Hôtel au calme près de Syracuse
Pros:

Grande chambre avec Balcon, grande piscine, gentillesse du personnel

Cons:

Forte odeur dans la salle de bain de canalisation, dans son jus ce qui peut faire son charme mais mériterait un coup de neuf. Au prix de la nuit on attend forcément de meilleure prestation

We absolutely loved it
Pros:

The hotel is a treasure and a must if staying in Siragusa and wanting to be near Ortigia. I can’t say anything bad about this hotel. Well maybe one thing, they should have almond milk for us who can’t drink regular milk.

Cons:

Have almond mill

Ein schönes Hotel um Syracus zu entdecken
Pros:

Ein sehr angenehmes Hotel mit freundlichem Personal und einem schönen Speisesaal. Es ist ruhig gelegen. Zu der Insel Ortigia gelangt man am besten mit einem Taxi. Zu Fuß ist es zu weit. Schönes Frühstücksbuffet.
