Breakfast

We offer our guests the chance to enjoy a special breakfast at a historic café just a short walk from our establishment, with tickets starting at €5 per person, available for separate purchase. Breakfast can be enjoyed at the counter or at outdoor tables, allowing you to fully experience the mild Sicilian days while admiring the Cathedral and the Duomo of Ortigia, a UNESCO World Heritage site. This offering highlights the excellence of Sicilian pastries: freshly baked brioche col tuppo and butter croissants, artisanal almond and mulberry granita made with seasonal fruit, Sicilian cannoli filled on the spot with fresh sheep's ricotta, locally roasted espresso coffee, and fresh squeezed citrus juices from Sicily.

Hey from Donovan

Member since April 2026 | 741 hits

I am an experienced host with nearly ten years in the hospitality sector in Syracuse. Since 2016, I have been managing a well-established property in the area of the Greek Theatre, focusing on guest care and maintaining high operational standards. In October 2026, I will be opening Guest House Ortigia Calarossa, a prestigious residence located in the historic center of Ortigia, just 200 meters from the Cathedral and a short walk from Calarossa Beach.

My approach to hospitality combines local expertise with a personal touch: I want every guest to feel at home from the very first moment.

To achieve this, I ensure independent access with an electronic keypad, independent climate control, fiber optic Wi-Fi for remote work, superior amenities, and cleaning services managed with professional protocols.

I am available, discreetly, to offer recommendations on itineraries, local dining, and services, allowing you to experience Ortigia at the leisurely and authentic pace of the island.

My goal is to provide a peaceful, private, and tailored stay in a home designed to make you feel welcomed.
