What guests say

Reviews emphasize the host's friendliness and helpfulness, with guests appreciating the excellent hospitality. The property's central location makes it easy to reach the city's main attractions, and private parking is a plus. Rooms are spacious, clean, and comfortable, with some mentioning a modern design and nice extras like a piano. Breakfast is typically offered at a nearby café and is generally well received. Some minor issues were noted, such as no elevator or occasional noise, but overall the value for money is rated highly and stays are very enjoyable.

We were very well received by Salvo, the communication is excellent. He provided us with a secure parking space. The accommodation is well located, in the centre and close to everything. We did the sightseeing on foot. The room is spacious and comfortable and the bedding is good. The bathroom is practical. We received a voucher for breakfast at a café around the corner, simple but good, and the staff is very friendly. The only downside of our stay: there was construction in the building. Workers knocked on the main apartment door quite early in the morning and there was construction noise (drills and other machines). Otherwise I recommend it! Thank you Salvo.

Very quiet B&B. The owner is extremely kind. Comfortable room with a living area. The only shortcoming is mine: I cannot play the piano in the living area. Thanks again, Salvatore.

We had a great time. Already before arrival the host was very helpful and, when we were there, we could feel that he was doing everything he could to make sure we had a great time. The room itself was very modern, clean and well equipped. Convenient parking spot and only a short walk from the old centre. All in all, I can fully recommend Il Pianoforte B&B!

Comfortable, spacious and super clean property. Salvo, the owner, was very kind and helpful during all our experiences. Highly recommended. A heartfelt thank you from Vito and Donatella.

luca

Excellent B&B halfway between Ortigia and the Neapolis archaeological area. Do not be put off by the exterior of the building because the room is very nice and cozy and the hosts are very friendly and ready to provide lots of useful information. Not to be overlooked is the opportunity to park the car safely.

Very warm welcome from Salvio. The B&B is magnificent, comfortable and spacious for a family of 4 people. A 10-minute walk from Ortigia. The breakfast is very generous and very good. It was perfect.

Merci beaucoup Frédérique

A beautiful and spacious apartment! Very nicely decorated - there is even a piano, complete with sheet music, if you want/can play! The landlord is very kind and helpful! There is also a parking space available (although Google Maps may not be reliable here, as the street has been one-way for only a few months; it's better to contact the landlord shortly before). Breakfast in a bar opposite with a good selection (definitely try the typical Sicilian breakfast with brioche and granita!) and very friendly service. A few minutes' walk to the Archaeological Park with the Greek Theatre. About 20 minutes' walk to Ortigia. Orientation is very easy, as the accommodation is located in a small side street of the main connection road from Syracuse to Ortigia. I would come back at any time!

It is a large, clean and comfortable apartment about 15-20 minutes walking to Ortigia. The host was kind and helpful. The many stairs to reach the flat is a little problem. There is not a lift.

eric

Salvo was very accommodating on arrival and departure times. The apartment is quiet and clean. The parking for the car is a plus. The distance from Ortigia may be inconvenient for people who do not walk much, we knew this in advance and it did not bother us, on the other hand it is close to the Paolo Orsi museum.

We used a double room for two, with spacious and well-structured spaces. Kind and helpful owner, breakfast at the bar.

raffaello

The strong point is the owner, very kind, extremely polite and ready to make himself immediately available to promptly solve the air conditioning problems of the first day, also proposing to offer us a night at the property in the future due to the inconveniences experienced. Very appreciable. Breakfast at a bar nearby but do not go before 7:30, you might risk not finding milk for the cappuccino or ready granita with disappointment from the bar manager sorry for not being able to offer you what you wanted.

Salvo is a lovely and helpful person. Knowing that I had several suitcases, he wanted to pick me up at the station. The room is a tastefully furnished two-room apartment with all the services available, from wifi to air conditioning, from the fridge to the TV with Netflix (which was very useful to me, given that it was pouring rain!). The bathroom has a hydromassage shower. Salvo provides bikes, but unfortunately, as I mentioned before, it rained all the time and I couldn't use them. We will definitely come back, maybe in spring. One last gem, there is a vertical piano in the room, beautiful to me as a piece of furniture since I'm not good with music!

I had a great time at this property both in terms of location and also for the manager's availability.

The answer from the host:
Grazie Martina, siamo contenti che tu ti sia trovata bene. Speriamo di averti ancora come ospite in futuro.

tommaso

Magnificent experience for me and my partner, a shame we only stayed one night. Host Salvo was friendly and helpful from the start; he was flexible with the check-in time and very kind, providing useful information about the city of Syracuse. The accommodation has private parking, for which Salvo provided us with GPS coordinates and once we arrived, he came to open for us. The room is on the second floor of a quiet and peaceful building, the room was extremely clean and fragrant; we had everything we needed: towels, shampoo, shower gel, fridge with water bottles and fruit juices, kettle to make tea or herbal teas, and air conditioning. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, breakfast was not buffet style but Salvo excellently provided it directly in the room, simply EXCEPTIONAL, compliments! For any doubts or problems, Salvo is available, in fact, among other things, even though he was busy the next day, he found a way for us to leave the car in the parking and wander freely and carefree around the city. The cherry on top, at check-out he also gave us a small handmade souvenir related to his passion for music, unforgettable. Thank you very much Salvo, if I were to return to Syracuse, I would definitely choose your magnificent B&B again. Goodbye. Tommaso.

The answer from the host:
Ciao Tommaso, grazie infinite per la fantastica recensione. Spero di potervi ospitare ancora, magari in un periodo meno "pandemico". Alla prossima!
