A grand stay in a historic gem
Pros:

Even though we were late to check in they accommodated us very well. They allowed us to dine for dinner even though it was close to closing. They were also very knowledgeable about the history and culture of the hotel. The room was neatly styled in the fashion of the hotel. Yet it had the features of a modern.

Cons:

The elevators were tight and took some time. The room was wonderful however it was smaller than more modern rooms for the same. But considering the age, history and originality of the hotel it is easily forgiven.

Pros:

Mooie grote kamer met chic interieur, hier en daar wel wat gedateerd, maar overheerlijk diner, prima ontbijt, en groot zwembad met ligstoelen.

Cons:

Qua locatie is er behalve het hotel niet veel te beleven. Half uur lopen naar Siracusa en Ortigia.

Pros:

Fabulous hotel and staff so friendly and helpful. Loved the room, bed, food and gorgeous pool. Not sure if heated but was a perfect temp during our visit and so clean. Also as we had a rental car the safe secure parking took all the stress away. Really enjoyed our few nights and would totally recommend it. Was a 20 minute walk to ortigia but worth it for the peace and quiet location of the hotel with beautiful gardens.

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
