Caol Ishka Hotel

The hotel is conveniently located very close to Syracuse but in a country setting with plenty of parking. The hotel staff were very nice and helpful and gave good recommendations on the area. The hotel needs some improved maintenance especially in the bathrooms.

Bello il posto. Personale cortese e professionale. La colazione è superlativa e poi anche la piscina, la tranquillità del posto e le attività sportive con bike sharing e canoe... cos’altro? Bravi

silenzioso e curato. posizione ottima per Siracusa. bellissima ristrutturazione, letto comodo, bagno spazioso. personale affabile ed efficiente. mancanze: in camera (soppalcata) non c'è uno specchio e non ci sono luci all'ingresso (solo al piano superiore ed in bagno). non c'è la finestra ma solo una grande porta a vetri di accesso. la musica a colazione è un po' alta e molto "discoteca". rimane comunque consigliatissimo

Had a lovely time, beautiful setting and very comfortable rooms. Our bed was on the mezzanine up a narrow staircase so not good for those with mobility issues, but we enjoyed it. Had a lovely day by the pool and sitting on our private patio. the hotel is a lovely calm oasis and is really nicely decorated and laid out. Only negative is don't go without a car as it is a bit far from town and you can't walk along the road as it's really busy and has no pavement. Taxis were also pretty expensive - 20 Euros to go into Syracuse, so 40 for a day out.

Ottimo soggiorno, bella location, personale gentilissimo!!

Ci siamo trovati molto bene, personale efficiente ed ottima posizione per le escursioni.

Very friendly and polyglot staff, nice atmosphere, good location, good restaurant, really nice breakfast with local products. Could improve a few things for the price they are charging: airco in the rooms not really powerful and stopping at times. Kitchen often run out of drinks and fruits etc. - had to wait until next day to get replenished. Very weak/wifi impossible to use most of the time.

I don't normally write reviews but after our stay at Caol Ishka felt compelled to do so. In the first two days of our stay I took ill and ended up in hospital. The manager Giancarlo, his family and staff really looked after my wife Jill and even sent me food parcels. When I left the hospital and returned to the hotel I was greeted by every member of staff asking how I was. I don't think I've ever known such warmth and hospitality as we received at Caol Ishka. Not only that the food is excellent and as good as any of the great restaurants Giancarlo booked us into.

We had with my pregnant wife a small journey in sicilia and stayed one night to Caol ishka hotel. It was perfect! Only 10 rooms with a maximum of initimity. The two mens we met are really cool and all was made to make your stay the greatest possible. Nice swimming pool and good restaurant. Cocktail on the swimming pool after checkout, free canoë with a river on the park.....we ´ll probably come back later! Richard.

What a beautiful quiet oasis awaits you in off the main road only 5 mins by from car from Syracuse. Ticks all the boxes for peaceful relaxation, wonderful staff, great service, fabulous food and excellent amenities with free mountain bikes, swimming pool & loungers, canoes on the adjacent river and private screened decking area off the bedroom. Eat twice at lunchtime and food was simply fabulous. Breakfasts are plentiful with lots of selection. Others have warned of mosquitoes - yes quite plentiful on the river if you take out the canoe! The quirky fit out of our bedroom was nice. However the loft bed up over the bathroom with access via a metal stairs could prove difficult if elderly or any way hard of walking as it is very steep and could prove awkward. Someone could get quite a surprise to arrive to it! Best to enquire on booking room layout. Great quiet roads to cycle around for miles in lovely Sicilian countryside from around the back of the hotel away from Syracuse. Would we go back? Most definitely!
