat: The hosts were really nice, very welcoming. The location was great to visit Syracuse.

Miinukset: The wi fi wasn't very good

Plussat: Good location, good parking, superb breakfast, super helpful owners and staff. Lots of nice personal touches, nearly forgot, nice swimming pool.

Miinukset: Rooms not sound proof, TV noisy in next room.

Plussat: The room was very stylish and clean. The house has plenty to offer for kids including turtles :) Top class breakfast. The location requires a car but there is plenty of space in front of the house.

Miinukset: there is not much around but once you a car, it is not a problem.

Plussat: All the thinks - house, room, staff, service, the fantastic breakfast. Very kind people and gave us rich information about surrounding and everything.

Miinukset: It is a little bit strange way - a shortcut - to the place, but it does worth.

Plussat: Great

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Beautiful place with friendly staff, great breakfast buffet and comfortable beds

Miinukset: Wish they would clean up the garbage on the outside of the property, particularly at the back. Seems to be an issue in Sicily in many places

Plussat: The bed was exceptional and so were the pillows and sheets. The view was great, ac worked.

Miinukset: The LED lighting in the room was bad, the small shower unbearable, and the overall decor not to my liking.

Plussat: Great rooms, very spacious

Miinukset: Spa facilities were not all fully up and running or working

Plussat: Superb location right in the heart of Ortigia, housed in a grand old building. Room was of a loft style, with a large bed on the mezzanine floor. Comfortable bed, bright room, and has two toilets (very useful). Breakfast was generally of good quality. Ample parking in front of the property (for travellers with cars).

Miinukset: Service attitude of some of the staff was unacceptably poor, for a "luxury" property. Two examples - (i) there is ample public parking next door, convenient for drivers. When we checked in, we were told that we could opt to pay for valet (at 30 euro for 24 hours), or park at the public lots (one euro per hour; payment either via parking machine or the EasyPark phone app). We opted for valet the first day, but on the second day we parked at the public lots. We received an inexplicable parking fine the next morning, although valid payment had been made. We approached the reception staff for assistance when we returned, and they told us they would email the local police (with a screenshot of our payment) and keep us informed the next morning. When we checked the next morning a different receptionist (female, with dark shoulder length curly hair) immediately told us with a defensive tone that the hotel could do nothing, as we were at fault for not using the hotel valet service. This attitude was poor and offensive, and beside the point. The fact is her colleagues made a very simple offer of contacting the police, and we were not at fault if the instructions were not clearly passed on. Also, the male manager present, whilst the conversation was getting heated right next to the breakfast guests, did not make any gesture to calm the situation down, and only offered to check when the receptionist left us without a word of apology, and we had to protest to another female receptionist present. When we returned later in the afternoon, this same receptionist was the one who had to appease us (whilst the manager and the first receptionist were nowhere to be seen) (ii) room cleaning was poor - we had left a cup of tea from the morning on the table in the room, this was not cleared away when we returned, and neither was bottled water refilled. We had to complain at the reception before they sent room service up to remedy. Bed was poorly made as well.

Plussat: Excellent hotel, great location and a real high end feel. Although open for a year it looks like new. Excellent location to tour Ortigia and Syracussa

Miinukset: It is a shame that the swimming pool was an extra charge, and also that the hotel had almost no outside space to eat or enjoy a drink.

Plussat: I like the location, the clean room and comfortable contemporary design. Breakfast is good. The fitness gym center is below 5 start expectation.

Miinukset: Generally speaking, The staff are green ( sophistication level not match 5 star nor luxury expectation . Lack of warm welcome smile from a five start hotel host. The breakfast staff should volunteer to offer manue to customer since this is included in the breakfast, not wait till customer ask.

Plussat: position

Miinukset: on the second level with no lift

Plussat: good location. nice cozy room. breakfast was nice. the place is in a small stree where you can find some nice shops

Miinukset: all good

Plussat: The location and the breakfast were very good. Though we found it impossible to drive to the hotel with our luggage due to some extremely narrow streets.

Miinukset: The bedroom aircon had a problem with the fan - it kept spinning faster and then slower and this noise made sleeping difficult. There was no hairdryer in the room.

