What a great location. We were central to so much. Both Ortygia and Siracusa. The B&B is in a condominium building in a very walkable neighborhood. We arrived on a Sunday afternoon so street parking wasn’t easy to find but we got a spot across the street and were able to leave it there for the duration of our stay. Giovanni was welcoming, easy to communicate with and gave great suggestions to make our stay in Siracusa better.

B&B is in a great location. Walking distance to Island of Ortigia with lots of restaurants and shops to choose from. Host/owner Giovanni is very kind and accommodating. Note: there is no parking on premises. You need to find free parking on streets surrounding the building, if not there is paid parking available at a parking garage next door to building. Only complaint we had were the towels, which were worn and smelled moldy. Overall great location with updated/modern rooms.

Dear Mary, thank you for showing your maximum satisfaction, correct the parking can be by the street for free or if you want there is a private parking next to our property. Regarding the towels we are sorry you didn't tell us anything immediately, we will inform the laundry. Thank you for choosing us!

Loved the place and the location, it is centralized and walkable, we had our own car and did street parking for free and you can leave the car for days if you want, I thought it was going to be hard but finding a parking, but we managed to find more than a spot on side streets every one of our 4 nights . Place is immaculate and comfortable, breakfast could be better though, it is not much and no change everyday.

Our host was friendly and had some good tips but had an outdated map that was too small to read and forgot to tell us about holiday closures. Also, the bed was somewhat uncomfortable, and the AC not the best. Our balcony was nice to have but not the view the pictures indicated. We would've appreciated simple tips on how to get to Ortigia also.

Dear George, I am very surprised by this review, I think you have reviewed the wrong property or get confused, since you write the review after 2 months ... I remember very well you, there were 4 of you and really lovely. Your experience started from the parking, do you remember that I personally parked your car with your friend Dale? After I we talked for more than 30 minutes, giving you information and suggestions to visit all the most important attractions, restaurants, museums, I told you about our partners, how to get the discounts dedicated to you, etc. Our beds are those of a 4 **** hotel and our air conditioning is among the best that I have personally encountered while traveling. The rooms that we have offered you are exactly the ones in the photo, with a view of the Pantheon, the Cathedral, the Church of Santa Lucia and a small portion of the sea. For all these reasons I am convinced that 1) you have reviewed the wrong property 2) you were very distracted Kind regards,

PhotoGuest is a wonderful B&B with lovely charm and modern decor. The room itself (including the bathroom) was very clean and comfortable, as was the dining area. The location of PhotoGuest was ideal. Everything is close by - the historical tourist attractions, restaurants, cafes and the sea front are no more than 10 minutes walk. Giovanni and Eleanora are excellent hosts and very much make you feel at home - nothing is too much trouble. Giovanni’s extensive knowledge of Syracuse meant he could answer all of our questions. He made some great recommendations for places to eat, attractions to visit and excursions to go on. Giovanni also went out of his way to make dinner reservations and book my husband and I on excursions. Breakfast was delicious everyday.

Breakfast was all guests at one long table. Not enough bedside room for cell phone, tablet, personal items. Parking was not easy, but Giovani was very helpful.

Giovanni & Elleanora were very kind, friendly, and helpful. The free breakfast in the am was lovely with even home made lemon cake!!! There was plenty to choose from for breakfast! Also Eleanora offered her expertise on local places to go! Giovanni was very helpful basically walking us to the bus station for the airport! I highly recommended staying here. The rooms were large with a rain shower! Very nice accommodations!

We enjoyed our stay at Photoguest B&B. Everything was exactly as advertised, looks and feels brand new. The hosts were very accomodating and flexible regarding our check-in.

This was a fantastic place to stay. The location is great about half way between Ortigia Island and the Archaeological Park, there is plenty to see and do in the area. The host is an excellent photographer and there are fantastic examples of work on the walls that make you want to visit the beautiful sites at different times of the day and year. The room and bathroom we had were very clean, modern and stylish. Breakfast was plentiful with a good choice of cereals, juices, fruits, yogurts, breads, cheese, ham etc. The hosts went out of there way to welcome us, giving us top tips on what to see, opening times, where to eat etc. They even booked us a table for dinner. Directions to the B and B were spot on and when we arrived our car was parked for us in a very close by, safe location. I would recommend this B & B to anyone. Unfortunately I became ill during my stay, the kindness and help we received from our hosts was above and beyond expectations - thank you

The B&B location is good, within walking distance to both the Ortiga island and the archaeological site. Parking can be found nearby the B&B, harder during the day, but easy at night. Room was clean, and breakfast was good. Suggestion: cloth drying rack would be nice addition

Very modern large room that was kept spotlessly clean. Giovanni & Elenora were more than gracious hosts. Great breakfasts. Centrally located to the major tourists sites & areas. It’s like a small hotel and the place to stay if you visit Siracusa. Excellent restaurant recommendations, too.
