Guest Reviews
- Petr (10/5): -
- Pietro (10/5): -
- Stefan (10/5): Sehr schöner und unvergesslicher Aufenthalt. - Die Lage der Wohnung ist sehr zentral und im alten Stadtkern gelegen. Parkmöglichkeiten sind in der Nähe verfügbar und zu Fuss schnell erreichbar.
Das Frühstück ist reichhaltig im Dachgeschoss zu finden. Bei schönem Wetter kann man sogar auf der Dachterrasse sitzen und essen.
Die ganze Wohnung ist liebevoll eingerichtet und man fühlt sich sehr willkommen. Wir hoffen, dass wir eines Tages zurückkehren dürfen.
- Martina (9/5): - Camera grande, letto comodo e posizione tranquilla. Ottima la possibilità di poter accedere alla cucina e al cibo presente in sala colazione in qualsiasi momento. Presenti anche opzioni senza glutine. Se dovessi tornare a Sortino prenoterei da Ficodindia rooms subito
- Martin (10/5): - Sehr schöne und sehr saubere Unterkunft. Spitze ist die Lage neben dem Valle dell'Anapo.
- Jörg (9/5): The accommodation was great for our trip to Sortino and Pantalica . - Chiara was a great host. She provided lots of useful information and instructions for the room and the city. She responded quickly to all our texts. The provides snacks in the kitchen were great.
- Jan (10/5): -
- Walter (9/5): -
- Ivana (10/5): - Everything was perfect. Accomodation was clean and very comfortable. Breakfast and the option to take the food everytime we need was perfect. And the owner is very helpful, she helped us with the bus connection. We had a little bit problem with the blank space between the bathroom wall and the bedroom because of humidity and no privacy in the bathroom.
- Josef Kpl. (10/5): -
- Graziano (10/5): -
- Bertram (7/5): Weiß und Leistung stimmen für einen kurzen Aufenthalt - Ich habe die Vermieterin zwar nie gesehen, aber sie hat alles bestens organisiert und sie hat auf jede Frage sofort geantwortet.
- Anja (9/5): -
- Marco (9/5): -
- Vibeke (9/5): -
- Mickael (10/5): Un séjour au top et agréable - Le p’tit déjeuner de qualité La salle de bain qui était en dehors de la chambre
- Patricia (7/5): Alojamiento acogedor - Chiara es una anfitriona muy buena y muy atenta, con todo preparado al detalle. Deja en la cocina común a disposición de los huéspedes postres caseros (en nuestro caso un tiramisú riquísimo) y algo de bebida y huevos de su granja (muy buenos, por cierto).
También dispone de una terraza muy acogedora en la azotea donde poder desayunar tranquilamente.
Para cenar, Chiara nos recomendó unos restaurantes donde cenamos unas pizzas riquísimas y a muy buen precio. La ubicación no es del todo excelente, ya que no se puede acceder fácilmente con el coche. Sin embargo, Chiara nos recomendó un parking gratuito a 5 minutos.
Por otro lado, el baño, al estar separado de la habitación, es algo incómodo.
En la habitación había dos puertas, y por una de ellas entraba mucha luz, algo incómodo también.
El edificio está muy completo, aunque necesitaría algo de reforma, ya que se ve algo antiguo en ciertos aspecto.
- Sandy (10/5): -
- gabriella (9/5): - Pulizia, camera stile, accoglienza. Scale e posizione.
- ClaRa (9/5): Took us a minute to find, but we had a lovely stay. -
- Heike (8/5): - Die Kuchen waren sehr lecker und die Aussicht von der Terrasse war sehr schön. Das Frühstückszimmer war sehr gut ausgestattet und sehr nett gestaltet. Der Geruch im Bad von der Kanalisation.
- Omar (10/5): Perfetto - Pulizia, disponibilità della proprietaria , qualità nella colazione
- Marco (9/5): Consigliato. - Esperienza decisamente positiva, pulizia accoglienza e cura dei dettagli veramente alta. Un connubio perfetto tra tradizionalità e innovazione.
- Fotsch (10/5): - Schöne Unterkunft in zentraler Lage und freundliche Gastgeberin. Das Frühstück war nicht wie auf den Fotos angepriesen.
- Sümri (10/5): - Das Zimmer ist schön und sehr liebevoll eingerichtet.
- Anlu95 (7/5): - Stanza molto ampia e accogliente. Prodotti bagno biologici. Situata in pieno centro. Letto molto comodo. Cattivi odori provenienti dalle tubature del bagno. Per la colazione presenti prodotti sia salati che dolci, ma tutti confezionati (da discount).