Plussat: Huoneen sijaan saimme pienen huoneiston. Se oli tyylikäs, ja lämmityskin toimi ilmalämpöpumpuilla erinomaisesti. Aamiainen yksi parhaista, joita Italiassa olemme saaneet.

Miinukset: Varauksemme lisäksi hotelli kysyi erikseen saapumisaikaa. Maksu piti syorittaaa käteisellä.

Plussat: Room was quite large (actually a suite), very centrally located and breakfast was good. Roberta and Johnny (sp?) were very helpful and friendly. Roberta gave us great dinner suggestions!

Miinukset: A bit difficult to drive to and unloading and loading luggage on a busy narrow street was a bit of a challenge, but if you navigate to the property per their instructions (not the property address), it is easy enough to find. Free parking is almost impossible, but the public pay lot had plenty of spaces - just be prepared for €15 per day.

Plussat: I had booked a room with a terrace and sea view. It turned out to be a small apartment on the top floor with a very spacious deck. We joked that we could easily live there. There was a fantastic seafood restaurant right around the corner and the best gelato at Gusto about 2 minutes toward the Duomo.

Miinukset: Though I know spaces are often tight in Europe, the bathroom was very small and cramped. A little more room would have made it more comfortable.

Plussat: Aamiainen palveluineen erinomainen . Huone, joka oli hyvin varusteltu huoneisto, oli ylimmässä kerroksessa. Edessä näkyi meri. Vähän matkan päässä kulki ilmainen bussi mantereelle.

Miinukset: Ei valittamista

Plussat: Lovely apartment in the heart of Ortigia. Clean, large bedroom with separate living room. Bathroom seems newly remodeled, with marble rain shower. Friendly staff and lovely breakfast. Could not have been more pleasant and relaxing on a long trip.

Plussat: sijainti

Miinukset: reception auki vain klo 19 saakka

Plussat: very friendly reception who was quick to reply to text messages or calls. the location is great, right in the center of Ortigia within walking distance to all the major sights and restaurants.

Miinukset: everything met expectations.

Plussat: Very spacious room and bathroom. Great location, it’s in the Jewish quarter and it’s central to the main sites. Friendly staff.

Miinukset: Make sure you don’t have heavy luggage as you have to walk up quite a few stairs to get to the room. It’s about a 10minute walk to the car park if you have a car.

Plussat: Very nice facilities and excellent, friendly staff.

Plussat: Great hotel, exactly as promised, nice domain near the city, but not IN the city. Great sleep, big breakfast, restaurant not very cosy but excellent food. Lunch menu bit limited but very tasty. Dinner very very good

Plussat: If you are working in Priolo this is a very convenient location as it saves having to drive into the centre and the parking is quite accessible. There is a very nice bakery / hot food take out place up the road, and a grocery store.

Miinukset: There are not a lot of places to eat in the area - the hotel restaurant is quite expensive.

Plussat: Wow beautiful grounds, nice staff

Miinukset: Pool is not clean

Plussat: lovely grounds with exotic plants and delightful pool area. Staff always very helpful and wanting to please. Room spacious and very comfortable. Public areas also very spacious and comfortable. Breakfast delicious with plenty of choice and fresh produce.

Miinukset: The hotel is located quite a way from the old part of Syracusa (about 5 miles). Unfortunately we didn't discover any public transport to where we were staying so we were reliant on taxis which were expensive.

Plussat: As we approached the hotel we weren’t impressed with the Main Street but arriving at hotel is a game changer. The gardens, pool and building are lovely. Especially enjoyed the resident rooster!

Plussat: it's a really nice hotel, the room was clean, the staff was very kind, the breakfast was delicious, the pool area is really lovely with all the trees and flowers and we saw a peacock walking around the garden in front of the hotel which was and interesting addition.. i highly recommend this hotel and will definitely be coming back

Plussat: Really fantastic place. Small paradise in the middle of residential city area (you have to take taxi/car to go to Ortygia). Gives a bit of The Great Gatsby feel. We would 100% stay there again. It is very private, surrounded by the garden, has very nice swimming pool with jacuzzi bubbles and different areas to relax near the pool and in the garden. Breakfast is amazing with hot and cold food, fresh fruits, local cakes, cheeses and meats. Reception was very helpful with taxi to the city/airport.

