A great location in the centre of Ortigia. We had a suite of rooms with balconies looking out onto the streets below. Breakfast was great, a good selection of cold meats, cheese, fruits, patries, yoghurts etc. We spent three nights here in early November and couldn't fault it.

We had a room with a rooftop balcony that was very large with a beautiful view. Breakfast was very good and staff very friendly. Parking is offsite so if a lot of luggage it can be a challenge.

This was the best breakfast for variety on our tour of Sicily. The b&b was situated right in the middle of Ortigia, and convenient for everything. In addition, I was suffering from a toothache, and the lady on the desk went out of her way to call around and find a dentist.
