    Large, pretty bedroom and sitting room. Great location in a quiet piazza in centro storico. Restaurants and cafes close by. Comfortable bed. So nice to relax on couch after sightseeing. Easy check in. Highly recommend staying here in beautiful Ortigia.

    It would have been nice to have had breakfast but there was a small cafe close by that was ok. For people who have a hard time with stairs it's important to know that there is no elevator.

    Perfectly situated. Beautiful rooms and nice staff.

    An oasis in the heart of bustling Ortigia

    Parking is the main problem. Ask the manager for help. Via della Giudecca is a narrow street for pickup and dropoff only. There's paid parking at Parking Talete 700m north of the hotel (use meters or phone app to pay), and limited free parking just south on the street Elio Vittorio at the white lines. Otherwise, street parking is largely for residents only. We saw cars being towed that did not have the right permit.

    Location is the main draw of La Via della Giudecca. It is steps away from cafes, attractions, shops, and restaurants. Once inside, it is a tranquil oasis with spacious rooms and a courtyard with lots of plants and skylight. The manager is very helpful with advice and tips. If you are driving into town, get your car registered at the desk for permission to drive in the restricted areas (most of Ortigia).

    The fridge is on but not needed. We turned it off to save energy, but housekeeping turned it back on. It seems crazy to gave a fridge running when not needed.

    Fabulous location in the Jewish quarter. Very helpful staff gave us a map highlighting all of Cortigua's best bits. We had top floor suite with a private balcony.

    The stairs are long and challenging, and there is no elevator. Do NOT choose this hotel if you have mobility problems.

    Location was outstanding on Via della Giudecca in Ortigia. The room was not outstanding. Comfortable and pleasant enough, but noisy at night and up two very steep, long and difficult flights of stairs.

    Spacious room. A big terrace where you can relax and watch sunrise. Reception is very helpful. Ortigia is so small that you can just walk everywhere.

    Nothing we didn't like.

    Beautiful place to stay. Lovely building. Furnished thoughtfully and tastefully. Very helpful & friendly people. Location, just ideal. We took 2 rooms 4 traveling (6 weeks in Italy) and we all agreed we hadn't been in a better place. Very much recommended. We arrived by car outside hotel, dropped bags and parked (€15 per day in parking Tallete) very easy. Lovel island for wandering. Hotel right next to church with tour of subterranean system - really excellent.

    It would have been nice to have a breakfast option. However, it was made clear before booking that there wasn't any.

    The hotel is spotlessly clean and in a fantastic location, close to the main attractions of Ortigia without any of the noise. The staff are extremely helpful, nothing is too much trouble. The bed was comfortable with a choice of pillows in the room (one firm, one less so).

    I’d stayed here 8 yrs ago and it was a full-feature hotel. Today it’s a bit more like an AirBnb. Staff is seldom there and there’s no coffee or even rudimentary breakfast available. You’re kind of on your own mostly and as long as everything goes well that’s great. Maybe it’s a staffing issue. Puzzled at why there’re are little kitchens without ANY plates cups or spoons even.

    Beautiful place. Nicely designed. Location is awesome
