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! ##### Paul Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Carl 10 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness 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 . ##### Carl Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Lisa 24 Jul 2023 Liked: Property conditions & facilities #### This is not Siciliano food 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. ##### Lisa Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jose 9 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Winderfull views but the staff isn’t so supportive! ##### Jose Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Charlotte 28 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Magisk.

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! ##### Liam Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Daniel 21 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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! ##### Daniel Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### samra 7 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities It is a wonderful place and all staff are very nice ##### samra Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Roberto 8 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Roberto Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Michael 1 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Minareto - great launchpad into Sicily ‘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. ![View of Ortigia and Mount Etna from our room and terrace.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/A84AF8A8CD5E3535AE886FAB3B45DAF7EA0843B01664662918270.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Michael Stayed 11 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### karni 19 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful Resort, great sea view from all over, lovely semi private bay with sand beach ##### karni Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matthew 18 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great hotel.
