Nice but quirky

Nice place. Nice host. Stayed in the slightly quirky Grigio room. In the room you go up a set of stairs to get to the bathroom and then go up more steps to get to the shower stall. It felt challenging in the middle of the night in the dark to use the wc. And challenging after showering going down the stairs with wet feet. On the other hand, our other traveling family members had a perfectly fine room.

We loved Ortigia. Much to see in Syracusa. Very old City. Had been there before and wanted to see it again, 10 years later. Restaurants, shopping, historic sights and our favorite, beautiful buildings, everywhere, very good ones. Our host, Giovanni, was extremely professional and accommodating. The small hotel, I believe 6 rooms, was just beautifully restored, Great location at the easterly side of the island. Really was an ideal place to stay to see Ortigia from. Would definitely send friends and return again. Keep in mind things slow down at the end of October, many places close. A little cooler by then too. Good parking is about 15 min. walk (very nice walk), from the hotel. You may need to drop bags and return or get a lift from parking to hotel. Also, Expedia does not share your information with the hotel, so because it is small, it would be good to reach out directly to the hotel so you can establish communication. It would help Giovanni to help you.

The owner Giovanni is delightful and so is the entire staff who serve breakfast. Love the location and it’s intimate size. The only suggestion I have is that the bedroom furniture could be a bit more ample— bedside tables, etc. Our room was at the 3rd level with a big terrace looking out to other charming buildings.

LOVE this place!!! 5 star all the way... modern, like a boutique hotel, spotless clean and the owner is amazing at making sure his guests are taken care of. Beautiful top floor breakfasts area with loads of food and fresh cappuccino. Rooms are sleek and large. Ours had a balcony which since the rooms have a fridge you can sit out and drink your own cold Prossecco after a long day exploring. Location is ideal, close to market, town and all sites and shopping, can walk everywhere. We will defiantly be returning, a paradise in Ortega. Thank you so VERy much!!
