The location is perfect for walking around to take pictures of old streets and sunrise over the sea. Watch out in the shower! Make sure the smaller nozzle is facing down before turning on the water
We had no prior booking and booked there and then at 2300 hours. Rooms bed is wide, firm mattress. Pool/spa not free - about 40 euro PP. Hot breakfast ( omelet can be ordered via app, fresh juices, ham cuts
A lovely hotel that's convenient for parking and very welcoming. I recommend.
) but include in the stay price. Roof top with selfcervice bar ( you log into computer what you take)
Second time in this hotel. Nice to come back. Bed is comfortable, staff tries hard.
Negative points: very low quality breakfast not for 4 stars hotel, and we booked executive room but its the same as standard
Excellent location, large and clean rooms, helpful staff, reasonable and simple breakfast (nothing more than that, you should add vegetables)
The bathroom shower leaked all over the floor so we put a towel on the floor. The toilet push button was very finicky
The rooms were dated
The breakfast was very good
Excellent location
The staff were very helpful
Great location very walkable. Staff was pleasant and breakfast was plentiful and tasty. Stay here again.
Great location brilliant breakfast and very nice room friendly staff.
Good front desk staff, welcoming breakfast staff, clean room and good area for walking to attractions.
I know it's a luxury only available during off season. They also gave us good recommendations for places to eat. Also a bonus that they have eggs for the breakfast buffet which is. nice after only getting croissants 😅
The location of the hotel on Ortega itself is fabulous and you are totally spoilt for choice of restaurants, cafes, bars, market and gelato shops with everything in walking distance
We had a truly wonderful week and the unique nature of the hotel and its lovely staff greatly contributed to making it a memorable and enjoyable trip for us
What a great stay at the Charme. Staff were wonderful the hotel is beautiful the room excellent and the terrace is a wonderful place to just sit and look over the sea. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly
This is an hotel full of character and style with brilliant service from truly excellent staff. Our room was large, very comfortable and clean with A/C and an excellent shower which was greatly appreciated
Beautiful and very unique with its dining terrace and bountiful breakfast overlooking the bay. Close to numerous waterfront restaurants, shopping and historical attractions, like the nearby fort
We returned frequently to the terrace for afternoon beers after having been out early to explore before the hottest part of the day. We then went out again for an evening exploration and dinner
The hotel was everything we hoped for and more besides and the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff cannot be overstated
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!
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
While the breakfast was very impressive with fresh local ingredients, we were upset by our sheets having multiple stains upon arrival, strong cleaning odors, and no water being delivered to our room during turn down service
The hotel charges you for water and squeezes out everything they can get. We also requested towels while we were in the jacuzzi and they never arrived. We would recommend that you stay on the island of Ortigia instead
Myself and my girlfriend stayed her for a short (a few days) trip in Ortigia, and the experience was great. The location is amazing, right on the beachfront near everything, and the staff go above and beyond
The Domus Mariae Albergo was an exceptional find! The staff was friendly and extremely helpful in finding parking (an issue in Ortigia), recommending sites to see as well as authentic restaurants patronized by the locals
We weren't the easiest guests im sure, we had many small, but persistent requests and the staff were consistently friendly, and more than happy to meet our requests with grace and enthusiasm
I can't comment on breakfast, as we opted to have brunch at a nearby Bistro, but this is in no way a comment on the breakfasts at the hotel; this is simply how we like to holiday
The room was great, the only thing I wanted more was a kettle. The staff was lovely and the hotel is in a good area, on the beautiful island of Ortigia!
Beautiful ocean view, very clean and spaciousroom! Easy to drive to, but also close to the town center. Most helpful staff! Thank you!
Absolutely the best hotel in Siracusa! We were upgraded to a sea view loft suite for free! Very large room, harbor view outside the window, clean bedding, luxurious breakfast, and warm service
We went in the off-season and parked in front of the hotel for 16
The hotel is right by the sea, with a good location and valet parking for 15 euros a day. The service staff is very enthusiastic, but the speed is slow. The lobby is beautiful and large
However, there is a vanity and toilet on the second floor. Next time I come, I will consider staying in a hotel or B&B in the old town that is closer to the beach and has a balcony
The room service as well as the friendly reception were excellent,,,
Parking was also smooth,
The welcome drink was very delicious.
