Cathedral of St. Bartholomew

The Ortigia Royal Suite is truly a dream. The Suites are beautiful, charming, and clean. There is an amazing rooftop terrace overlooking the sea- perfect to watch the sunrise, star gaze, or simply relax with some wine. It is the perfect location, quiet and walkable to many restaurants and shops. The owner Pepe greeted us with espresso when we checked in and showed us around and made us feel at home. The concierge Massimo was beyond helpful and friendly- always making sure we had everything we needed and prompt in his responses whenever we needed to reach out. He also provided us with tons of information on what to do and see around Ortigia. We rented a car and their valet parking service was easy and convenient. The hotel also provides breakfast vouchers at the most charming cafe just a short walk away where we had the best cornettos, fruit, and cappuccinos each morning. I will be going back to Ortigia and staying here whenever I do !

Beautiful villa decorated and stylish. Quiet and calm. I cared less for the minimal breakfast. And for the unwelcoming closed gate.
