I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were spotlessly clean and beautifully serviced, and the deluxe room I was upgraded to was absolutely stunning.

My stay at the hotel was simply wonderful. The room was everything I needed, quiet, with big curtains, and felt fresh, new, and beautiful. The service provided by the staff was truly the best part of my experience, as they were all lovely, very helpful, and amazing friendly. Staying in the historic center of Syracuse, on the enchanting Ortigia Island surrounded by natural beauty, offered a unique and unforgettable setting. The dining experience, while simple with quite a few choices, was delicious and made fresh to order, certainly one of the best in Italy.
I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The rooms were stunning, especially the bar and breakfast room in the atrium with a lovely view over the little fishing boats. The service was top-notch, with the staff always being lovely, helpful, and going above and beyond to make my stay memorable.
