All staff were very professional and friendly, took time to understand our needs. Breakfast was excellent, good range. Evening meals good but limited menu. Good location near a very nice beach and easy to get around by car

A Relaxing Oasis with Lovely Helpful Staff
Posted 11 Oct 2019 on HotelsA lovely, comfortable, relaxing hotel, a stone's throw from the beach. with a lovely pool and gardens. We were welcomed with a cool drink and given information about Syracuse and other towns to visit. This was all explained and places of interest marked on a map for us. Also, there were tasty home-made biscuits and a jelly sweet in our room on arrival. There was a kettle and tea and coffee too. Guests are actively discouraged from talking on their mobiles around the pool and when eating. We enjoyed a lovely meal at the hotel's Sicilian evening. The staff are genuinely interested and so smiley and helpful.

Lovely, well kept grounds and gardens. Friendly, helpful staff. Excellent and delicious breakfast, the best we've ever had in a hotel. The dinners were very well prepared also. Small, intimate hotel. The room was small but comfortable. Nice little balcony with a drying rack for beach things. The beach offered good swimming, very close by.

Enjoyable stay in a good location
Posted 10 Sep 2019 on HotelsPerfect spot for exploring Noto, Siracusa and the other surrounding towns and beaches (car essential but free parking at hotel). Good hotel staff and excellent breakfast, restaurant on site very good and not expensive. Our only negative (as others have commented) was the thin walls between rooms - you can hear muffled voices, light switches being turned on, and doors being opened and closed; we were lucky because the people in the room next door were not particularly loud but this will not be the case for all (and because they are a small hotel that’s often full it’s unlikely you’ll be able to move rooms).

Hoping to welcome you another time as our lovable guests, we wish you a wonderful evening and we remain at your complete disposal.

Wow, just wow.
Posted 9 Sep 2019 on HotelsOur only regret is that we only stayed here one night. For the most part, we received incredible service throughout southern Italy and Sicily, but this hotel was far and away the best of the best. The checkin process was like a diplomatic reception! The charm of the hotel lies in the staff and the green physical surroundings, not so much the interior or room layout, which were nice and functional. The breakfast (featuring many homemade Sicilian treats, including amazing almond granite!) was unforgettable. Then there's the small public beach about a block behind the hotel.... the water there was so blue, clear & calm, it was like a giant swimming pool. We didn't want to stay right in the bustling heart of urban Syracuse, so finding this relaxing little oasis for our last night in Sicily was like a dream come true. And it actually has genuine off-street parking! Swoon.

Dear Mr Walter,
wow just wow...
what a thrill to read your wonderful words. Our only regret is having you as our guest only for one night ...
thank you very much for your wonderful review that touches our heart. The moment of welcome is a magic moment for us: it is the moment in which we would like to tell you "welcome to our home", it is the moment in which we would like to reassure you with our smiles, making you relax even after a long journey, and make you feel at home, it is an exchange of energies, of spoken languages, of traditions, of cultures and of feelings. We try to reflect in all the details, sounds, colors and tastes the wonderful picture of our magical Sicily.
For us it was a great pleasure to give you all this ... thanks.
See you soon.
Best Regards
