Hotels on first line in Syracuse

A wonderful hotel with excellent service, beautiful decor, and spacious, elegant rooms. We also had access to their private beach, which was a fantastic bonus—quiet, clean, and truly relaxing

Beautiful old hotel with fantastic staff. Wonderful breakfast. Could do with updating and as others have said, the roof terrace drinks are over priced and the beach is fairly basic. Would stay again though.

The hotel itself is beautiful, in a great location, and the staff are excellent. They offer a private beach, but it costs $20 per person for the boat ride there and back

While the view of the city from the beach was stunning, the area was not well maintained—the dock was concrete and deteriorating, and the beach didn’t appear groomed

The lunch area was a basic plywood structure, and the food was disappointing. Given how impressive the hotel is, the beach experience felt like a missed opportunity

The boat ride was enjoyable, but it seemed unusual for a hotel of this caliber to charge for it. We were expecting a pristine beach and a nice spot for lunch

Overall, it’s a beautiful property, but they definitely have some work to do to deliver luxury hotel service. Beware that Parking, pool access and a pet fee could add hundreds of Euro to an already high cost stay

The beautiful pool in the hotel pictures can only be accessed if you pay an additional €60/day. I have never seen a Marriott property with such a policy

The service right from pulling up to the front was just impeccable. The room was beautiful and had the most perfect views. absolutely spotless and everything worked. It is the perfect location for exploring the town

Staff was great especially our Bartender who greeted us every night with our usual night cap 🍸 I woke up every morning ready for the Delicious Italian Breakfast!! So yummy There is something to be said about Sicily in December

Few tourist and friendly locals. Would definitely return to Ortea Palace. We loved the farmer Market in town. The Art On Display in the hotel was tastefully unique!

It is one of the most beautiful hotels I have stayed in recently. Breakfast was perfect and the bar was amazing. just a shame we were only there for one night

INCREDIBLE!!! The hotel is beautifully constructed and has the most perfect location setting for a relaxing beach resort. The rooms are impeccable and I really like the interior design and overall comfort of the rooms

We had a lovely villa with private pool which had ample space and amenities. It felt more like a small house than a hotel room

Excellent hotel with amazing views of the walled city of Syracuse. Both beaches (Rocky and Sandy) were excellent. Service was excellent and easy using WhatsApp

The service was always super helpful, warm and attentive! The beaches are stunning (especially the rocky beach) with clear waters and plenty of space to relax

Breakfast was super fresh, full of variety and beautifully presented. You have the buffet and made-to-order dishes. However, there are additional costs if you want to go visit the island ortigia by boat

The only caveat is there were a lot of small children that can be loud during dinner on the property. Otherwise a great place to stay during your trip to Syracuse

A sumptuous Paradise with undeniable splendor. between sky and earth and the sea for Horizon. all in a cozy atmosphere, where the simple but present comfort allows you to make the most of this charming establishment

the swimming pool is magnificent and the latomies offer a spectacular backdrop. The staff is discreet and smiling, the breakfast essential and complete. what can I say? Thank you for this Totally Relaxed stay

This time we were given room 103, which is a double bed room with a terrace where you can go out and sit outside to drink tea. You can also see the sea in the distance. The room was very good overall

The toiletries in the bathroom were from the Italian niche brand - CULTI. Former British Prime Minister - Churchill also stayed in this hotel. I personally quite like this hotel

Good, good value for money, great environment, convenient parking, easy to find

Very good, quiet, elegant, clean and good breakfast.

Excellent classic palacio, very well restored, friendly staff, comfortable and big rooms, in front of the sea. It is located in the heart of Ortigia, the old island/city of Syracuse. Breakfast with high quality products

During the night below the hotel, young people were playing drums on the beach until early morning. even if the windows are thick. Fantastic location, good looking rooms, very nice people EXCEPT THE RUDE ONE

Great hotel location, wonderful staff, comfortable rooms, good breakfast buffet. I would absolutely stay here again. Just a very comfortable stay!

Ideal location to explore Ortigia. Apartment very clean with all required facilities. Breakfast better than the standard buffet

The staff made the experience very welcoming and comfortable by providing recommendations of local restaurants and cafes

For sure in my next visit i will choose the same hotel

This hotel was the perfect location. The hotel staff was excellent, from the desk staff to the fantastic wait staff in the breakfast area. Great breakfast buffet every day. Including made to order eggs and omelets

A very nice hotel. We stayed in one of the deluxe spa suites. The organic breakfast was quite good and there were vegan options including vegan croissants! The staff were nice.

