This property was perfect! Everything we needed and wanted was nearby. Plus the room itself was spotless and spacious with 2 lovely balconies. The breakfast room was pleasant and breakfast offerings were more than plentiful! The staff was helpful and always willing to assist. I would highly recommend this property.

Perfect location on Ortigia

We had a great stay in Ortigia at Xenia B&B. It was the perfect place for all of our needs. It was Central to all of the sites, with close, accessible transit. Situated on the main street in Ortigia it was great for walking and safe day and night. The staff at Xenia were very friendly and very helpful and helped make our stay even better. The breakfasts were delicious with many options. Our room was a corner room with lots of light from two balconies. It was comfortable and clean. If you are staying in the Ortigia/Siracusa area we would highly recommend Xenia.

Very well located. A very simple and rather small room. Decent balcony. Good breakfast. Hardly a great room, but given Syracuse in the summer, not a bad stay all in all.

The pictures of this hotel on Expedia do not do it justice. It’s on the second floor of a historic building and the rooms are beautiful. The balconies to sit in the shade in a warm day are amazing. The breakfast was the best I’ve had possibly ever! Staff were very quick to communicate and very friendly. We spent 10 nights here to use as a base for exploration and could have spent another 10. Highly recommend. 11/10

Virkelig godt ophold!

Vi havde et fantastisk ophold, med lækker mogenmad, og blev anbefalet gode restauranter og seværdigheder i området. Stedet ligger virkelig godt, og vi kunne nemt komme rundt på hele Ortigia, samt kunne nemt komme til og fra stationen i Siracusa!

Una meravigliosa scoperta

Abbiamo pernottato io e mio fratello presso il B&B Xenia di Ortigia giorno 16 dicembre 2023, Chiara la proprietaria una persona squisita e molto affabile ed il personale non era da meno. La struttura è molto bella e ben tenuta e la colazione ricca ed abbondande. Esperienza che ripeteremo sicuramente 🤗🤗🤗
