Breakfast

We are a small, family-run guesthouse, not classified as a B&B, and we do not have any common areas. For this reason, we do not offer breakfast, but we do like to welcome our guests with a few small touches in their rooms: - 2 bottles of water - Coffee capsules - Tea, herbal teas, and instant coffee ? Everything is always available for a relaxing break. We hope these small touches make your stay even more enjoyable!

The room is very nice. The mattresses and pillows need to be reviewed.

The answer from the host:
Gentile Giuliana, la ringraziamo per aver soggiornato presso la nostra struttura e per aver condiviso la sua opinione. Ci fa piacere che abbia trovato la camera carina, anche se ci dispiace leggere i suoi voti, che ci sembrano poco coerenti con quanto espresso. Siamo rimasti perplessi dal punteggio assegnato alla posizione, considerando che ci troviamo nel cuore di Ortigia, una delle zone più apprezzate e centrali di Siracusa, nonché centro storico a pochi passi dalla Cattedrale. Anche i giudizi su materassi e cuscini ci hanno sorpresi, poiché è la prima volta che riceviamo una critica su questi aspetti: quasi 200 ospiti, su diverse piattaforme, li hanno sempre valutati molto positivamente. Accogliamo sempre con attenzione i suggerimenti costruttivi, ma riteniamo che una critica debba essere accompagnata da una valutazione equilibrata e utile al miglioramento. Ci impegniamo ogni giorno per offrire un soggiorno piacevole e continueremo a farlo con passione e dedizione. Cordiali saluti,

I was very happy with the accommodation. The owner Andrea is very helpful and sent me many useful information via WhatsApp. The room was modern and clean. The location is ideal for visiting Ortigia. There is a small Coop supermarket downstairs, very useful. I would return to this accommodation.

The answer from the host:
Gentile An, grazie di vero cuore ?? per le sue parole! Siamo felicissimi che abbia apprezzato il soggiorno, la posizione, la pulizia della camera e la nostra disponibilità, è sempre un piacere sapere che i nostri sforzi vengono riconosciuti. Ci fa piacere che abbia trovato utili le informazioni condivise e che la presenza del supermercato sotto casa abbia reso tutto ancora più comodo. Sapere che tornerebbe da noi è la soddisfazione più grande! La aspettiamo con gioia per una futura visita a Ortigia. Lucia Siracusa Ortigia by Duomo

The only flaw of our stay in Ortigia was not being able to stay longer. The room we stayed in was perfect for our needs, and it was a stroke of luck to find it right in Ortigia with little notice and at a fair price. The best aspect was the host's attention: they took the care to find us a free parking space near the property just before our arrival, thus facilitating and speeding up our access, all with the warm hospitality that characterizes Sicilians. I recommend it 100% and hope to return soon.

Very helpful and kind owners, they even provided parking as soon as we arrived at Siracusa Ortigia by Duomo. Very nice rooms recently renovated. The only flaw, the building lacks an elevator.