Miinukset: Nothing. Worth every penny.

Plussat: Breakfast selection was very good and of good quality.

Miinukset: The main problem was the attentiveness of staff. There were never any around! Took ages to order lunch, drinks etc. Most of the time we had to go and find someone to take our order and we were always made to feel like this was a bit of an imposition.

Plussat: The pool and the grounds. Very relaxing and Comfortable

Miinukset: on one night they closed the resteraunt and bar so we’re unable to get food or a drink unless we payed to eat at a large organised meal. We wanted a light meal and not a large one. THey had put up notice but we assumed the the bar would be open. Sadly not. . So we ended up walking outside and found an excellent cheap pizza place five min walk away. Amazing pizza and very cheap.

Plussat: The service was amazing and the staff most kind! They helped us organise the rest of our trip and gave us tips about restaurants, public transports etc. The B&B was clean, spacious and well-located. The staff asked us our wishes forto the breakfast and offered us a salty breakfast, just like we wished. This place is highly recommended and truly the right place to stay in Siracusa❤

Plussat: Breakfast consisted of bread, croissants, cheese, ham, yoghurt, cereals, juice and tea/coffee. We were welcomed by our host Antonio and gave us a thorough description of the area and suggestions of places to visit. The location of this B&B is quite convenient - very near bus and train stations as well as a short walk to the town of Ortigia.

Miinukset: We would suggest tea/coffee making facilities in the room. We did find these facilities in other B&Bs which we stayed in on other visits to Sicily.

Plussat: Good location, parking was easy to find, nice owner.

Miinukset: It was very noisy somehow in the night and morning.

Plussat: On the mainland rather than the island, but that's what I wanted as it made car parting easier - the island is in easy walking distance. On a higher floor in an apartment block (there is a lift). Facilities were fine.

Miinukset: The booking system had options to book breakfast in advance or to request it on arrival. For some reason I chose the latter but when I asked on arrival, breakfast wasn't available because I hadn't booked in advance. But there were several bars nearby.

Plussat: A very comfortable accomodation in an ideal location. Within walking distance to the major attractions and bus stop with a parking station 150m away.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Friendly host, great location near bus station/train station/city center - Ortigia Island.

Miinukset: The pillows were terrible, and that was the only thing we didn't like about this location :)

Plussat: We booked the room early in the morning and called Antonio. 5minutes later he arrived and we could leave the luggage they would only need to clean the room. Antonio was a welcoming friendly host explaining us all about where to go and were to stay away - very touristic. The room was spacious with a good aircon and fridge. Situation was perfect. Close to Ortigia island and only (30min.) walk to the Greek theatre. Parking is possible in the street if you can find a spot. Tip from Antonio between 13:00-16:00 there is siesta, people take their cars them to go somewhere for lunch then there might be a spot, but we parked 5min. Walk from Antonio’s B&B which was perfect.

Miinukset: The only thing is very small the towel hooks in the bathroom were on the other site of the bathroom and the toilet paper hanger was opposite of the toilet which made the space to dry yourself after showering a bit small. But that is really small issues nothing to not go there. We would definitely recommend it.

Plussat: I loved staying at B&B Caravaggio. Antonio is a superb host! The place is 5 minutes from Ortigia Island, the touristic area, but also has several restaurants and supermarkets nearby. Very safe area, good bed and bathroom. Elevator is a plus, since it is hard to find it in Italy. Siracusa is lovely, I recommend staying here!

Miinukset: Weak wifi sometimes, but not a major problem at all!

Plussat: Very friendly host Antonio provided recommendations for local cafes, gelateria etc. Excellent location a couple of minutes walk to Ortigia. Easy 10 minute walk to bus station and within walking distance to Greek Theatre and archeological museum. Good continental breakfast. Overall very good value for money.

Miinukset: Wifi was a little patchy at times.

Plussat: Antonio was the prefect host. Made us welcome and gave lots of practical information for beautiful Siracusa - where to eat, transport etc. The B&B Carvavaggio is located within a period building and affords simple, clean accommodation. Breakfast was good. Above all the location is excellent - within an easy walk to transport and all the sights of Siracusa. Would highly recommend.

Miinukset: Everything was good.

