Absolutely central position behind the cathedral. Very smart and well looked after property with some lovely staff. Always smelt amazing and was cool, which is important in the heat of Sicily. Attached restaurant was lovely. Our only criticisms are: cost of drinks in the hotel and the selection at breakfast was limited and not always replenished quickly enough. Would stay again.

Palazzo Artemide is one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. Very attentive staff. The hotel itself is gorgeous and located in the heart of Ortigia. Rooms are spacious and air-conditioned (invaluable during the heat wave going on at the time). And the valet parking is extremely helpful, given that street parking in Ortigia is next to impossible. The restaurant and bar are less impressive, but otherwise it was a five-star experience.

Nicely located in the heart of Ortigia, but I have been in quieter hotels nearby, hearing the doors of other rooms slammed in the morning for 3 continuous days is not a pleasant experience at all, as well as some of the nearby sites restoration (they literally start as early as 8AM). The breakfast is poor compared to the nightly rates! In my opinion, this is an over priced hotel and not worth it, unless you have no other choice.

Palazzo Artemide is an excellent hotel in a perfect location right next to the Piazza Minerva. The rooms are spacious, clean and nicely decorated. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Included breakfast is great. It has the touch of a luxury hotel. Not easy to find by car, but they help you then with valet parking. Or you can park at the Palace Ortega Hotel for 24 hours and take a taxi to the hotel. Cost is similar. We enjoyed our two night stay in this great hotel and great town.

Beautiful property in Ortigia within a pedestrian zone. Rooms are large, with excellent bathroom products. Nice breakfast buffet with lots of choice. Staff are very accommodating. Just be aware if you are driving, even with the directions provided by the hotel, it can be confusing to locate it. The hotel will valet your car and then all is fine.

We spent a week in Italy and Sicily with multiple stops , this hotel was my favorite! Very charming , historic but perfectly remodeled building , close to everything. We used valet parking with the hotel, very smoothly operated and easy option. Our junior suite was the biggest and nicest during this trip, immaculately clean and well stacked. The staff were helpful and kind. The breakfast could have been a little better ( we tried both the buffet and Ala carte options in the family ) but overall a very satisfying visit!
