9.2/10 Wonderful! (20 reviews)
All as advertised, with a very responsive host and a quiet residential location. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable, and the morning croissants left at the door each day were a lovely touch. The only major downside was the soundproofing, which was unfortunately quite poor. Our bed was against the wall shared with the neighbouring room’s bathroom, and you could hear absolutely everything, especially during the night. That really affected the overall comfort of the stay. I wouldn’t recommend Room 4 specifically, as that was the room we stayed in, though I can’t say whether the soundproofing issue is the same throughout the property.

9.6/10 Exceptional! (97 reviews)
This is a unique property which is somewhat isolated but about 20 minutes from Syracusa and we were able to get an Uber pretty easily. We had a rental car and went to Arenella Beach which was great experience which I feel was a real authentic Sicily lido experience. We paid 5 euro for the parking 25 euro for 2 chairs. They had a man making very good pizza and a restaurant with full bar to sit in (food court set up). The pool at the hotel is very nice and huge and heated. Our room had a hot tub which was really nice. The morning breakfast is a buffet but they will make you omelets, pancakes and eggs too! This is a very relaxing place but the rooms are not luxurious but clean and adequate. The staff was very helpful.
