"Nice spacious room with a comfortable bed. It’s in a perfect location - close to everything really. The sofa and chair in the living room area could use a refresh. The breakfast wasn’t great - coffee in pots was cold although if you ordered a cappuccino it was made fresh and hot. Interesting property- just the breakfast and furniture that could be improved and the shower was quite tiny although that’s to be expected I suppose. Liked it - just didn’t love it."

The staff exceeds the mark in every way with their generosity and dedication to making sure your stay is comfortable and luxurious. The room was a beautifully decorated with curated products. The hotel is a perfect gateway into the beautiful island of Ortigia. Two of the most delicious meals we had were at the restaurants adjacent to the hotel so that’s a 10/10 on location as well. The cafe is one for the coffee connoisseurs serving some of the best pour over as well as espresso drinks. The rooftop at sunset has amazing views of the island along with a very curated cocktail menu."
