Stayed 3 nights here with 3 travel companions. We had a family room which was perfect. The building is beautiful and in the heart of Ortigia. The staff were amazing and so very helpful with directions, excursions, and information. The breakfast had many choices and the ladies were lovely. This was a great boutique hotel and I highly recommend it.

This place is amazing and lives up to the exceptional reviews it gets. The room was huge by both European and American standards. It is right in the heart of Ortigia and convenient to everything. I suggest that you do not try and find a place to park. We used the valet parking place they suggested and we're glad we did. The people at the front desk were very helpful and the breakfast buffet was amazing. It is very safe, clean and the overall service was superb. I would definitely recommend this place and would certainly stay again.

Beautiful stay in the center of Ortigia!

Beautiful hotel, right in the center of Ortigia! So close to the sights and restaurants, as well as 5-10 minute walk to the ocean views. Everyone we interacted with from the hotel was so helpful, and the room we got on the top floor was very comfortable with a balcony that was perfect to watch sunsets! We also had a rental car and they helped make that stress-free with the valet service option they arranged as well. Would definitely stay here again.