Missed out on our stay at this property due to a medication issue with my mother. But I'm sure it would have been top notch!

Expensive to park car overnight. Had to switch rooms due to a leak mid stay. Staff was helpful overall. Comfortable hotel

Excellent geographical location.

Exceeded expectations very good

Our room was perfectly clean, the bed was super comfy - I wish all hotel rooms have the same quality of bed! Unfortunately we did not try the kitchen of the hotel which is a Michelin restaurant, but next time we definitely do

Walking around in the old town is easy, the charming main square as well as the see side are close proximity. I sincerely recommend this hotel to people who wish to stay in Siracusa old town

Beautiful new hotel with friendly staff. The restaurant was excellent. They are really trying to have a Michelin star. we enjoyed our stay a lot.

The hotel personnel was exceptionally polite, kind, and friendly

Lovely view and sound of the ocean. Perfect room to wind down and sleep like a mermaid

Excellent breakfast and beautiful rooms. Great location. They take care of your car.

Beautiful view from a hotel restaurant.

We visited in mid June when it is hot, so were not that interested in the sauna/steam, but were a little surprised to have to ask the staff to prepare the area for us (to be fair it only took 5 minutes) - they go downstairs and turn on the lights, etc

We didn't see anyone in the restaurant in the evenings. There is also a rooftop 'garden' terrace and bar. we found a deserted terrace with 3 dying plants and no sign of a bar or any service

Nice looking hotel and well located within easy walking distance of most Ortigia sights. There is a ginormous jacuzzi in the basement, as well as a sauna, steam room and treatment rooms

The only issue we had was the shower - ours didn’t get warm, but the hosts were kind enough to let us switch rooms immediately. In the second room, the shower handle fell off and hit my husband in the head

We were gifted welcome drinks anytime we wanted; a van to pick us up when we couldn’t get a taxi; and very fast laundry service. They recommended the best restaurants in the area and made reservations for our group

Had a wonderful stay at the Henry House for our honeymoon. The rooms were quant, clean, and good looking. It is in a great location too. The hosts were super accommodating and so so helpful

Room facing the sea. Having breakfast on the hotel balcony facing the Mediterranean Sea every day is so beautiful! The staff is very professional and patient, and will answer any questions you have. Accurate English.

Breakfast each day was both plentiful and varied with many traditional treats to sample. Overall we couldn't fault this hotel and wonderful staff

The terrace has a nice view of the sea and the complimentary drink on our first night and complimentary soft drinks in the room are a really nice touch

The breakfast was amazing! It seemed almost limitless. Pastries, fresh fruit, fresh coffee and tea. The service was relaxed but genuine. Always asking if we wanted more or making adjustments as requested

We ended up staying for three nights! The rooms were very clean and modern. There was a small but comfortable courtyard where we ate and chilled In addition to a regular inside eating area

It didn’t seem like much from the outside, but we liked the price and were happy to have a place to stay for the night. The price included breakfast so that was a bonus

A special note of thanks to Valentina who made us feel welcome and valued. Great value! We would stay again

We arrived after 9pm with no reservation as we were in the area and unexpectedly needed a place to stay

We payed 38 Euro for one night including breakfast. We had a big room comfortable beds. Build quality is not that good. But they are super friendly and helpful. The best deal I ever had for a hotel

The only private beach anywhere in Siracusa and just stunning design both inside and on the grounds. The staff is some of the best I’ve seen. It’s family run and they bend over backwards to make sure guests are happy

The room was very comfortable, and the private beach was so nice. I appreciate the attention to detail, it’s obvious they care about creating an enjoyable experience

everything, location, private beach, decor, ambience, especially appreciated the staff who were excellent. The food was faultless, more expensive than most, but definitely worth it.

