Minareto in Syracuse

We could not recommend Minareto more! The room was just as advertised with gorgeous views across the water to Ortigia. The massages were amazing, and the private beaches, pool and jacuzzi meant we felt no need to leave the resort. Although the onsite restaurant was delicious, the staff were also kind enough to recommend other local restaurants and arrange transport to allow for some variation. The stand out of the trip however, was the amazing staff who went out of their way to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. We hope to return again some day!

Loved this hotel across from Ortigia in Siracusa. Modern and classic with great views and swimming options. Loved the lounges overlooking the sea. Room was luxurious and well appointed.

Fabulous hotel, beautiful location looking across the bay to Siracusa!! Grounds, rooms, poo, private beach and facilities are all excellent and spotlessly maintained ! It’s a few Kilometres out of the town so would need to drive / taxi / boat taxi into Siracusa / Ortigia which is approx 15 mins! Did not eat in the restaurant but breakfast was superb and fitting of a 5 star hotel ! Staff friendly and very helpful and nothing was too much trouble, particular thanks to Luca for looking after us!

Front desk staff, concierge, the lifeguard Alexandro, and the site maintenance staff are all so kind, helpful, friendly and attentive. The restaurant was amazing and the service was perfect. They organized a boat into town for us and it was a beautiful boat ride at night both ways. Very nice to see the Ortigia / Syracuse city lights at night. This place is impeccable and they keep the grounds in great shape. The option for the private beach or private rock facing Ortigia is great for morning to sunset sun. The water is crystal clear and there are beautiful caves to explore with lots of small little fish to see. The sand is soft and the wat is is shallow to walk into with virtually no waves at the beach. Very secluded. Such an amazing place.

very pleasant surprise – beautiful hotel and location

Our stay at Minareto was a very pleasant surprise.
The hotel is beautifully designed and perfectly maintained, with great attention to detail in both architecture and landscape design. The gardens and vegetation are arranged with real taste, creating a peaceful and elegant atmosphere.

The private beach is truly special — set in a quiet, protected bay with crystal-clear water and a relaxing vibe.
The terrace area for sunset is also wonderful, with one of the best views in the area.

Service throughout the hotel was friendly, professional, and discreet, and the possibility to order directly via WhatsApp made everything easy and comfortable.

We didn’t take the boat trip to Ortigia this time — the sunset was too early in the season — but we’ll definitely try it next time.

Overall, a beautiful and well-run property, and definitely among our top 3 favorite hotels.
Warm thanks to the entire Minareto team for such a lovely stay.
