Find luxury hotels in Ortygia

"The good: The staff is EXTREMELY helpful! They communicated very clearly through Expedia how parking worked, and that we needed a reservation with a garage 100m away. We also needed to register our car license plate with the city, as the hotel is in a controlled traffic area. The hotel managed the city registration and parking registration for us! Also, directions to the parking garage were perfect. Parking and driving in Ortigia can be challenging, but it's not nearly as difficult as in central Palermo, for example. The property is an older hotel with "classical" decor, but it's in really good shape. It's very close to the water in the Ortigia area of Syracusa, which is an historic, walkable area. Everything was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was good and equivalent in style to other hotels in Sicily. The bad: Not really bad, but weird? The staff brought up an oscillating fan with a misting feature to help cool the room. It seemed the hotel (and room) had central air, but I guess they don't turn on central air in April? Maybe they wait until summer. Anyway, the room got hot during the day, even with the fan, but we opened the windows at night and let the cool air in. Also, we asked for restaurant recommendations nearby, and it seems the staff doesn't eat out nearby that much. They did point us to one street and marked a few spots on a map, but couldn't remember the names. We did find an excellent restaurant (Scuola Alimentare) and wine bar (Evoe)."

"Right on the ocean near the ocean promenade."

"We stayed in room 362, a superior double. It was beautiful, very clean and spacious and the elegant bathroom had two doors - his and hers! The hotel was really quiet at night and we didn't hear a sound of any other guests. The public areas are impressive, a beautiful airy, cool lounge, with free tea and coffee in the afternoons. As other guests have said, the breakfast is excellent with a full menu of hot dishes plus the buffet, and, unlike so many hotels, there is always a table available for breakfast. Altogether, just about the best hotel I have ever stayed in - although also the most expensive! "

"Excelente hotel near of the historical centre and restaurants , nice staff yes I recommend this hotel "

"The two Francescas at the reception desk are gems So kind and helpful It’s been a long time since I’ve had such courteous, friendly and terrific service at a hotel Please stay here You’ll be happy you did!"

"This is easily one of the most charming and wonderful hotel stays that we have had in years. We would not only stay here again, but highly recommend it. We chose and paid more for room 12, which I highly recommend. It felt like am apartment with three rooms rather than just a hotel stay - it had ocean views from two rooms. The location is A ."

"Very nice city hotel. Hotel is well-situated for exploring Ortigia. Room, with a view of the water, was quite nice and very clean. Staff was very friendly. Breakfast buffet was as expected for a property of this caliber. Hotel is located within restricted zone, so it was possible to drive to hotel but then necessary to valet park (at 50 Euros/day). We also walked to the archeological park and museum in Siracusa although this was quite a ways. There is a rooftop outdoor lounge that has a view but seems too hot for afternoon use and a bit too cool for the evening during our late October visit. We highly recommended this hotel."

"I loved everything about this property! Everything was perfect. The hotel is beautiful as are the rooms. The staff couldn't be more gracious. We truly enjoyed our stay and would happily stay again."

"This property is beautiful. It used to be a convent. The room and bathrooms were spacious. It’s a short walk to piazzas, markets, restaurants. Parking is down the street for E20. There is an rooftop area that overlooks the water. I would definitely stay here again. "
