Four of us spent a week in Sicily to celebrate 3 milestone birthdays (my twin sister’s and mine, my niece’s) and my nephew came too. We flew into Catania, picked up a lovely Alfa Romeo hire car and drove to this hotel for the first 4 nights of our holiday. The hotel was easy to find, 15 minutes outside Siracusa, and was an oasis of peace and calm. Despite being early, our duplex room was ready. We were starving having been up since 3.00 am and they insisted on keeping the kitchen open so that we could have a late lunch by the beautiful pool. that really set the tone for our stay - nothing was too much effort for the family-run hotel. The room was huge, two beds on a mezzanine floors, but next time we go (and we will) we’ll book separate rooms for my grownup nephew and niece. The hotel is quirky with lots of character and beautiful gardens with plants and trees from South America. There was always plenty of space around both pools which were the cleanest I’ve seen. The breakfast were fantastic - home made, traditional Sicilian food with a huge selection. On arrival we were given a map showing places to visit in the area as well as recommended places to eat and, most importantly, we were shown the best places to park when visiting busy Siracusa and Osteria. We had one evening meal at the hotel restaurant that first night - the food was good homemade Italian but being of Italian origin was what I’d make at home. If you are looking for a lovely place to stay, that is relaxing, with wonderful staff who are attentive without being intrusive - this is the perfect spot.

L'anno scorso siamo state in questo posto... Erano organizzati un po male ma tutto sommato ci siamo trovate bene, camere pulite e soggiorno piacevole, tanto da ritornarci quest'anno ma...nulla come prima. Organizzazione inesistente , siamo arrivate alle 15.00 e la camera non era pronta, abbiamo dovuto aspettare un'ora. Alle 16.00 entriamo in camera e sento una puzza terribile...Apro l'armadio e mi cade un pezzo di legno nel piede... C'erano peli e formiche ovunque (queste ultime anche sul letto) ... avviso la reception e mi danno uno spray insetticida 😒 Alle 23.30 andiamo in paese a prendere 2 arancini torniamo in camera,li poggiamo sul tavolo il tempo di una doccia e le formiche arrivano negli arancini (ancora chiusi) . Vado alla reception di nuovo trovo la guardia ,mi faccio dare scopa e paletta per pulire la camera e (2 gelati per cenare )... In bagno sotto il bidet c'era un rotolo di carta igienica finito, ciò mi fa capire che la stanza prima del nostro arrivo non è stata nemmeno spazzata. L'indomani mi fanno pulire la stanza nuovamente per rimediare ma con scarsi risultati.. Abbiamo chiesto di parlare con il proprietario ma ci è stato detto che non poteva venire quel giorno. Piscina e prato abbastanza puliti,colazione buona. Ps: per il disagio avuto non ci hanno fatto pagare i 35 euro extra per la pulizia del cane , anche perchè la camera l'avevo pulita io a mezzanotte 😅... Posto consigliato solo per 1 giornata in piscina senza pernottamento.

L'hotel è molto bello, moderno, in zona tranquilla e silenziosa, con piscina esterna e interna (presente idromassaggio e centro benessere) e palestra. La nostra camera era molto più grande delle camere che si trovano solitamente (sembrava una suite!) e anche il letto era extra size. Si dorme da favola e la pulizia è davvero impeccabile.
L'unica cosa migliorabile è la colazione: la scelta potrebbe essere più ampia. La struttura è isolata quindi è necessario avere un mezzo proprio per spostarsi.
Nel complesso, molto meglio delle attese, più simile ad un 5 stelle che ad un 4.

B&B Villa Ambra is a delightful place to stay in Noto. We reserved the room with a view which had a little private balcony but there is a beautiful shared balcony that is also lovey. The room was a good size with comfortable amenities like two locations for luggage, a table and 2 chairs, a closet with shelves and hangers, a small fridge, and storage shelves in the bathroom. Breakfast was a feast with many homemade items. Ambra and Irene are so friendly and helpful. You are totally taken care of by this team. Easy walk to town OR Ambra will show you where to park your car right outside of town if you don't want to walk the entire way. She was also able to arrange a car/driver to pick us up after dinner so we walked into town before dinner but did not have to walk back up the hill to get home. Highly recommend. Can’t wait to return. Wish we had more time to enjoy B&B Villa Ambra and Noto.

YYiuWe stayed here for 5 nights and loved our stay. The hotel is conveniently located just off the Piazza Archimede. If you are getting a taxi from the train station or airport, I would recommend asking to be dropped off there. The hotel is in a very central location with restaurants and places to get snacks nearby. We had a corner room on the first floor which had balconies and a separate lounge/dining room. The room was decorated beautifully, the bathroom was clean and had excellent water pressure and the bed was super comfy. There was a wide range of food to choose from at breakfast - pastries, cakes, fruit, yoghurt, bacon and eggs and meat and cheeses and the staff who helped at breakfast times were super helpful and lovely. The reception desk is not manned 24 hours, but if you contact the staff outside the manned hours, they really go above and beyond to help with issues and queries that you may have. Our flight was scheduled to arrive quite late, and then was delayed so our arrival was much later than planned. Since there would not be anyone there so late at night, they gave us very clear arrangements on how to access the building and had our room ready and waiting for us which was fantastic at the end of a very long and stressful day. We would definitely stay here again when we visited Ortigia.