- Kikka80 (10/5): ottima camera e ottimo soggiorno - camera come da descrizione, molto bella e ampia luminosa. Arredi di vero gusto. Grazie a Chiara per gli utili consigli dati sia sul paese sia su Pantalica. Ci siamo trovati benissimo. Sicuramente ritorneremo, ah dimenticavo ottima scelta e varietà per la colazione con prodotti monoporzioni e attenzione a chi ha intolleranze alimentari, senza lattosio, senza glutine. niente
- Levon (6/5): Nice hotel but disrespectful and unreliable staff - Great location, cute touches to the hotel, nice breakfast. Booked a room with two beds (at least) but got a room with one bed only - the staff was very reluctant to fix it and also disrespectful.
So, inadequately expensive given such experience. The light is also too bright and white, needs warming down.
- Gary (9/5): - Our room was clean, well appointed, and had a cosy Home feel. The facility appears well maintained and cared about. Great common kitchen area. Our host was extremely informative and responsive. Finding Parking was a bit difficult, but there is public parking five or six minutes away which we used
- Mario (10/5): Very happy with your services and easy communication - Wonderful stay. We vacation all over the world. This was fantastic
Thank you Room, location, patio
- arosem (8/5): Quiet and relaxing the atmosphere - The room was great, and it had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The bed was cozy, the air conditioning worked perfectly, and the small touches made it feel very welcoming. We especially appreciated how quiet and relaxing the atmosphere was. The breakfast had a great selection. N/A
- nicmarando (9/5): -
- Paolo (10/5): - Colazione ottima e posizione centrale
- Gaetano (10/5): - Sono rimasto molto soddisfatto e la consiglio. Proprietaria gentilissima, colazione meravigliosa, la stanza accogliente e mi è piaciuta molto l' accortezza per i prodotti ( saponi e spazzolino) ecologici.
- Santi (10/5): - Location bellissima, personale e proprietaria gentilissimi
- Giuseppe Giancarlo (7/5): Soggiorno ok ma il paese offre pochissimo, solo punto di appoggio - Belle camere e possibilità di usufruire della terrazza è piccola cucina
- Heike (10/5): - Super Frische Bioeier und hausgemachtes leckeres Tiramisu zum Frühstücksbufett
- iolanda (8/5): - La.colazione
- Patriciadekker (10/5): Fantastische kamer (groot!) In hartje Sortino - De grootte van de kamer, de rustige locatie, de gemeenschappelijke keuken, de verse eitjes in de koelkast en het dakterras, de faciliteiten op de kamer, de badkamer, de communicatie met de eigenaar. Alles was top! Als ik één ding moet noemen zou het fijn zijn als de badkamermuur tot het plafond reikte voor meer privacy ;)
- Luca (10/5): - Tutto perfetto
- AlexaaaB (10/5): - Absolutely pristine and gorgeous. The rooms even come with a tiny homemade soap and a bamboo toothbrush! The upstairs dining room, kitchen and terrace are just stunningly adorable, and I was able to cook dinner with ingredients I picked up at the grocery and produce stores. Unfortunately the checkout is 10am, but I asked for 11am with no problem, so you can too! HOSTS OF THE WORLD: PLEASE ABOLISH THE 10AM CHECKOUT! 😋 Would also be amazing if you had decaf coffee available. 😁
- John (9/5): - Soggiorno fantastico a Ficodindia Rooms!
Ho soggiornato qui dal 15 al 17 agosto e non potrei essere più soddisfatto. La struttura è esattamente come descritta su Booking.com: le camere sono accoglienti, pulite e l'atmosfera è davvero rilassante.
Un ringraziamento speciale a Chiara, la proprietaria, che è stata incredibilmente disponibile e gentile. Era sempre raggiungibile via WhatsApp e pronta a darci consigli o aiutarci per qualsiasi cosa.
La cucina è un vero punto di forza. È sempre ben fornita con uova fresche e cibo per la colazione, ma in realtà è disponibile per quasi tutto il giorno, il che è comodissimo. Non posso non menzionare il tiramisù fatto in casa, che è semplicemente delizioso!
Se dovessimo tornare a Sortino, soggiorneremo sicuramente di nuovo qui. Consigliatissimo! Niente
- Giovanna (9/5): Una sorpresa - È un b&b completamente ristrutturato, molto curato e particolare. All’interno trovate un kit composto da campioncini di sapone naturale siciliano e degli spazzolini in bambù. La colazione è libera e con molta scelta. Posizione comoda in pieno centro
- Annamaria (9/5): -
- Massimo (9/5): Best available in Sortino - Very clean a tidy and excellent location near the centre of Sortino. Also a lovely kitchen with fresh supplies available including fresh farm eggs and bacon Only negative would be if you have lots of heavy bags to carry up a couple flights of stairs to the room but other than that it’s was great
- Nikki (9/5): Superb -
- Jonas (10/5): Exceptional -
- Natalija (10/5): Exceptional - Cozy and clean apartments in the center of Sortino. Everything was spotless, and the beds were very comfortable. The shared kitchen always had light snacks, desserts, and everything needed to make coffee or tea. Breakfast was self-service style but plentiful and tasty. We really enjoyed our stay!