Having read some of the negative complaints it’s obvious those guests were looking for a ‘deal’, were bad guests themselves or simply have no understanding of how much it costs to operate lodging at this level of perfection

We originally wanted to be in Ortigia thinking we’d be too far if we stayed in Siracusa. It’s a short mile walk to Ortigia and well worth it to stay here! The breakfast is out of this world! As are the lunch and dinners

My husband and I had the most wonderful time here. The entire staff was so friendly, welcoming, and helpful, especially Francesca who gave us perfect recommendations for dinners and drinks in Ortigia

Cocktail queen Milena is a must. The breakfast also was super delicious and there was a huge variety of local Sicilian pastry, cheese and fruits. Definitely the hotel is worth it , very good value for the money😉

Amazing hotel we enjoyed our stay . The rooms are absolutely stunning and the breakfast is great - lots of choice and also gluten free options . The hotel has amazing views as well

The hotel is amazing, it is located next to the see and the view from the room is amazing. The roof top bar at the top floor with the restaurant overlook the port and we enjoyed the sunset from there

Just been to the beautiful new rooftop bar - best view in Ortigia! Great friendly service too! Highly recommend

The hotel was amazing, service great however a little slow. Specially the bar the service was extremely slow

My wife and I spent two days in this wonderful hotel located right by the sea in the historical center of Ortigia. The suite is very big and has all the comfort you need

We stayed in an apartment (a separate building) facing the sea in a perfect location no more than 10 meters from the rocks above a swimming area

The suite was perfect with small kitchen, large bedroom and bathroom. There is a wonderful rooftop for sitting which overlooks the Ionian Sea. The breakfast at the Viola Cafe included with the room was a plus

Beautiful beachfront property, cured in every detail. Great stay !! Very friendly and welcoming staff. Super breakfast.

With high ceilings and a very comfortable bed in a loft area, the apartment felt spacious. Our host and hotelier Massimo is the soul of hospitality! We had a couple of glitches which he resolved speedily

A casual comment about lack of internet resulted in him putting a router in our room within hours. I would only say that anyone with mobility issues would not be comfortable using the stairs to the loft

I enjoy Gutkowskino every time again. The informal atmosphere, the friendly service, the tasteful (figurative : ) furniture and Santi's cooking style makes it that more than one sense is totally satisfied

The best spot to stay in this beautiful town. Friendly stuff, very good breakfast (not warm dishes like omelettes or fried eggs or any charcuterie) but a variety of local cheese, fresh fruit and juices

When I go out for an evening I hope to find a location that unites atmosphere, estetica, kindness and tasteful quality. I find it all at Gutkowskino : )

Very special and amazing food,service is perfect too, it’s a must when you come to Ortigia, thanks again

the view from the terrace is amazing! (This review comes from a critical insider)

Wonderful view to the sea for some of the rooms

If you are looking for a unique place to immerse yourself in nature with a crazy view you have arrived!!! Every room has a sea view A large swimming pool overlooking the cliff A sunset and a sunrise that reconcile you with the world I left my heart there…

Unexpected location, beautiful, Very quiet residence with everything you need, The pool, the gardens, the sea view, nothing is missing...

Lovely pool and direct access to the sea. Best regarded as self catering rather than " hotel". The local supermarket sells delicious home made Sicilia food which I'd highly recommend

Magical place! Structure built overhanging the crystalline sea; only flaw, the access to the sea no longer equipped. The swimming pool (even if small) very useful

Simply wonderful, I get up in the morning, look at the see and feel that everything is possible

Lovely, quiet spot about 8km outside Siracusa. Spacious 2 bedroom apartment was thoroughly cleaned every day. We were served a simple but tasty continental breakfast daily in an outside communal area

They were buried, literally, in the 15th cenury when the Jews were expelled from Syracuae, and found again when renovation work was undertaken in the hotel inbthe late 20th century

Well worth a visit - if a little brief and pricey at 10 Euros (2012)

These are ancient Jewish baths. I recall the only ones in Europe

Ancient Jewish baths are very interesting. However 5 euro cost for guided tour seems steep considering it lasts less than 15 mins.

Very nice place, the only problem is parking the car. There is a parking 10 minutes away.

Charming part Of The old town. Very smart.

Superb service with a smile! Clean and spacious rooms. Ours is overlooking the Ionian Sea. Breakfast buffet extensive, fresh and tasty!

The sea view from the room was beautiful. The room itself was quite nice. The staff were very helpful when requesting a taxi or making reservations or asking about the area.

Excellent location, included breakfast is excellent except for the one-coffee rule, stingy with towels, gorgeous roof-top seating area.

No car park for guest in front of the hotel because almost​ places are for local residence. If have luck can find free places but only if you have luck. If not paid 10€ per night to nearest car park

Spent a great time there. The staff is kind and always welcome, the place is calm and respectful. The spa service they offer is a plus. I truly recommend it.

Friendly staff, clean rooms. The views! Can't beat them.
