Breakfast

mirena

We were kindly welcomed. Clean room. Breakfast not served on site but we had to go to a nearby bar, still included. Only issue: room on the third floor, luckily they helped us with the trolleys. They had also offered us the possibility to move to another room on the ground floor in another structure, but we did not accept because it was farther from where we had parked. Difficulty in finding parking.

stayed from 04/23/2024 to 04/24/2024

francoise

Very good value for a short stay near all the tourist sites. Practical bathroom. Clean bed linen. Secure and private parking. Welcoming host. Italian-style breakfast in a pastry café.

The structure was spacious, excellent for the stay of two people. The manager was very kind, courteous and available for any requests, all kept with care. The neighborhood is quiet and the distance from the center and Ortigia is about 15 minutes on foot. A property that has few rivals in terms of quality-price in Syracuse.

stayed from 09/04/2023 to 09/08/2023

loredana

Upon our arrival, the kitchen and balcony were not clean. There was a bad smell in the room and bathroom. The owner was cold and unwelcoming! The apartment's location was quite convenient.

stayed from 08/31/2023 to 09/03/2023

The answer from the host:
Cara ospite siete stati accolti in un appartamento da poco ristrutturato la cucina è un area comune, quindi dipende dagli ospiti tenerla pulita noi possiamo fare la pulizia alla fine del soggiorno circa il rapporto qualità prezzo pagare 25 euro a persona in agosto direi che un buon prezzo, per camera con bagno in camera e colazione. ma se siete abituati al 5 stelle forse dovreste farvi meglio i conti.

francesco

Large and clean room with air conditioning. The manager is very kind and helpful. It's also easy to find parking for your car. Very close to the city center.

Excellent holiday home near the main archaeological sites, the only downside is the bathroom which, on hot summer days, can be turned into a sauna.

The 'Astrea' is located on the third floor without elevators, this is the only negative aspect. Otherwise, it is excellent.

The only thing I could appreciate was the manager's availability for check-in and private parking. The room lacked comfort, there was only a kettle without cups or glasses and cutlery, so much so that I had to cut a plastic bottle to have one.

stayed from 06/02/2023 to 06/03/2023

The answer from the host:
Cara opsite Rispondo alla tua recensione solo per educazione. Stanza priva di confort... non hai idea di cosa siano i confort e del loro prezzo. Infatti una camera con bagno in camera e parcheggio privato difronte al santuario viene venduta a 80 euro; voi avete pagato 50 euro. la colazione al bar è spesso apprezzata comunque, sono gusti. Circa la pulizia e la struttura non so a cosa ti riferisci.

erwin

The operator is only seen briefly during check-in. Suspicious high-rise building with no elevator. Constant noise in the room. Breakfast at a nearby coffee bar.

The communication with the host was friendly and uncomplicated. My apartment had a different address than on the website, so I had to walk a little bit longer from/to the train station. For one night it was perfectly fine.

Comfortable and spacious room. The only problem is the lack of an elevator, located on the third floor.

The answer from the host:
Grazie per aver condiviso la sua esperienza. Come dico a molti ospiti, ho diverse camere, alcune a piano terra, altre a terzo piano. Quindi al momento della prenotazione è sempre bene chiedere, l'esatta ubicazione delle camere.

Quite noisy due to the neighbors, internet connection almost non-existent, connection only in the bathroom, otherwise nice welcome and pleasant stay.

Pleasant structure, well-kept and consistent with the images on the website. Alessandro, the owner, is present but not intrusive, ready to satisfy requests. Good location, close to the museum and the archaeological park, with a tourist bus stop nearby.

The answer from the host:
Grazie per aver apprezzato la mia ospitalità. Per me è stato un piacere incontrarvi.

guillaume

Attention, there are 2 addresses for Astrea. The unofficial one is noisy (busy street) and the isolation between the apartments is not perfect. It takes 20 minutes to get to the old city center of Syracuse. The owner remains available. Breakfast is in a bakery 100 meters away which is good and very enjoyable. Parking is free and next to the apartment.

I stayed for one night at the b&b Astrea. This time I was in a room in a renovated apartment, all with new furniture. The kitchen was equipped with a refrigerator. The location is close to the Sanctuary and the Greek Theater. Breakfast is at a nearby bar. When I return to Siracusa, it will be my reference b&b, hoping to find a spot.

stayed from 07/17/2022 to 07/18/2022

The answer from the host:
La ringrazio per le belle parole farò il possibile per migliore e poter offrire ad ospiti come Lei la migliore accoglienza possibile.

linda

The room, very spacious and clean, corresponds to the photos. The bathroom is very large and equipped with everything necessary. Just outside the structure, there is the bus stop for the tourist bus that goes to Ortigia and Syracuse. About 10 minutes away, with a quiet walk, you reach the archaeological area of Neapolis where the Greek theater is located. Alessandro turned out to be an excellent manager, super helpful and welcoming. I definitely recommend it and hope to be able to return soon.

rosanna

The structure is well renovated, equipped with every comfort. However, the room where I stayed was quite humid and I used the duvet during the night, even though the outside temperatures were already quite high. I stayed for 5 nights and the room was never cleaned. Excellent the bar where breakfast is served!

Good welcome from Alessandro. Well located accommodation next to the ancient ruins of Syracuse, and not very far from the center, about 1km to Ortigia. Parking without too much difficulty on the streets or nearby parking. Spacious rooms and good bedding, breakfast with a warm welcome in a bar 80m away, bathrooms a bit chilly in mid-season because the radiators do not work, air conditioning in the rooms ok.

Comfortable and convenient B&B. We only stayed one night to attend the performances at the Greek theater, very close and easily reachable on foot. The owner was courteous and helpful. The three rooms are simple, essential, and very spacious. Absolute silence and comfortable beds. Independent heating and air conditioning. Breakfast more than sufficient in a dedicated room. Important to know: The apartment is on the third floor without an elevator. One room has an en-suite bathroom, while the other two have a large bathroom each, but in the corridor. We had a great experience and will gladly return.

Siamo stati ospitati dal gentilissimo gestore in una struttura nuovissima di via Teocrito, in stanza molto fresca e silenziosa, pulitissima. Posizione ottima, di fronte al Santuario, accanto al Museo Archeologico, a due passi dal complesso archeologico di San Giovanni, a pochi minuti, a piedi dal Teatro, di fronte alla fermata del bus navetta n°2, che arriva al capolinea, Molo Sant'Antonio, da dove il n° 1 porta ad Ortigia (biglietto unico- durata 90'; nessun bisogno di automobile). Da riconfermare per una prossima visita.
