OrtigiaSeaView Bed & Breakfast

B&B im 4. Stock eines etwas herunter gekommenen Hauses zu hohem Preis, den es insgesamt nicht wert war. Wir hatten ein "DeLuxe-Zimmer" gebucht und wunderten uns über spärliche Möblierung (kein Tisch, nur ein Stuhl, auf dem Balkon gar nichts), veraltetes Bad (in dem es über Fenster und Siphon teils recht unangenehme Gerüche gab, auf dem Badezimmerboden waren zudem einige lange schwarze Haare verteilt.), nur gel. funktionierendes WLAN, kein warmes Wasser am Anreisetag (die sonstigen Gäste hatten es schon weg geduscht). Letztendlich stelllte sich heraus, dass es eine Verwechslung und ein "Normalzimmer" war, uns wurde bei der Abreise ein geringer Abschlag offeriert. Weiteren Argumentationen hinsichtlich des Preises zeigte sich die Besitzerin unzugänglich. Frühstück war ok (wenn auch die herzhaften Bestandteile unter repäsentiert waren), aber wurde mit schöner Sicht auf die Bucht serviert. Der Aufzug mutet gefährlich an (Knopf wirkich erst drücken, wenn alle drin sind!). Die Aussicht war wirklich schön und gut gelegen zur Altstadt. Direkt unterhalb des Hauses findet täglich ein Markt statt (schön, aber auch geräuschvoll schon am frühen Morgen).

Das Haus liegt direkt neben dem Fischmarkt, was an sich ganz nett ist. Die "Sea View" ist zwar vorhanden, wird aber getrübt durch das Parkhaus "Talete", auf das man direkt vom Balkon guckt. Apropos Balkon, dieser fällt fast auseinander, das Holz bröckelt vor sich hin. Das Schlimmste ist aber der muffige Gestank, der vom Badezimmer die ganze Wohnung einnimmt, so dass die Kleidung nach kurzer Zeit danach zu stinken scheint. Es war wirklich so abartig dass wir nach einem Tag wieder ausgezogen, obwohl wir noch eine weitere Nacht gebucht und bezahlt hatten. Das Preisleistungsverhältnis stimmt hier überhaupt nicht in Anbetracht der Mängel des Hauses. 160€ für zwei Nächte in so einer Spelunke ist eine Frechheit.

Nice b&b, great location in Ortygia next to wonderful street matket. That market is also little problem if you want to sleep longer than 6am... It is quite noisy! Ida, the owner, is warm and friendly. Good breakfast, almost all is homemade. Parking is easy, the Parcheggio Talete is next to b&b and costs 10 euros/24 hours. I highly recommend Ortygia seaview!

Syntes det var et dejligt sted. Dog oplever jeg at beskrivelsen er skudt lidt over mål. Der fandtes ikke mini bar, privat parkering, eller spise område. Men alt i alt godt sted.

We stayed in the Bed & Breakfast for 2 nights and absolutely loved it! First off- the room was a lot bigger than we expectes and has a truly spectacular view. It is towards sunrise so you are promised an amazing start of the day for the early birds. Breakfast is at the main apartment - everything is home made, fresh and delicious. I recommend this place to everyone visiting Ortigia.

It is situated next to the market, with cheese stall, fruit & veg & fish restaurants & a very friendly coffee shop next door. On arrival we felt that the host was abrupt, however the rooms were spacious with sea views. The description on the website said there would be tea making facilities, room service & free bottled water. But there were no facilities in our room or room service, no bottled water & the local tap water is salty. When we arrived we found a kettle with tea & coffee making facility in the hallway, but this was taken away on the second day of arrival, & were never seen again. The breakfast cost €7pp per-day; they had a good selection of fruit, breads, meats, cheese, cakes which changed daily. There’s a couple of small beaches nearby, we liked the beach next to a park & sun lounger bar, walking distance. We met a lovely danish couple where we stayed & noticed how warm & inviting the host was with them, but that warmth was not transferred to us. The host was very good in helping us book a taxi & ensuring that we go & visit certain areas. We found the Ortigia film festival was held that weekend & we appreciate the suggestions. We took the hop-on-off bus located just outside the car park & visited the Archaeological Park Neapolis which has great views, the most impressive part was the Ear of Dionysius. We would visit Syracuse again, but I would probably look for an apartment in the same area as it was safe & friendly. This B&B is good if you are looking to dine out

We had a good stay ant Ida the Host was so friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious and abundant. View from our room was beautiful; looking over the sea and Syracusa. Parking is a bit problem but if you wait few minutes you'll find for sure. Would recommend this to everybody.

We had a large, quiet bedroom and bathroom with a shared balcony overlooking the marketplace and the the ocean. Self Parking was not an issue. Since our room was the furthest away, we were disappointed that we did not have wi-fi in our room but the owner allowed us to use her apartment when needed and assured us that this would be resolved over the winter. She was also very pleasant and gave us good tips on what to see and do in Siracusa, in the surrounding area and for our subsequent travels.

This is not a hotel. It is a B&B situated on the 4th floor of a block of flats. Viewed from outside it looks like a tenement block and we searched the area, not believing this could be the "hotel" that looked so nice on-line. The entrance hall is dirty and smelly and we dared not use the tiny lift but walked up 12 flights of dirty stairwells to the 4th floor. Rooms are spread out in tiny passages with many doors which one must lock and open with a key and lots of steps: very awkward. Room was clean with a nice view, bathroom basic, shower tiny. B&B had no amenities or service. Good location for walking around the island. All in all, not a nice place to stay and a rip off for the quality.

Easy to find after faxed map from Ida, our congenial host. Convenient nearby parking. Wonderful sea and harbour view from room. Excellent breakfast with home-made jams & cakes.