Plussat: The room was fresh snd modern

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Staff were very friendly especially Andrea (male) at the bar. It was our first night and we weren’t sure about what to do in Siracusa. He served us drinks and food and made us feel very welcome. He also gave us a map of the area and circled places to visit. He was charming and polite. The breakfast was good, more variety than some hotels have offered during our time away. The pool was very clean and clear and we enjoyed lying on the deck chairs in the sun and a swim in the pool. Relaxing. The bed in the room was very comfortable.

Miinukset: The rooms were unclean, bathroom in particular. The mini bar fridge needed a good wipe out.

Plussat: It was a beautiful, clean hotel with friendly and helpful staff. The rooms were a good size and more than ample space for the family room as well. The pool was very clean and well maintained and had a nice views of the city and the sea in the distance. It was a brisk 20 minute walk to Ortygia Island, where there was an array of local eateries and a lovely walk by the marina and sea for swimming. The food and cocktails were good at the hotel, though the portion sizes for lunch and dinner on the smaller side. Breakfast was a good array of choices including a cooked breakfast, fresh croissants, fruit and yoghurt - it was a good start to the day and friendly staff to also greet us in the mornings. We got the Interbus from Catania Airport which was about an hour transfer to a stop near the hotel for about 5.70 euros each way and a comfortable and cost effective journey. We’d definitely stay at the hotel again should we visit Sicily in the future.

Miinukset: If anything just the portion sizes for lunch and dinner - though the food itself was good.

Plussat: Breakfast was good. Location was a little bit far to access Ortigia but we managed.

Plussat: Breakfast was okay, not as good as in other hotels I have stayed at in the same chain. Rooms were comfortable and staff were very helpful.

Miinukset: A little far from Ortygia Island. Pool was small and there was a significant amount of noise from pool and restaurant area in rooms of the 5th floor.

Plussat: All was excellent!

Miinukset: Nothing in my eyes

Plussat: Clean, well run, efficient hotel. Knowledgable and helpful staff. The best of the multiple hotels we stayed at in Sicily. Facilities were good. Location was good, although a little frustrating to rely on the electric minibus with no known schedule but this can be fixed with a €10 taxi to Ortigia and a short walk (30 minutes) home.

Miinukset: Unfortunately rooms were compact and no real outdoor space for hanging beach towels etc.

Plussat: Very comfortable rooms and the hotel was well maintained

Miinukset: Breakfast a little disappointing

Plussat: Great location , very clean & staff lovely & very helpful

Miinukset: Room was a tiny bit dark Also breakfast was lovely apart from lack of fruit salad ! Such lovely cheap fruit locally & would be fabulous if fruit could be made into s fresh fruit salad every day

Plussat: Location was great although parking was rare without paying highly for it

Miinukset: The room we were provided looked nothing like the room shown on the booking page. Whilst it was ok, it wasn't what I was expecting and smaller than I thought it was going to be

Plussat: Lovely location. Rooms clean and friendly staff. Breakfast was nice.

Miinukset: Had to pay extra for the spa.

Plussat: Location is stunning and the staff very helpful.

Plussat: Rauhallinen, siisti ja kaunis, meren läheisyydessä

Plussat: Location and staff. Very easy to really explore the island on foot. Staff very helpful and spoke wonderful English. As well- views to the water were nice.

Miinukset: I must fave missed the detail indicating it had been a convent. LOTS of religious pictures, etc. Furniture and window treatments were dated, dark and heavy. All was clean but it just wasn’t an uplifting place.

Plussat: Breakfast was very unpredictable, if you arrived before too many others had arrived then there was a reasonable choice. However it would have been nice to have ripe fruit and not just bananas. There was small plate of bruschetta which if you were lucky you could get one!

Miinukset: The room we had the air conditioning did not work and despite trying twice to get it fixed it never was. Also the safe did not work in the room as the battery was flat. We were told it would be replaced but never happened. The Hotel is in a great position but it could be fantastic with a little more attention to detail.

Plussat: Very good hotel and overall experience in Ortigia. This hotel is perfectly located on the island and offers high level standards.

Plussat: Ystävällinen henkilökunta ja siisti hotelli. Hyvä hinta/laatu.

Miinukset: Auton parkkipaikan löytämisessä oli hieman haasteita.
