A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“We were amazed by the combination of friendliness and high-class service throughout our stay. The hotel is very well located on Ortigia and offers nice private parking. The rooms are spacious and conserve their “Belle époque” charm. The restaurant on the top floor offers a nice view and a very good and dedicated staff, leaving a durable positive impression. Special thanks to Carmelo, Jary and Ernesto. And Adriano from the reception.”
“I picked this hotel because of its location and my mom’s limited walking. I splurged more than I could afford but it was definitely worth it. Everything about this hotel is great. Sitting on the amazing terrace enjoying their breakfast buffet and being able to order from a menu which is included is absolutely fantastic! Carmello and the staff are so attentive, kind and fun. The room was nice, comfy and the only thing missing was a balcony. But the view from the window made up for it. The cleaning crew was there morning and night to make sure we had everything we needed. This hotel had the best fragrance and it was always nice coming back after having been outside to their pleasant smell from their fragrance sticks. We ended up buying the same one as a memory from Sicily. I can’t say enough good things about this hotel but what makes it so memorable and special is the staff who are always smiling, efficient and happy to help. It was always great returning to the hotel and seeing Fortunado and Adrianno with their smiling faces. We loved every minute here and so will you”
“A truly remarkable 5-star hotel. Everything was very good from start to finish. The rooms are impeccably clean, very well maintained, and extremely comfortable. The staff is incredibly kind, always smiling and ready to help with anything you need, which makes the whole experience even more enjoyable. The atmosphere is special, and the music in the hotel creates a unique vibe. At times it even feels like being inside a poetic line — “Your lips, two petals, All the diamonds.” Elegant, relaxing, and truly memorable. A place you will definitely want to return to.”
