Highly recommend this little hotel. We had such a great stay. The hotel is in a very central position in Oritigia. Great breakfasts and a very comfortable room with a balcony looking over one the the main pedestrian streets, but best of all was the team at the hotel who couldn't of been more helpful and welcoming. We hope to return some day.

The entire staff was very friendly and accommodating. From check-in, wine on the terrace to the breakfast in the morning, we were given first rate service. The reception staff, Francesa and Bernadetta, suggested wonderful restaurants and facilitated the arrival transportation from the airport and departure support for our rental car to set us on our way to enjoy the rest of our tour around Sicily. Great way to start our adventure!!

Hotel is very central, close to everything. In 10 to 15 minutes by foot, you reach everything. Several restaurants within a few minutes walk. Very good buffet breakfast at hotel. Many options for every taste. The room was very spacious, and the French balcony was a nice bonus. Fun to do people watching from the balcony! The 3rd floor terrasse was very nice, and Taylor was a good drink mixer. The hotel personnel was simply amazing. Thank you Francesca, Viola, Bernadette and Daniele. You made our stay unforgettable.

We would absolutely stay here again. Everything was fantastic. Service is exemplary and the location is perfect. The hotel is clean, comfortable, and tastefully decorated. We were leaving before breakfast so they offered to pack us a breakfast box to go, which was a nice touch and was perfect for our train ride. Our sea view room was amazing. You should stay here!

Staff excellent- friendly, polite, helpful. Fabulous location, right in the middle of Ortigia but hotel itself an oasis of calm. Family room very spacious and lovely. Breakfast buffet standard/good. Terrace bar nice to have but small with limited opening - still can’t believe they don’t know what a limoncello spritz is, when it’s so popular elsewhere - but tried hard to accommodate. In summary we were very very happy of our choice of hotel in Ortigia.
