Charming, basic & very good value for money.
Very, very central. Great hosts. Very good value for money but basic, especially breakfast. Single use plastic cups at breakfast rather than glasses, so bad for the environment. The breakfast has tiny, tiny portions and the meat is mixed with the cheese and olives, so bad for vegetarians. There are so small chocolates and cake, plus some cheap bread and jam. Skip breakfast and go to Borderi / a cafe instead. The bed is comfy but very bouncy so not great if you partner moves a lot in the night.

Wonderful b&b in the heart of Ortigia. Our room had a view over the Temple of Apollo! Very friendly owner who takes good care of you. It's an old building in the cemetery of town so there is some street noise at night, as you'd expect. To us, it was worth it for the unbeatable location.

Great location, but...
Great location. Pleasant, helpful host. But the room, although large and well furnished, was very cold. Minimal heat early morning and at night, which could not be controlled from the room. Basic pre packaged breakfast. Some traffic and construction noise, along with the room temperature, detracted from our stay.

In the beginning we came for two nights and decided to stay for longer. Super warm hospitality of owners. Sparkling clean. Comfortable sleeping beds. Apartment has special unique atmosphere, it is wonderful to be inside, explore this historical place, its tiles on the floor, ceiling. Enjoy breakfast and try marsala wine. Thank you, Sergio and Rita! We would be glad to come back

Amazing owners♡ Located in a historical building with fantastic black and white tiled floor, also very impressive ceiling painted with flower bouquets. Centrally located: Apollo temple is right in front of it, so you can see it from the balcony, also distant sea view on the left. Everything is close: churches, cafes, Ortigia local market (selling vegetables, fruits, nuts), promenade. Super tasty generous breakfast. Oh, and we loved the feeling of waking up and seeing a breakfast on a dining room's table already awaiting for us, every morning is like a birthday surprise. Feeling warm inside, thank you!

Nice room if you like B&Bs
We don’t stay at B&Bs generally. The owner was very friendly and accommodating. The building has construction going on that really didn’t bother us but a bit unsightly. The room is within walking distance of duomo and shopping. Room (2nd floor) right in piazza - lively location. Room itself is huge -we were only ones in apt so bathroom was private but normally would be shared if other rooms occupied.

think twice
the hotel is in a central position, close to everything. however although our reservation covered a private bathroom they gave us a room with no bathroom. the breakfast needs to be improved. the room is wide and spacious. the wifi is awful. you have to wait for half an hour for a page to open.

large rooms overlooking Temple of Apollo, Ortygia
This B & B is advertised as 'ensuite' but that's not the case. None of the rooms has an ensuite bathroom. We did have a private bathroom, but it was not connected to our room and we had to walk through the common area where the breakfast table was to get to it. The other rooms similarly had assigned bathrooms but none was contiguous to a bedroom. Breakfast was another problem. Nothing was really prepared, including the coffee. It might better be described as a self-catering accommodation. No comparison to the other hotels and B & Bs we stayed at.