When checking in, the front desk staff was very enthusiastic. They introduced us that the hotel was formerly a post office
But if you really looking for the hotel that very convenient for transportation, i 100% recommend this hotel
Actually it's not as bad as the reviews say, it's pretty good. The hotel is right outside the train station, which is seamless and very convenient for people with luggage
This hotel is the best choice if u want to stay near the station. Its located right in front of the station
Did a quick baggage drop off today and they were simply spectacular when we came back for a bags they offer coffee for free and we were very intentive and we had a bottle of wine that we had brought back and they offered us to use our tables to sit down and dry our wineDefinitely a class act definitely not something I’m used to when you’re directly across the train station
In the morning, you will be served typical italian breakfast and I love the hospitality of the lady in this hotel. about the room is comfortable and enough to stay for 1-2 nights
Great luggage storage option near the train station. The gentleman offered us water and let us hang around the lobby while we waited for our train. Will consider this hotel for our next step.
The convergence recommendation for beach was awful!
The location is absolutely fantastic; the balcony offers stunning sunset views. There are many excellent restaurants downstairs. The hotel is bright and elegant, with attentive service
The pool area and view are lovely. Great service at the pool too with towels already on the loungers and service to your lounger. The pool food menu is very limited however
The Clou restaurant serves delicious food and has a large wine list with roof top dining and lovely ambience. Parking is difficult as it’s a restricted zone but the hotel offer valet parking for €50 per night
It was our best hotel experience in Sicily so far. The hotel is beautifully decorated with Art Deco style. I highly recommend a room with sea view because the sunset from the balcony is super romantic
This hotel is fantastic! The room was so clean, has in room tea facilities and quality toiletries. There’s many towels, slippers and dressing gowns
Fantastic location right on the corner with the port of Ortigia on two sides. Fantastic breakfast, even with some home baked pastries. Breakfast terrace overlooking the port and the sea.
We were really fortunate to find a free parking spot right by the hotel where we just left the car for 3 days. Note that the hotel occupies the upper floors of the building
Very healthy breakfast with lots of chives and fresh pastries. They have a valet service to park your car when you stay. Also a small terrace roof to have breakfast or just sit. I did yoga there in the morning
It is well marked, but you have to find the 2 buzzers next to the big wooden door, and press the bottom button to get buzzed in. We loved it and would stay there again
This hotel has a family atmosphere starting from breakfast on wonderful terrace with a sea port view, very tasty fresh food and personal, that care you very personal
Fantastic place highly recommended. On Ortigia & walkable to all areas, also close to bridge to syracuse so about 12mins to bus station. Comfortable clean rooms with great modern bathroom & silent fridge

gorgeous vintage hotel designed with a great attention to detail overlooking a magnificent view of the sea with friendly staff who are keen on delivering the best customer and traveler experience
Beautiful old hotel with fantastic staff. Wonderful breakfast. Could do with updating and as others have said, the roof terrace drinks are over priced and the beach is fairly basic. Would stay again though.
The hotel itself is beautiful, in a great location, and the staff are excellent. They offer a private beach, but it costs $20 per person for the boat ride there and back
The lunch area was a basic plywood structure, and the food was disappointing. Given how impressive the hotel is, the beach experience felt like a missed opportunity
It would be better if you choose a room facing the sea. The hotel is very close to the ancient city, a five-minute walk. There is a parking lot at the door, which is very convenient
The boat ride was enjoyable, but it seemed unusual for a hotel of this caliber to charge for it. We were expecting a pristine beach and a nice spot for lunch

The outdoor pool area, wellness center, and indoor pool are simply magnificent — a true paradise of relaxation
The hotel is in the middle of the countryside, so arriving at night was interesting but not a problem. The hotel is very nice, the spa is the major draw. It is large, well appointed and has many different therapies
When we were there, the outdoor pool was closed (for the season). The hotel restaurant was also very nice - the breakfast spread was very nice, the lunch and dinner were similarly good. The portion sizes are pretty good
I ended up extending my stay to a full week, enjoying the pool, the gym, and the spa. What can I say — I want to return to Sicily! A special mention goes to the breakfast, where nothing is missing — from sweet to savory
I stayed here for a week in November. Impeccable service from reception till cleaning stuff. Delicious Sicilian food served at the restaurant. Huge portions!Spacious nicely decorated room with garden and Jacuzzi outside
The service can be offered in English and the stuffs are professional and kind. We enjoyed the Sun a lot in the afternoons outside next to the pool
Our room faced the sea, and opening the curtains in the morning to be bathed in the Mediterranean sunlight was breathtaking. We booked a room with breakfast included, and coffee was unlimited
A beautiful hotel, across from the sea. Can walk thru the beautiful streets of Ortigia. Highly recommend.
