I spent a week at this hotel and spa having a well earned rest and relaxation break. The location is brilliant, my room overlooked the bay and had a balcony which was nice, especially in the warm evenings. The room was fairly large and well equipped (apart of course from a tea tray which all Brits miss when abroad!). The... More

We spent two nights at this hotel in May. She is a grand, very comfortable, old lady provides an excellent breakfast and excellent service. Ideally placed with a great view of the harbour, the rooms that face the harbour are noisy as the main street runs in front of the hotel. The weather was cool so we slept with our... More

We visited Syracusa in the midst of a festival and finding a place to eat was almost impossible. When we saw this hotel we tried our luck. We went to the rooftop and were lucky to have one of the last tables. Sunday was a buffet day. It was a simple buffet but delicious and the view from the rooftop... More

We were recommended to stay by our travel agent. Apart from its location, our experience can only be described as truly awful. We refused the room that was originally offered - it could only be described as a cell. The receptionist was unhelpful but eventually gave us another room which was just about acceptable. The hotel was well past it's... More

The garden terrace restaurant in this hotel overlooks the sea. The food is very Sicilian and very delicious , and the service friendly and charming. The wonderful risotto was laced with the famous Sicilian wine , Nero d'Avolo - and was a tour de force. My husband enjoyed his tagliata, which was as pink as he had specified.

Un helpful man at reception, find your own room, carry your own bags, broken power points, plug in bath not working, bath mat threadbare, shower flooded bathroom, pay 17€ a day for wifi, and if you want to use the pool you need to pay extra for swimming cap. All in all this place looks good but is not worth... More

This hotel only rates a very good from me because the location is superb. It sits facing the water and the yachts. It is quiet and only one block from the piazza. You can walk everywhere and have a fabulous choice of restaurants within a stone's throw. The hotel itself is a mish-mash of more than one building with a... More

This is a fine hotel, but one has to expect to pay the price, high by Sicilian standards, but, considering, wasn't outrageous. Third floor room had small balcony with view overlooking the harbor. Bed was comfortable and room and bathroom were clean. A little noisy in the piazza below in the wee small hours, but not unbearable. Breakfast was superb,... More

Stayed for three nights with a friend. We had a beautiful high-ceilinged, tiled, spacious old room with a balcony and view overlooking the harbour. That alone overshadowed the negatives, including the fairly perfunctory service and really disappointing spa. So - the good points. That view, the location, the room. A real feeling that you could be nowhere else but Sicily.... More
