the room was spacious (we had a bedroom and a kitchen with a couch- the ocean view was debatable ( you can only see the ocean if you stand right in front of a high window ) - the terrace is lovely, the breakfast was ok but no vegan options

exceptional hôtel located in the heart of Ortigia, in a beautifully renovated former palace. We spent a week enjoying our private, quiet and spacious, spotlessly clean apartment with kitchen and laundry. A copious and delicious breakfast was served in the dining room every morning. We cannot say enough about the warm and friendly welcome we received from Domenico and all his wonderful staff. This unique hôtel also houses a small cinema and exhibition of cinema history. truly a magical experience

The building was beautiful and full of character. Our room was spacious, quiet and comfortable. It was close to bars, restaurants and shops. The valet parking was well worth the $25 Euro particularly after a long day of driving. I would happily stay at this hotel again.

A lovely building with a great roof terrace to watch the sunset. Staff were really friendly and coordinated a valet pick up for our car on arrival which worked out great. Room spacious with good amenities. Lots of choices for breakfast. If we are ever fortunate to be in Ortigia again, wouldn’t hesitate to stay here.

A nice stay in a good location
This 'apartment' was located in an ideal area - within a 8-10 minute walk from the city center. No frills (which is totally ok with me) -- located on a pedestrian street so definitely no parking at hotel, however, parking garage located within a couple of blocks and $25 euro/day so they were able to accommodate us. Staff was helpful (recommended one of our favorite restaurants on this vacation!) and was clean!