We had such a lovely stay, great location, beautiful room, and cute balcony watching the sea.
We really enjoyed this property. The buildings are ancient, but completely renovated and clean. Bathrooms are new, beds are comfortable with good linens. Breakfasts are excellent with many choices.
Can't say enough great things about Algila! The staff was so helpful & accommodating, awesome location, nice rooms and large common areas to gather aft
The breakfast was delicious, the staff impeccable and the room delightful. All in all an excellent stay which I would wholeheartedly recommend.
Cleanliness throughout the hotel was top notch (apart from the strange choice of a cream carpet on the landings!) and housekeeping was excellent, even topping up the water level in our lavazza machine! Fresh bed linen and towels daily and whilst the bathroom was rather small it was very well appointed and the marble tiling was simply beautiful
It’s a beautiful hotel and good location. The staff are friendly. I’d like to stay again. Thank you so much for upgrading the room. We could stay very comfortable.
Beautiful hotel in a convenient but quiet area right behind the duomo! The staff was very helpful, especially when I had to ask for advice during a train strike. The room was a nice size and beautifully decorated
What made our stay here the most memorable was the outstanding service. This includes the reception, housekeeping, breakfast and bar. Also, the quality of the room and location are excellent. Will recommend highly!!!
The only thing that bothered us is an automatic light that was turning on at night from the mini bar station in the room on your way to the bathroom. The staff was really helpful and deactivated that light when ask
We even saw the concierge, I believe his name is Andreas, walk a sick guest all the way to the pharmacy to help her. The breakfast was delicious, beds are comfortable, rooms are quiet and the location was also excellent
Helpful owners, room with sea view, quiet and tidy daily with change of sheets and towels. Abundant breakfast with delicious donuts prepared by Mrs Elisa
Close to station and Ortigia -clean and helpful - great staging post.
Strategic location of the hotel a few steps from the bus station, from the station it is very close to the centre. Even though we didn't have a car, we moved around easily, visiting all the attractions
Very close to the bus/train station. It is a short walk to the downtown area. The rooms are decent the air-conditioners work very well. I thought their breakfast was amazing! They do everything they can for you!
Air conditioning, fine bathroom and a pleasant bed. Walking distance to central Syracuse. Minus is the small window and no view, small room and noisy refrigerator
The hotel is located in a strategic position, close to the center which can be easily reached on foot, spotlessly clean rooms and always helpful and smiling staff. The terrace where breakfast takes place is beautiful
An excellent aparthotel, away from everything, yet within easy access to Syracuse and the beach. Owner and staff are just brilliant and very helpful. Bus stop to Syracuse and Ortigia just round the corner
Great apartments, quiet location, nice pool, good breakfast and friendly owners/staff. There is nothing within walking distance so a car needed but plenty of beaches and restaurants within 15-30 minutes drive.
Cleanliness, elegance, excellent hospitality together with a beautiful swimming pool in the magnificent setting of Plemmirio.
Beautiful place clean rooms and garden with swimming pool
An oasis of serenity, Mr. Vincenzo made us feel at home. Functional and clean rooms, beautiful swimming pool, highly recommended.
So if you take a taxi you're going to have to be very imaginative about how to eat for the rest of the day. Even if you drive, you're looking at a significant drive into town to find a normal restaurant or bar
Very nice hotel, dinner was good!
