Staff excellent- friendly, polite, helpful. Fabulous location, right in the middle of Ortigia but hotel itself an oasis of calm. Family room very spacious and lovely. Breakfast buffet standard/good. Terrace bar nice to have but small with limited opening - still can’t believe they don’t know what a limoncello spritz is, when it’s so popular elsewhere - but tried hard to accommodate. In summary we were very very happy of our choice of hotel in Ortigia.

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.

Staff was great, the room was charming and the breakfast was the best in Italy! There was street noise in the later evening as we were trying to sleep. We are not party people. The arrival and parking situation was unclear as this was our first Ortigia trip. I thought that we had arranged for someone to park our car. We had to walk our luggage in to the hotel with no where to park leaving someone with the car and police officers telling us we could not stay there then drive to a public parking and pay there. We needed help to find the hotel property and this took lots of texts.

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.
