Our stay was lovely. The small hotel was located steps from the Duomo in an old family home later converted into a charming and comfortable boutique hotel. The staff was extraodinary and made our stay special. Don't miss the amazing breakfast prepared onsite. And the barrista will make your coffee just as you like it!

The location was fantastic, in the heart of Ortigia with a secure front door and someone at the front desk 24 hours. The breakfast was fantastic, the rooms a great size and very comfortable but what really made this property stand out was the customer service - so friendly and helpful, would stay there again in a heartbeat!

We loved our stay! The staff and owner were so helpful and welcoming. Breakfast was delicious and our room was clean and comfortable. It was in a great area of the city and we could walk to everything we wanted to see. We had a sea facing room and it was nice to sit out on the balcony in the evening. We would stay again!