Would be nice if they found a solution to reduce the number of flies at the swimming pool.
The room was clean and roomy and the breakfast had a lot of choices, but what impressed me the most was the service especially when I called the hotel when my rental car broke down two hours away and they arranged for a car to pick me up
Francesco and his staff were incredibly kind and helpful a true gentleman with lots of knowledge of the town. We really made some great friends from this holiday and we will definitely holiday again at Kalaonda
Consiglio vivamente, molto pulito e offre tutti i comfort!
I strongly reccomend this Hotel, it is very clean and it provides all of the services an host requires!
That is service above and beyond
Nice place to relax, the staff was truly helpful and took care. The breakfast was good, and the pool refreshing. We enjoyed our one night stay quite a lot
Plusside; read about the curtains not functioning to hold back daylight; there're now shutters that will do so perfectly
Everything was good.
Location near the bus and railway stations.
To Ortigia Island short walk.
Great little hotel. Good breakfast included in my stay and it was close to several things I needed/wanted to go to. It was clean and the staff was good to me. I will thoroughly recommend it.
A beautiful structure, very welcoming, and a great location—you're practically in the center. The attentive staff is highly recommended! Paola and Mr. Bruno are efficient and caring. A highly recommended hotel.
The location is excellent, about 5 minutes from both the train station and the bus terminal, and about 10 minutes from Ortigia Island. I arrived from Taormina and made a day trip to Noto during my stay
Highly recommended! A truly beautiful place, in a wonderful location, and exceptional value for money. Friendly and attentive staff; extremely flexible check-in and check-out times. We loved it!

If you are looking for a unique place to immerse yourself in nature with a crazy view you have arrived!!! Every room has a sea view A large swimming pool overlooking the cliff A sunset and a sunrise that reconcile you with the world I left my heart there…
Special thanks to the owner, a very kind person who made us completely happy. We will definitely return because here we found what we were looking for: peace, relaxation, a stunning view, nature, sun, sea, and a pool
The teardrop-shaped pool, which is very clean, offers breathtaking views of the sea. The staff is very kind, helpful, and responsive. The rooms are fully equipped with all the amenities
Unexpected location, beautiful, Very quiet residence with everything you need,
The pool, the gardens, the sea view, nothing is missing...
Lovely pool and direct access to the sea. Best regarded as self catering rather than " hotel". The local supermarket sells delicious home made Sicilia food which I'd highly recommend
Magical place! Structure built overhanging the crystalline sea; only flaw, the access to the sea no longer equipped. The swimming pool (even if small) very useful
The hotel is quite difficult to reach by car (Google maps will send you to an alley where it is impossible to turn or maneuver), so it is best to leave the car in the nearby Piazza Federico di Svevia and arrange for a very convenient valet with the hotel
We spent a night at this beautiful hotel and loved it! The hotel is located in a pedestrianized part of the island, just a 2 minute walk from where you can get dropped off by car or taxi
Only detracting factors are that the room was a bit dark (the hotel is in a narrow alley), and that the bathroom on a different floor than the bedroom is a bit inconvenient at night
Beautiful rooms and excellent quality products! An easy walk to the center of Ortigia itself, as well as to the Castello Maniace (which is a must visit in itself)
Beautiful modern hotel and beautiful room on 2 floors (sitting room/bathroom downstairs and bedroom upstairs)
Wonderful helpful staff. Could not have asked for more from our stay. Perfecto
Very close to the market and the bridges from Siracusa. Nice, big rooms with excellent air conditioning. Motorcycles a bit loud from the first floor. No real breakfast available on premises, but numerous options close-by
This property is perfectly placed for sites and restaurants in Ortigia and close to the bridge to the main town of Syracuse.
The manager is helpful and communicative. The apartment was spacious and comfortable.
Wonderful place to stay near all the action. The owner is highly professional and communicates as he should. I highly recommend!
Also, the property is located in an area where cars are not allowed so be prepared to walk with your luggage to the property
Warning for those with cars, the parking is very limited so I strongly recommend making arrangements before arriving
Great location and great accommodation. Very helpful re self check in