A wonderful place to rest and recuperate after a busy few days sightseeing in Sicily! Situated on the edge of the glorious Vendicari Nature Reserve, with its flamingos and spoonbills and abundant other birdlife, Case Vendicari is elegantly appointed with charming large rooms all furnished in a quiet, tasteful style. It's in the middle of a working farm with lemon-trees and olives. Very friendly staff; delicious breakfasts; and a delightful swimming pool. The beaches within the Nature Reserve are lovely - as is the simple restaurant between the hotel and the entrance to the reserve. Noto is only 15 minutes away. A delight to have spent five days here - do go if you can!

QQuest37379981882Minareto is in an great setting with a nice private beach and great views over to Siracusa. Our room was surprisingly very small but had a good view. Breakfast was OK, nothing special, but the service was slow as was the service in the main restaurant outdoors and I wouldn't rate either place very highly. The staff in the outdoor restaurant seemed to hurry everything and couldn't even be bothered to top up our glasses with the €150 bottle of champagne that we had at dinner - not a 5* service for sure. Whilst Minareto is quiet and relaxed, it is very overpriced for what you get and you even pay for water in your room. Our holiday was OK but not worth the money from our point of view.

TTravel63045549253As part of a tour of Italy and Sciliy celebrating a Big Birthday, we booked into this beautiful little gem for three days. Wow what a treat! The hotel only has six rooms bit it is airy bright and very welcoming. All of the staff are extremly friendly and helped me provide a birthday breakfast party for the birthday person. Extra thanks to Marco and Malarnia on reception for their advice, patience and can do attitude. Big thank you to the head waiter who served us with large mugs of coffee and the house keeping team who supplied us with everything we asked for and more. The only let down was that we couldn't eat in the restaurant on the night of our choice as the chef was on holiday. The location is perfect for getting out and about. Would we recommend this place - 100% we would.

WWatcherThe room is decent for a city hotel, catering more towards business travellers. The hotel is conveniently located, a 30-minute walk to Ortigia's island city but less than 5 minutes from the Archaeological Park of Neapolis. Getting to Ortigia is easy via a quick ride on the red bus costing just €1.50, payable to the driver. The reception is notably friendly and helpful. Breakfast is good, offering a brilliant variety of food and drinks. Additionally, there is a large supermarket around the corner of the hotel. Parking is free.

We recently had the pleasure of staying at the Piccolo Hotel Casa Mia during our visit to Siracusa. Let me share my delightful experience with you! Location: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The hotel is strategically situated just some 300m back from the main island of Siracusa. There are an abundance of small cafes, restaurants within a short distance of the Hotel. Ambiance: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Hotel has so much history, an interesting layout with the reception on the next level, once you know where your room is you get to know the hotel. Rooms: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The room was a good size, clean, neat tidy with all the normal amenity 👍👍 there was no safe in the room so we just carried all important items with us on our day trips. Verdict: For location, Value for Money and Service I would stay there again on the next visit to Siracusa.

CCarla DipasqualeHo recentemente avuto il piacere di soggiornare all'Hotel dei Coloniali durante una vacanza a Ortigia e sono rimasta estremamente colpita dall'esperienza che ho avuto Recensione dell'Hotel XYZ: Eccellente servizio del receptionist e posizione ideale!
Ho recentemente soggiornato all'Hotel dei Coloniali durante la mia visita a Ortigia e sono rimasta estremamente soddisfatta dell'esperienza. Desidero elogiare il receptionist per il suo servizio eccezionale e per averci letteralmente salvato la vacanza quando abbiamo avuto un problema con una ruota. Gentilmente, ha sostituito la ruota con quella di scorta, risolvendo rapidamente il nostro inconveniente.
L'hotel si trova in una posizione ottima, a soli dieci minuti a piedi da Ortigia, e offre un parcheggio gratuito di fronte. Le camere erano pulite e ben arredate. Il personale dell'hotel è stato cortese e disponibile durante tutto il nostro soggiorno.
Consiglio vivamente questa struttura a chiunque cerchi un alloggio accogliente a Ortigia. Il receptionist merita un plauso speciale per il suo servizio eccellente e per averci aiutato in un momento di difficoltà. Grazie!!!

PPengguna TetamuI spent a week at Hotel Como, which is now one of my favourite hotels ever. It is opposite the train station, and round the corner from the bus station. The room was comfortable and spotlessly clean. The breakfast selection was perfect for me - fresh croissants, bread, fruit juice, and coffee. I enjoyed the stroll along Corso Umberto to get to Ortigia, which is the main bustling crowded historical island. I knew it was a popular destination, but even so I was a bit surprised at the huge number of tourists! However, it's possible to amble along side streets and find some quiet areas. Grazie, Giuseppe, and everyone else whose names I didn't get, for the warm and friendly welcome.
