Love the location. Easy walk to the main attractions. Our host was very nice, helpful, and breakfast was good if you opt for it. There is hit or miss street parking, but it is safe. Also a pay garage is near. The photography by our host is spectacular!

10 out 10 experience!
We had an amazing stay at the the Photoguest! Giovanni our host was incredible- and happens to be a gifted photographer hence the name of this hotel. Giovanni provided us with lots of wonderful tips, including 2 restaurants that were a real treat- giving us a real taste of Sicily. We appreciated his excellent hospitality and all the little extra bits of help. Highly recommend this place. Very clean, quiet, comfortable bedding. Don’t hesitate to book this place it’s a winner! Great location too- we walked to everything easily!

We really enjoyed our stay and Giovanni our host was extremely helpful. The location is close to Ortigia island so when your car is parked for free near the hotel you can walk to the island and enjoy the sights and the restaurants. Breakfast was very nice as well!

What a great location. We were central to so much. Both Ortygia and Siracusa. The B&B is in a condominium building in a very walkable neighborhood. We arrived on a Sunday afternoon so street parking wasn’t easy to find but we got a spot across the street and were able to leave it there for the duration of our stay. Giovanni was welcoming, easy to communicate with and gave great suggestions to make our stay in Siracusa better.

B&B is in a great location. Walking distance to Island of Ortigia with lots of restaurants and shops to choose from. Host/owner Giovanni is very kind and accommodating. Note: there is no parking on premises. You need to find free parking on streets surrounding the building, if not there is paid parking available at a parking garage next door to building. Only complaint we had were the towels, which were worn and smelled moldy. Overall great location with updated/modern rooms.

Lovely place to stay
Loved the place and the location, it is centralized and walkable, we had our own car and did street parking for free and you can leave the car for days if you want, I thought it was going to be hard but finding a parking, but we managed to find more than a spot on side streets every one of our 4 nights . Place is immaculate and comfortable, breakfast could be better though, it is not much and no change everyday. The owner is a wonderful pleasant and helpful and thoughtful person and very accommodating. We would certainly go back to the same place if we were to go back to Seracisw..

This is a perfect location: close to the rail station and midway between the northern archialogical park and the southern end of Syracuse where the bridges take you over to the old island city. Nicely renovated rooms and a friendly host serving a delicious breakfast. Good advice on restaurants and boat excusrions.

I can highly recommend this property. It was clean, comfortable, and convenient. The host, Giovanni, went out of his way to be helpful, even to the point of assisting with an accidental double credit charge that occurred a day or so earlier in our trip. He became the go-between in a situation that was diificult for us due to language barrier.
