Charme Hotel Villa Principe di Fitalia

Staff very friendly and attentive. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Ideal Hotel if you wish to spend your days relaxing in peace and quiet by the pool. Not much else to do in that area. Evening meals and lunch are available - but choice is limited. Hotel provide a complimentary taxi service to and from the main town which is half hours drive away. The local beach is a ten minute car drive and not 800 metres as stated.

Found the staff extremely helpful, friendly and very polite. Nothing was too much trouble. Were only there for 3 nights but found food good, as was the special evenings laid on. Would certainly return.

The Hotel is a great place to relax. The staff are extremely helpful and couldn't do enough for us. The poolside restaurant is a terrific location for both breakfast and dinner. The fact that it is a little out of the town wasn't a problem as the shuttle bus meant that both Ortigia and the beach were only a few minutes away.

Whilst the hotel is approximately 5 km outside Ortigia, it only takes 10 minutes by car to get to the centre. However the surroundings, gardens and pool area are beautiful, which can be a welcome relief after the hustle and bustle of town. A shuttle bus runs 4 times a day. The hotel itself is very pretty, but the area in which it excells is in terms of the hugely obliging and helpful staff. I have seldom experienced this level of customer care outside the Far East and for this reason, I would have no hesitation to recommend this hotel. We took our trip in late May 2011 and the weather was fabulous. The hotel only has 22 rooms, so a perfect size and the food is also outstanding. Book now!

Staff very friendly, food good and the only drawback was the size of the standard room. Very small. Very quiet location which we loved.
