This is a lovely place to stay with spacious rooms/apartments. It's historically fascinating...with its own little cinema showing old films of Sicily. Alessandra on reception will help explain, and the breakfast and beds are properly good.

Fantastic location one block from the sea. The staff was wonderfully accommodating both for late check in and helping arrange transportation to my next location. My room was huge with a big window that had a clear sea view. Definitely would recommend.

10/10 Exceptional

Absolutely amazing hotel, beautiful, spacious room, roof terrace, relaxation room, a quirky cinematic heritage. Some reviews commented on breakfast but I found it good- boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, bacon + yoghurt, cereal, bread, pastries, etc. They also have GF bread and cereals if you ask. Terrific location- a couple of minutes from the swimming platforms which are open in the summer. Lots to do and see in the area, the little shuttle bus runs from a few mins walk away. Sooo many great restaurants and cafes nearby. Don’t think- just book it.

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.

Check in process was super easy. We got there early and were able to leave our bags prior to being able to get into our rooms so we didn’t have to carry them around the city. The property was beautiful. I would recommend staying here!

A wonderful place to stay in Ortigia. The room was excellent, the atmosphere throughout the property was unique, and the rooftop garden was a lovely place to relax. The house itself is full of cinematic history and character, making the stay even more memorable. Highly recommended.
