Seaview is more than beauteful, rooms are very comfortable, clean and cosy. Hotel managers are very polite and friendly. Breakfast is delicious and fresh. The hotel is located not far from the Ortigia, in a very convenient place. One or two times occured small problems with hot water.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this very charming and contemporary hotel. The highlight must be the crashing waves below the balcony and nothing but sea view from our room. Sabrina, the host and Giovanna were very pleasant. It's a fair hike to Ortyga (15 min.) to find a good choice of restaurants - there isn't anything of note on the Siracusa- side near the hotel. Nonetheless, the setting is fabulous.

First of all the location. You have your private beach. I took the bath in the sea at the end of October. If the sea is calm, there are no problems. There are steps to the cliff with the easy entrance into the sea. You can rent for free a swimming shoes and the mask. Strongly recommended. Than the parking. It costs 5 eur but you need it. The reception room is very large and nice decorated. The terrace for breakfast is limited but the location above the sea is great. Probably it is hot during the summer but it is very convenient in October. The breakfast was great. Limon pie is the best. To take a visit of the Siracusa I recommend to use a car and free parking facilities near the harbor (0 eur until 9 P.M., than 1 eur during the night).

Nice view from the hotel over the sea. Breakfast room was rather small, which is no problem if the wheather allows one to have breakfast on the balcony.

Owner/hostess, Sabrina, was inviting, engaging, very helpful in facilitating our stay in Siracusa. The room was sparkling with an expansive view, and the breakfasts exceeded expectations. The b&b is just far enough away from traffic, yet within moderate walking distance of Ortigia, and driving to and from the autostrada. A delightful stay in a delightful city.

Lovely B & B. Really friendly staff. Great views from the rooms and good breakfasts. About a 20 minute walk to the Old Town. The first 10 minutes of which were along a busy road.

The B @ B is situated right on the water and we were able to park our car at the door for a small charge. The whole place including our room and the breakfast area has great views of the sea. A short walk up the road was a lovely restaurant also overlooking the sea. The staff could not have been more helpful. Getting to the water to swim was a bit of a problem as the coast is very rocky.The B&B does supply shoes to get to the water and its well worth it as water is crystal clear and beautiful to swim in.

The location out of the main tourist area, quiet and right on the seaside, you can swin in the sea directly from the back step. All the sights and highlights of Siricusa are within walking distance. There is a fantastic restaurant close by with great views and fantastic food. The b&b has 6 beautifual rooms all with views, space and there is a well equiped common area. Sabrina is a fantastic host and will do anything for you, nothing is too much trouble. The breakfast had a huge choice all with local produce. We loved our stay there and would reccommend to our friends. A additional highlight of this stay was a Segway tour around the old city of Ortiga.

The friendly welcome, we were especially grateful to be offered a warm drink on our arrival. The tastefully decorated spacious room and bathroom with its fluffy towels. The convenient parking. The fantastic breakfast. The fact that we only stayed 2 nights. OK it's a 20 minute walk from Ortiga but after that breakfast you need the exercise.

This B&B really has all the comforts you want when you travel. The house has all the modern conveniences, is spotless, with beautiful views from every window. Breakfast is beautifully presented, plenty to eat. The staff spoils you and really wants to make you feel at home. will only stay at Giugiulenas when I return to Siracusa.

Herzlicher Empfang und Service. Geäußerte Wünsche (zusätzliche Stühle und ein Tisch für den Balkon) wurden umgehend erfüllt. Moderate Preise in der Minibar und Kühlmöglichkeit für eigenen Wein. Lage des Hotels direkt an der Steilküste mit unmittelbarem Zugang zum Meer -der Einstieg ins Wasser ist nicht ganz einfach, aber zum Schwimmen ist es wunderbar. Neben dem zum Zimmer gehörigen Balkon steht noch eine Dachterrasse mit Liegen zur Verfügung, wenn am Nachmittag die Balkone im Schatten liegen. Ganz toll der jeweils frisch zubereitete und nett servierte Capuccino Bei so viel Positivem fällt es fast schwer, Kritik zu üben; sei bitte nicht böse Sabrina: Die Ausstattung der Zimmer ist verbesserungsfähig durch einen Tisch und zusätzliche Ablagemöglichkeiten im Zimmer. Auch im Badezimmer würden zusätzliche Ablagen die Unterbringung von Kosmetika erleichtern und eine zusätzliche Handtuchstange wäre hilfreich. Trotz der anderweitig positiven Beurteilung des Frühstücksbuffets waren wir davon nicht besonders angetan. Frisches Brot war eher wenig, die trockene Kekse überflüssig und die Darreichung der köstlichen Marmeladen in engen Marmeladengläsern unschön.

Een ongelooflijk aantrekkelijke ligging, men logeert als het ware boven de zee in nette kamers met ruime balkons. De gastvrouw van deze B&B is erg vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Goed verzorgd ontbijt. Privégarage als parking is erg praktisch. Kortom, een echte aanrader.
