refrigerator in the room was a bit noisy.

We had a wonderful stay at La Sicilia in un Sogno. The host, Giulia, was exceptionally welcoming and warm — a truly positive and communicative person. From the moment we arrived, she made sure we had everything we needed and responded to every question immediately. She even asked about special preferences for breakfast, which made the experience feel very personal and thoughtful. Breakfast was a real highlight — fresh and delicious, with items sourced from her family’s bakery, which added a lovely local touch. The apartment is spacious, featuring three guest rooms and a shared dining area and kitchen on the ground floor. Each room is private for individual guests or families, and ours was quite large, modern, and very clean. While the refrigerator in the room was a bit noisy, it was easy to manage by simply turning it off at night. The room faced the street, but there’s a grill over the window for added security. Despite the street-level setting, everything inside is beautifully renovated and cozy, so there’s no reason for concern. One thing to note is that the part of the city where the apartment is located may appear a bit run-down at first glance. It’s not the cleanest area and can seem a little rough or suspicious, especially compared to the historic old town — which is quite the opposite: clean, lively, elegant, and more expensive. That said, we never felt unsafe, and it’s just a more typical, residential side of Syracuse that adds a bit of contrast to the overall experience. Giulia also gave us great local recommendations, which helped us explore the city more like locals. On the first day, there was a mild smell in the room — possibly from cleaning products — but it quickly went away by the next day. Parking was simple and free — right on the narrow street outside, with other nearby streets offering more space if needed.

The neighborhood is a bit on the outskirts and a bit strange but close to the archaeological sites and you are in the city centre kind of quick.

The host Giulia was amazing, always helping out and giving us tips. Also providing us extra food for our way. It made the stay extra nice. The room was very big and renovated. Clean and comfortable. Couldn't ask for more.

Lovely host, lovely breakfast with freshly made (by her family!) sweet and savoury pastries. Excellent value. About a 15 minute stroll to Ortigia island, which is beautiful and fascinating; much nearer, don’t miss the remarkable Madonna Lacrima church.

Nicely presented room, enhancing the old and new in its sympathetic decoration.

The only thing that could make the accommodation even better is that breakfast is served at 8:30 AM, which is quite late if your plan is to see as much of eastern Sicily as possible.

The accommodation is spacious and well-equipped, with good lighting, a very comfortable bed, and a bathroom that meets all your needs. The silence at night is fantastic. There is good parking nearby: we were able to park a few meters from the entrance every day. The area seems safe, and Ortigia is not far away, just a short walk. Giulia was very friendly and attentive; we had no problems communicating via WhatsApp and received helpful advice from her afterward. Breakfast was good and sufficient.

This is a very clean and comfortable place in a traditional Italian building. Guilia and Lorenzo were kind and welcoming. For breakfast, there’s coffee and Italian savory/sweet pastries, as well as fruit and muesli if you prefer something lighter. Ortigia is about a 15-minute walk away, and you can park on the street. The area is quiet, and we felt safe throughout our stay. Thank you very much!! ❤️

Giulia was the perfect host! She attended to everything to make our stay so enjoyable. The pastries at breakfast were exceptional. The room had all the modern conveniences while still maintaining the Renaissance character of the venue. I would highly recommend this B&B to anyone!

Very practical to access both the archeological park and Ortigia by walk. The design of the room is lovely yet modern. The owner took exceptionally good care of us.

The only thing I found hard was not having any outside space to sit when we returned to our room in the afternoon and evening. With just 1 window that opened onto the street it felt a little closed in. But the positives of this bnb outweighed that.

The location was very much a neighbourhood location in Siracusa easy walking distance to the main centre and to Ortigia. While on appearance it maybe didn't look so safe we never felt unsafe there. Easy free parking on the street if you have a car. There is a kitchen that you can use to make coffee and snack. Giulia our host of the BnB was absolutely lovely coming every morning to serve us breakfast. She was also really helpful with local information. The room was lovely, stylish decorated, very clean, comfortable bed etc.

It might be a bit noisy from the street, but during night it is calm.

Amazing rooms, very modern and yet keeping the authentic spirit of Siracusa. The staff were really nice, the breakfast was hand-made and delicious. Parking is free in the street, walking to the bridges of Ortigia is around 10-12 minutes.
