We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Stefano is the perfect host, extremely helpful and accomodating. The location is perfect. The breakfast is the best we had on our trip. The room was clean.

We absolutely loved Aretusa Vacanze! The room was very cozy and spacious. The owners were there every morning preparing breakfast, and the rest of the family helped manage the B&B beautifully. We especially appreciated Stefano’s dinner recommendations.
Maria, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Aretusa Vacanze was excellent and all the staff were so friendly. The breakfasts were very good and they were enhanced by the excellent selection of homemade jams. Parking was about 10 minutes walk away for €20/ day in a private lot which was reasonable for the area.

Excellent family run B&B
A lovely family run B&B with a rooftop terrace overlooking the city and the sea. Wonderful breakfasts with choice of delicious homemade jams and yummy croissants etc. Our room was large and comfortable and the bathroom totally modern. Stefano provided great restaurant recommendations and helped with travel arrangements. Highly recommend and great value!

Location, location, location
Even though we had booked two weeks at a beach resort in Giardini-Naxos we still opted to come here for an overnight stay to get more from our visit to Ortigia/Siracusa than you can from just a day trip. Perfectly situated, close to everything and still on a nice and calm enough street. Best breakfast that we had in our two weeks in Sicily. Everybodys' reviews speak of the jams but really, you NEED to try them! Great host with good English, but still enough patience to also let me practise my Italian. Highly recommended and we'd gladly come back if we come to Ortigia again! /Jessie and Åke from Sweden

I can't say enough nice things about the hosts. They were so accommodating and gave us great recommendations on restaurants. The location is very close to the main areas. The room was wonderful. There was a place to hang your laundry on a little terrace. I would highly recommend staying here. Ortigia is just beautiful.

Pearl of Ortigia FANTASTIC STAY!!!
Stefano and his amazing family offer family friendly, affordable, first class service. Do not miss the opportunity to enjoy a true Italian treasure in one of the most beautiful locations available. Super convenient to everything the Island of Ortigia (Isola di Ortigia). Rooms are lovely. Breakfast is fabulous. I can't say enough about our stay here.

A Delight
Fantastic family run small hotel which provides excellent value and is ideally placed to enjoy the delights of Syracuse. Rooms are spacious with good facilities. Stefano and his staff go out of their way to help and nothing is too much trouble to make your stay perfect. The roof terrace is a highlight and you can enjoy your breakfast with views over the city to the sea or enjoy the sunset. We will definitely be back.
Paul, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The B&B was centrally located with easy walking to all the sights on the island of Ortygia. The room and bathroom were spacious and modern. The breakfast was very good which was served on the rooftop deck with views of the city. The owner and staff were very friendly and helpful. The parking garage was unavailable and we had to park over the bridge in Syracuse, about a 10 minute walk away.

10/10 Exceptional

We were welcomed by Stefano, whose English was excellent. He was gracious and helpful in the extreme. This is a truly family-run business, including Stafano's father (Maurizio) and son (Christian). We have also met Antonio, who works on the front desk. The room was spotlessly clean and of the highest quality. A fridge as part of a small kitchen, access to a little courtyard, high speed wi-fi, a superior wall safe, lots of storage space and really effective air-conditioning gives you everything you want and more. Stefano had arranged a taxi from Catania Airport to Aretusa Vacanze with his friend, Danilo, for €90.
