Palazzo Gilistro

Very friendly and helpful staff. Wonderful location, creatively and tastefully decorated. We stayed 3 nites. Would return. Convenient and good restaurant downstairs with fair prices but limited menu. 20E per day valet parking available if you reserve ahead with the hotel. No parking onsite (public parking 15E & a 15 min. walk) but you are in the middle of everything... and the BEAUTIFUL Diana fountain is right there... at most, a 15 min. walk will get you to any other site in the old city. A 1/2 hr brisk walk gets you to the Archeological Park (where the ear of Dyionosis (sp?) and amphitheatres are located ) OR the Sanctuary. The limited desk hours are not a problem because they are there in time as scheduled in both the am and pm. There are also 3 phone numbers so we were always able to reach someone helpful and who spoke English. Large shower, good a/c, quiet to sleep, comfortable bedding, etc.

Room 102. We were not told of the building works opposite which meant we could not open our window or shutters for the whole stay. The kitchen staff kept us awake playing loud music until the early hours of the morning. We will not be back

A beautiful place right in the heart of Ortigia. We stayed in room 301 which was extremely spacious with a large sofa and a little balcony overlooking the bustling via Cavour. The room was beautifully decorated incorporating the ancient and modern. Great comfy beds, high quality linens, great shower. The staff were very helpful and breakfast was fresh and plentiful.

Palazzo Gilistro has a great location in central Ortigia, the original island of Siracusa. It’s within walking distance of everything on the island from Greek temple and fountain remains through baroque churches (one made from a Greek temple) to museums to excellent restaurants. The archeological museum and Greek theatre are a taxi ride away and the taxi stand is nearby. The proprietors are super friendly, helpful, and informative. The breakfast is substantial. The wifi is fast. In short, an excellent place to stay in a city that is itself a work of art.

The location couldn’t be better. You are no more than 10 minutes walk from anywhere on Ortigia. Got a great welcome went we arrived. Stayed in the top room which for a few euros more is well worth it, great balcony overlooking the coming and going on the street below and nice view to the west for sunset.

Great location! Beautiful room! First choice next time!

Ótima localização, no coração da Ilha de Ortigia. Quarto amplo, limpo e camas confortáveis. Café da manhã incluso. Pouca variedade mas produtos frescos e de qualidade. Vale muito a pena.

Bon séjour,très bonne situation dans Ortigia,bon petit déjeuner dans une salle sympathique

Très bon séjour dans ce BnB de luxe. Très bien situé sur Ortegia. Verre d'accueil offert et petit déjeuner très sympathique. Seul bémol et pas des moindres, la chambre qui donnait sur la ruelle assez bruyante en soirée.

방이 아늑하고 매우 깨끗하고 주인 또한 매우 친절합니다.
