Reviews and Ratings
Staying at this hotel was an incredible experience overall. The rooms were lovely and spacious with great light and perfectly stocked bar. The bed linens were exceptional, and I absolutely adored the Ortigia bath amenities. The staff was amazingly friendly and welcoming, making the whole stay beautiful. However, the distance to the old city might be a drawback.
