Clean & beautifully maintained hotel. Better for those who prefer a larger setting than a boutique hotel. Small but comfortable pool area. Great rooftop with amazing sunset views and kudos to our wonderful waiter Fabio.
We stayed here for a few days whilst we were getting married nearby. The staff couldn’t have been more attentive from the minute we arrived with recommendations and helping arrange logistics. Fabio at the pool deck was fantastic and made us feel so looked after. Cannot rate highly enough. Stunning location and views to top it off!
Breakfast menu was fresh, delicious and varied.Eggs any style are made to order. Staff very attentive.
Location of hotel is perfect for overlooking the bay and at night for cocktails at the rooftop lounge and restaurant. Hotel is well located for visiting Ortygia with many nearby restaurants and shops.
The staff were not very helpful, the rooftop
Pool was an added extra, but staff needed to learn customer service skills. As we were made to move to eat our lunch.
This property was perfectly located, impeccable service and a beautiful outdoor pool. The room was also perfect with an outstanding view and modern bathroom. I highly recommend this hotel.
First time in Syracuse and this hotel perfectly met our needs in terms of facilities and location. It’s expensive - especially for the sea view rooms, but they are very nice and the view is lovely from them. I would use this hotel again if staying in Syracuse.
Everything was amazing. So kind and helpful staff during the whole stay. The rooms were stunning and the view fantastic. Had dinner at the rooftop restaurant Clou, which can be highly recommend. Will definitely revisit this beautiful place
This hotel as well as the entire Ortiga area was an absolute delight! It was a our first visit to Sicily and we were in love the minute our driver dropped ud off!
This was a lovely hotel. Our room had a great view. The breakfast buffet was extensive and full of varied and delicious options. The staff was very friendly and professional. This is a full service hotel with a pool and spa facilities.
It was our second time visiting. A fantastic building, great view, roof-top swimming pool... Exceptional staff, perfectly balancing formality of a high-end hotel service and relaxed vacation atmosphere. The staff went above and beyond to help us locate and retrieve our lost luggage on the way from the airport. They showed they truly cared.
Stepping into the hotel lobby was like stepping through a time travel portal. High ceilings, beautiful artwork, and gracious lines. Staff could not have been friendlier or more helpful with restaurant recommendations, tours, and directions. Breakfast was abundant and options for every kind of taste and diet.
Perfectly located with breathtaking views of the sea. Staff was excellent. Only issue we had was it took over 45 minutes to get our car from the valet parking and I almost missed my train in Siracusa because of it.
It was our best hotel experience in Sicily so far. The hotel is beautifully decorated with Art Deco style. I highly recommend a room with sea view because the sunset from the balcony is super romantic. The staff was lovely and very helpful. The breakfast was delicious with both buffet and à la carte options (not included). We benefited from a free access to the spa (depends on the category of the room) and we really enjoyed the aromatic showers. The hotel is perfectly situated on Ortigia, so close to everything to visit. I would stay definitely here again!
