The family that ran the B&B was so kind and sweet. This is the place to stay if you are in Ortigia. It's a gem. The roof-top balcony gives you a breathe taking scene to look at while enjoying a simply yet delicious breakfast, which you can change daily. The Pistachio Croissants are delicious, I ate at least two each morning. You are feet from the water, restaurants and shops. If you are ever in need the family will help you in any way they can. I cannot state how kind they all are. They even printed out recommendations and offered to walk a couple to a place so they didn't get lost. A must stay if you are in Ortigia. We stayed for 4 days and would do it again.

The breakfasts were very good and they were enhanced by the excellent selection of homemade jams. Parking was about 10 minutes walk away for €20/ day in a private lot which was reasonable for the area. ##### Michelle Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Linda Oct 24, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Excellent family run B&B A lovely family run B&B with a rooftop terrace overlooking the city and the sea.

Rooms are spacious with good facilities. Stefano and his staff go out of their way to help and nothing is too much trouble to make your stay perfect. The roof terrace is a highlight and you can enjoy your breakfast with views over the city to the sea or enjoy the sunset. We will definitely be back. ##### Paul Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joanne H. Dec 22, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication The B&B was centrally located with easy walking to all the sights on the island of Ortygia. The room and bathroom were spacious and modern. The breakfast was very good which was served on the rooftop deck with views of the city. The owner and staff were very friendly and helpful. The parking garage was unavailable and we had to park over the bridge in Syracuse, about a 10 minute walk away. ##### Joanne H. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jonathan Oct 4, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication We were welcomed by Stefano, whose English was excellent. He was gracious and helpful in the extreme. This is a truly family-run business, including Stafano's father (Maurizio) and son (Christian). We have also met Antonio, who works on the front desk. The room was spotlessly clean and of the highest quality. A fridge as part of a small kitchen, access to a little courtyard, high speed wi-fi, a superior wall safe, lots of storage space and really effective air-conditioning gives you everything you want and more. Stefano had arranged a taxi from Catania Airport to Aretusa Vacanze with his friend, Danilo, for €90. ##### Jonathan Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### luciane Jun 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication Ótima localização, equipe atenciosa, quartos confortáveis!! ##### luciane Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Villa Sant'Andrea, A Belmond Hotel, Taormina Mare](https://www.expedia.ca/Taormina-Hotels-Villa-SantAndrea.h889626.Hotel-Information) > > [Monte Carlo Inn - Brampton Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Monte-Carlo-Inn-Brampton-Suites.h978071.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Politeama](https://www.expedia.ca/Palermo-Hotels-Hotel-Politeama.h1427364.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Vancouver](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels.d178315.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Tofino](https://www.expedia.ca/Tofino-Hotels.d6094955.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [B&B Hotel Palermo Quattro Canti](https://www.expedia.ca/Palermo-Hotels-BB-Hotels-Hotel-Palermo-Quattro-Canti.h972880.Hotel-Information) > > [Casa Nostra Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Palermo-Hotels-Casa-Nostra-Boutique-Hotel.h39551911.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Hotel Palermo Centro](https://www.expedia.ca/Palermo-Hotels-Mercure-Hotel-Palermo-Centro.h1145743.Hotel-Information) > > [Palace Catania | UNA Esperienze](https://www.expedia.ca/Catania-Hotels-Palace-Catania-UNA-Esperienze.h1193988.Hotel-Information) > > [La Plage Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Taormina-Hotels-La-Plage-Resort.h1723708.Hotel-Information) > > [NH Palermo](https://www.expedia.ca/Palermo-Hotels-NH-Palermo.h17957.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Ottawa Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Ottawa-Airport.h1845021.Hotel-Information) > > [NH Collection Taormina](https://www.expedia.ca/Taormina-Hotels-NH-Collection-Taormina.h2601418.Hotel-Information) > > [Rocco Forte Villa Igiea](https://www.expedia.ca/Palermo-Hotels-Rocco-Forte-Villa-Igiea.h1671.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Villa Paradiso](https://www.expedia.ca/Taormina-Hotels-Hotel-Villa-Paradiso.h1134809.Hotel-Information) > > [San Domenico Palace, Taormina, A Four Seasons Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Taormina-Hotels-San-Domenico-Palace.h54173.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Isola Bella](https://www.expedia.ca/Taormina-Hotels-Hotel-Isola-Bella.h1476673.Hotel-Information) > > [Mazzarò Sea Palace - The Leading Hotels of the World](https://www.expedia.ca/Taormina-Hotels-Mazzaro-Sea-Palace-VRetreats.h983846.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Timeo, A Belmond Hotel, Taormina](https://www.expedia.ca/Taormina-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Timeo.h889634.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Piazza Borsa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palermo-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Piazza-Borsa.h3401456.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flair Airlines](https://www.expedia.ca/Flair-Airlines-Flights.cF8.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Calgary (YYC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yyc/toronto-to-calgary) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Lagos (LOS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/los/toronto-to-lagos) > > [Flights from Ottawa (YOW) to London (LHR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yow/lhr/ottawa-to-london) > > [Flights from Pearson Intl. to NYC-All Airports](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/nyc/toronto-to-new-york) ### Cruise > [Cruises to Caribbean](https://www.expedia.ca/Cruises-to-Caribbean.d6022969.Travel-Guide-Cruise) ### Packages > [Tulum](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/182189/Tulum) > > [Australia Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Australia.d10.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Paris Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Paris.d179898.Destination-Travel-Guides) ### General > [Visit Algonquin Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Algonquin-Park.dx6343000)
