The hotel is quite cool - looks unimpressive from the outside but inside the rooms are very modern and clean. We had 2 rooms on the top floor with skylights which had remote-controlled shades.
We were given code access to get in - which was perfect as we arrived early and dropped our bags off. We were lucky to fin street parking just across the street from the hotel.
The location was awesome. Right next to the bridge to Ortigia. Plenty of coffee shops and restaurants near by.

We enjoyed our stay at Giuggiulena Villa! The location is right on the water with a gorgeous view of the Ionian Sea, nearby sea caves, and just a few steps down to access the water for swimming. Sabrina and Claudia are wonderful hosts. They are personable, friendly, and helpful. Claudia is an amazing cook and provides a delicious homemade breakfast. We especially enjoyed the freshly brewed bialetti coffee, freshly baked stuffed breads with spinach & cheese/ ham & cheese, homemade tiramasu, fresh...

The staff were lovely and helpful, and the location in Siracusa was fantastic. We were an easy walk to numerous restaurants in Siracusa and Ortigia. The morning breakfast on the rooftop terrace was a perfect bonus. Would stay here any time we return!

It’s a beautiful property. It is about a 10-15 minute drive to downtown Siracusa/Ortigia. It has 2 large pools. The Restaurant at the resort is top notch and the included breakfast is the best in Sicily- absolutely incredible. The staff and owner are very nice and were very accommodating.

The Agilia Ortigia Charme Hotel is absolutely superb. Firstly, we were lost in Syracuse, but when we called the hotel to get some guidance, very nice man name Marchello gave us excellent directions and then met us outside the hotel which was a huge help after a long day of driving in Sicily. After check in, we were given a tour of the the hotel by another hotel employee who was also very friendly. Everybody we met at this hotel was so accommodating and friendly.

So the truth is we don’t end up staying. Not because the accommodations weren’t lovely and cleanly it was because I didn’t understand that. It wasn’t the whole apartment. It is just a room in the apartment. You do have people staying in the apartment with you as well in one room over just not enough privacy for us, unfortunately. If you’re looking for something like this, though, it would be perfect for you.

My hotel room was very clean and staffs were very kind to me.
And your hotel was close enough to go to the sea in swimsuit.
I'd like to visit your hotel again.

We absolutely loved Aretusa Vacanze! The room was very cozy and spacious. The owners were there every morning preparing breakfast, and the rest of the family helped manage the B&B beautifully. We especially appreciated Stefano’s dinner recommendations.
