Very healthy breakfast with lots of chives and fresh pastries. They have a valet service to park your car when you stay. Also a small terrace roof to have breakfast or just sit. I did yoga there in the morning. A perfect location to just go out the door and begin walking to see the sights of Ortigia.

Very nice hotel at perfect location. Close to everything. Parking had a bit of misunderstanding as we were supposed to let the reception know exactly when we expected to arrive and we didn’t get that. However not an issue as we found a parking spot on the street just outside the hotel. Very helpful staff that helped us ton confirm that parking was ok. Room not very big but enough, comfortable bed and well working AC. Okej breakfast with nice cannelloni, not so good croissants, buffet with 3 kinds of juice, in overall ok.

Unique room with a skylight and terrace. Located right near the water. We also parked in the paid lot right there- not cheap but worth it for the proximity to the hotel. Breakfast was delicious- I awoke to the smell of fresh baked goods. The highlight was the innkeeper- a friendly, funny gentleman and I enjoyed our conversations.

This is a wonderful, small B&B on Ortigia in Syracuse. We had a room with an upstairs, private terrace, amazing! Views of the harbor, cruise ships, sunset. Breakfast is also wonderful buffet on a terrace. One of the most surprising hidden gems of our whole European adventure.
