Santa Maria La Scala Holidays

Check-in/ check-out was easy. Staff were very helpful and sat down with me to discuss suggestions for sightseeing and restaurants in the area…which was helpful. Location was 3 blocks from the train station which brought us directly to Catania airport in an hour. It was about a 10-15 minute walk to the bridge crossing into Ortegia.

We had a wonderful stay! At first we encountered a few hiccups that the staff immediately took care of to make our stay amazing! The spa is INCREDIBLE. It's a little bit of a walk into Ortigia but we loved getting our steps in each day. We highly recommend this place!

Fantastic hotel with great facilities and very friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast was very tasty (and lovely to eat on the terrace overlooking the sea). Beautiful big room with a balcony right above the sea. A lovely calm atmosphere about the whole place. It was great to be able to go downstairs for a swim with islands to sit on just at the back of the hotel. The upper floor where the loungers were was perfect and a very relaxing place to sit after exploring busy Ortigia. Sabrina also let us make use of all the facilities - and arranged for a boat to come and collect us directly from the hotel for a tour of the island - on our last day when we had a late flight. Ortigia ia a short walk from the hotel (about 15-20 minutes) and we had already seen most places on foot but the boat trip gave a different viewpoint so well worth doing. The Greek Theatre is a short walk away and so we managed to book a Greek play which was amazing. Would wholeheartedly recommend the hotel for a fabulous stay in Syracuse.

Lovely and restful, beautiful hotel and grounds with superb attentive staff. Loved it! Thank you all

Located on a busy route with cars and motorcycles revving all night. No A/C so window had to be open. Mosquito bites, poor sleep, modest breakfast. Desk staff were meh, and maintenance person was not much use. Breakfast crew were attentive.
