L'Approdo delle Sirene B&B  

The location of the b&b is excellent. The island of Ortygia is the most beautiful place and this b&b is situated in a great place for exploring the island, wlaking the narrow italian streets, walking around the marina and visiting restaurants/cafes etc

Top quality room, exceptionally clean. Location perfect, quiet at night, 5 min walk to central ortiga.Great breakfast served on roof top terrace.

Location and staf were excellent. Breakfast was really one of the best we ever had at a B&B and the view from the terrace over the harbour is beautiful. The room had some very nice facilities (laptop). Please follow the recommendations for restaurants, they were all excellent.

We liked the location, cleanliness of the room and wonderful breakfast.

We did not enjoy the "attic" room. We were forwarned that it was an attic room, however the only window was a skylight. The shade which obsured the light did not work and so morning light came early and directly onto our faces.Internet connection was also weak in this attic room. I would suggest splurging a bit more for a lower level room.

Very friendly staff, good location, wifi.

The staff are friendly, courteous and helpful. The rooms are nice and comfortable. Wi-fi connection a bit weak. The strength of the hotel is the terrace on the top, which overlooks the gulf, breathtaking. Breakfast is good and well presented, however, a few more savoury items wouldn't harm. If you're coming by car the hotel is easy to find, the only problem is the lack of hotel parking, and traffic guards do not forgive you if you park in the wrong spot.

An exceptionally well run b & b - comfortable and many thoughtful touches such as the owner's freshly-baked pastries for breakfast. Extremely helpful and friendy staff made our stay is real pleasure.

Breakfast, location, helpful staff.

Little bit high price.

Welcoming staff, personal approach Good information and service on city environment, restaurants and tourist destinations Excellent breakfast with fresh produce Spacious room in quiet part of town Sufficient parking opportunities

Lovely B&B on a perfect location in Ortigia. Nice room.

Excellent location and the terrace with view of the harbour was beautiful to sit in the morning while having breakfast. Also, the breakfast was excellent for this price range b&b, lovely varity of food etc. The free access to Internet with net book in the room was good although was very slow.

Check-in greeting wasn't the most welcoming. We got a breif introduction to the city with a map. No recommendations for resturants or where we would find them. Also we didn't find out until we were leaving that we had the use of bicycles for no extra charge. We would have liked a friendlier welcome and information to what the b&b had to offer. The room needed a little bit of updating. Although it was clean, it was starting to look a little tired. Shower was a little mouldy and the other cover in the bed looked like it needed to be freshened up. Also the air conditioning didn't seem to work properly.

This b&b was absolutely lovely and in a wonderful location, right off the bridge to Ortygia. The building is very secure, and there is an elevator to assist you with our luggage. The staff was very accomodating, and did everything possible to make our stay comfortable. When we first arrived, we were offered a drink and a lovely fruit platter on the upper deck overlooking the harbor, so that we could relax from our trip--a very thoughtful start. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and provide everything that you need, including a fridge and safe. The shower was quite large--a luxury in European countries. We were provided with a map, and assistance in finding the best restaurants in the area. Breakfast, which is included, was fabulous with fresh fruit, pastries, local meats and cheeses, yogurt, cereal, coffee, and juices. For the price, I feel that this property is an excellent value, and would highly recommend it to travelers in this area.

There is not a lot of privacy, because the rooms are not well insulated, but we found this throughout Italy.

The position is simply enchanting and the Mermaids are charming and ready to help whatever issue you may have... Great "luxury" B&B!
