The breakfast was good though some fruit salad would have been nice. The other guests seemed baffled by the self service requirements. Maybe some greater guidance (rotation direction of guests) and induction to self service etiquette might have helped. The staff were helpful and kept their coolt despite the demanding guests at peak times. The front desk staff were exceptional.

A lovely building with a great roof terrace to watch the sunset. Staff were really friendly and coordinated a valet pick up for our car on arrival which worked out great. Room spacious with good amenities. Lots of choices for breakfast. If we are ever fortunate to be in Ortigia again, wouldn’t hesitate to stay here.

A nice stay in a good location

This 'apartment' was located in an ideal area - within a 8-10 minute walk from the city center. No frills (which is totally ok with me) -- located on a pedestrian street so definitely no parking at hotel, however, parking garage located within a couple of blocks and $25 euro/day so they were able to accommodate us. Staff was helpful (recommended one of our favorite restaurants on this vacation!) and was clean!

Absolutely magical

Beautiful setting—perfect combination of preserving original architecture and providing modern comforts like strong AC and modern bathroom. Loved my stay in the sea view room. Was a great size, had everything I needed. Staff so friendly and helpful. Good breakfast. Amazing location. Perfect balance of being able to rest but also right in the mix. Quiet at night. Will return.
