Bursting With History And Charm…

5 / 5 Excellent

On our 7th visit to Ortiigia we could not book our usual preferred hotel and I remembered a friend had stayed here and so we booked. A converted Palazzo built around a courtyard it also houses, in a basement, what is probably the oldest Mikvah in Europe. The rooms are large and airy, ours was a small suite with a living room, compleate with a stone fire place, and terrace with views across the rooftops to the sea. Very clean and comfortable, the whole building oozes charm and history. Two things to remember: There are no lifts (stairs are quite steep) and the property cannot be approached by a car. The nearest point to be reached is about a 50 meter walk. Service is polite, friendly and with a smile and we will certainly return.…On our 7th visit to Ortiigia we could not book our usual preferred hotel and I remembered a friend had stayed here and so we booked.

Pleasant and clean…

5 / 5 Excellent

A good place to stay, 200 metres from the bridge to Syracuse, so you don’t need to worry about driving on the island. Comfortable and clean. No onsite parking though, despite what the listing says (currently) although there is free street parking not far away. It’s ok to stop outside and unload. We stayed during Covid times so not as busy as it could have been.…

5 / 5 Excellent

The hotel is nicely situated on the island of Ortigia, and is well located for exploring the sights of Siracusa. There is a luxurious quality to the service and some of the fittings in the hotel. The rooms was a good size and clean, and the bed was very comfortable with pillows of various firmness so there is a choice. The only thing I didn’t like about the room was the lighting in the bathroom. It was a bit too dim, a brighter more modern bathroom would be better. The hotel is facing the sea on the western side of the island, which makes for an ideal location for watching the sunset. The guests were given a voucher on arrival for a free glass of bubbly and some snacks on the rooftop bar in the evening, to take advantage of that. However, at the moment the view is pretty much blocked out by a large Norwegian cruise liner. So if you like looking at big cruise ships, great, otherwise, not so great. Most importantly the air-conditioning system in the room was great, and really helped me cope with the heat. Also very importantly, of the 3 hotels I stay in on this trip, the only one that had a kettle and tea/coffee. Breakfast is also on the rooftop bar. There is a good range of food, and to manage the buffet bar due to Covid restrictions, you stood behind a rope and pointed to what you wanted and a server gets the items for you. Overall it was a very enjoyable stay and I would definitely be happy to stay there again.…The hotel is nicely situated on the island of Ortigia, and is well located for exploring the sights of Siracusa.

Good location in a otherwise easy city to handle. Friendly, otherwise efficient front desk staff that ignored my complaints about my neighbor's clothesline in his balcony (I guess in Siracuse is a behavior tollerated in a four stars hotel) Spartian breakfast served by a team of waiters working like a swiss clock. Clean rooms. Quiet neighborhood with plenty of tourist traps posing as bars, restaurants and stores…Good location in a otherwise easy city to handle.
