The hosts, Giovanni and Eleonora, are amazing -- very friendly and helpful. They provided some great advice on things to do and visit during our stay. An excellent selection of local and home-cooked goods are available for breakfast and it was nice to chat with Giovanni and Eleonora in the mornings. They really put a lot into making a nice experience and it makes it feel a lot like visiting friends. If you are visiting Syracruse, then you should not miss out on staying with Giovanni and Eleonora!

Dear guest, we don't know how to reply to such wonderful words! This is what makes us feel overjoyed. Thank you again for staying with us!

This was a fantastic place to stay. The location is great about half way between Ortigia Island and the Archaeological Park, there is plenty to see and do in the area. The host is an excellent photographer and there are fantastic examples of work on the walls that make you want to visit the beautiful sites at different times of the day and year. The room and bathroom we had were very clean, modern and stylish. Breakfast was plentiful with a good choice of cereals, juices, fruits, yogurts, breads, cheese, ham etc. The hosts went out of there way to welcome us, giving us top tips on what to see, opening times, where to eat etc. They even booked us a table for dinner. Directions to the B and B were spot on and when we arrived our car was parked for us in a very close by, safe location. I would recommend this B & B to anyone. Unfortunately I became ill during my stay, the kindness and help we received from our hosts was above and beyond expectations - thank you

Der Aufenthalt war einfach unglaublich toll! Das Zimmer war wirklich sehr sehr schön und nicht nur neu renoviert, es steckt auch viel Herz in diesem Projekt. Der Vermieter ist sehr freundlich, hilfsbereit und war immer erreichbar. Was ein absoluter Pluspunkt war, dass er viele Tips mit Karten/Sightseeingspots/Restauranttips und Coupons hatte. Wenn wir schon vorher gewusst hätten, wie schön syrakus mit diesem Appartement ist, hätten wir auf Catania verzichtet und wären lieber hier länger geblieben. Wir können diese Unterkunft sehr empfehlen! Danke Giovanni! Ein super Gastgeber!

Die Unterkunft liegt sehr zentral, dh ideal für einen Städtetrip. Die Besitzer sind sehr freundlich und haben uns viele Tipps gegeben. Was uns nicht so gut gefallen hat ist, dass man mit allen anderen Gästen an einem Frühstückstisch sitzt.

Sehr geehrter Gast, wir freuen uns, dass Ihnen die Struktur und unser Rat gefallen hat. Das Frühstück ist eine Zeit, in der viele Gäste gerne Reiseerlebnisse teilen, aber wir verstehen, dass einige Leute wie Sie mehr Intimität gewünscht hätten. Es tut uns leid, dass Sie Ihre Gedanken nicht geäußert haben, als Sie hier waren. Wir hätten Ihnen das Frühstück ohne Aufpreis auf Ihrem Zimmer angeboten. Wir hoffen, Sie in Zukunft wieder zu sehen, Giovanni und Eleonora

Hotellin sijainti oli hyvä

Pros: Aamiainen ja palvelu
Cons: Äänieristys
Location: Yllä kerrottu
Hotellin sijainti oli hyvä, Ortygian saari kävelymatkan päässä sekä arkeologinen puisto, aamiainen oli hyvä sekä palvelu oli loistavaa.