- Adam (10/5): Exceptional - Quiet room, comfortable mattress, prompt communication, big kitchen with LOTS of free food, terrace.
- Jan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Almasi (10/5): Exceptional - We spent one night at Ficodondia, and found the town of Sortino because of this B&B... Wanted to stay and experience real Sicily outside the large tourist area of Siracusa.
Chiara the host/owner has put a lot of heart, work and great taste turning the place into a little hospitable gem inside a small Sicilian town. She promptly provided practical suggestions for parking within short walking distance from the house. The house is very neat, common kitchen well stocked with goodies, good food available for guests anytime. Including fresh tiramisu and red wine cake!
We liked the place and the host very much, and do recommend others to choose it.
- Lynn (10/5): Lovely place to stay inland from Siracusa near Pantalica - This is a super place to stay. Fantastic breakfast, with organic eggs from the owner Chiara's farm, yogurt, fruit, muesli and lots more. Chiara leaves a fridge in the breakfast room packed with home-made goodies - tiramisù, cannoli siciliani, torta di cioccolata....in fact, a new cake appeared every day we were staying there. Next to the breakfast room there's a little terrace which is a pleasant place to sit. There are two bikes available for hire (a mountain bike and an electric bike). Our room was furnished in a simple retro/chic/eco style. The location is right in the centre of town, 2 minutes walk from a bakery and small greengrocer where we bought bread and fruit etc for lunch. Everything about the accommodation is lovely.
In terms of the wider area in general, it's useful to know that in order to cycle along the cycle path / former railway line in Pantalica, it's necessary to request an authorisation permit a week in advance from the Pantalica Natural Reserve authorities. There is no information about how to do this on the Natural Reserve website; we tried but failed, despite the help of a kind local resident. It would be nice if the Natural Reserve would make the system more transparent and less bureaucratic.
- Volker (8/5): Very clean and comfortable but not a classical B&B - Very nice house. Comfortable room. Super clean. Could eat from the floor. :-)
Easy checkin. Quiet at night.. The breakfast had no fresh products (except raw eggs).
- Zuzana (9/5): Superb -
- Wouter (10/5): A taste of local Sicilian lifestyle - The contact with Chiara was very smooth and pleasant. I was able to check in by myself and found a parking spot nearby. The place itself has a homely feel to it, it is well cared for and beautifully decorated. Mind the details! I only spent one night as I was passing through but can very easily imagine staying there for the longer term. I had a very quiet night sleep, which I hold quite dear. I was the only guest though, lucky me.
The town is an absolute gem.
Go to the Pizzoleria! I didn't try the local speciality (pizzolo) because I had my heart set on a pizza. It was one of the best pizza's I ever had, no kidding.
- Christopher (9/5): A wonderful place to stay with nice kitchen area (lots of good food) and great terrace - A very nice place to stay ,with a big kitchen area with lots of great food ,and a wonderful terrace. Good location and parking only a 5 min.walk away. Via whatsapp the owner was very friendly. It was hard to get the kitchen area warm in the winter. Also some bigger pots / pans for cooking would be great.
- John (10/5): Exceptional -
- Igor (9/5): Superb - Very well stocked kitchen (pots, pans, cooking oils...), including lots of food (pastries, cookies...), proper coffee machine. Very good communication with owner.
- Hamid (10/5): Exceptional - The property was designed by an architect, and the organic products in the kitchen were the best I’ve ever had. Believe me, the taste of the products was completely different. On top of that, the owner was so kind, providing me with all the information I asked about the island and the local experience. At the end, she even gave me a tour of her farm, where all of those organic products come from.
- Carmel (10/5): Worthwhile and exactly what we needed - Ciara was amazing! Location outstanding and room was perfect
- Richard (2/5): Very poor - Only the room wa clean Too simple; breakfast compared to others too easyd
- Flavie (10/5): Lovely Place - relaxing stay and quick welcome even though I arrived earlier than expected. very clean room, breakfast available at all hours of the day, self-service, excellent with fresh and packaged products Everything ok
- Minna (5/5): terrbile parking, no one one site, except briefly when we first arrive - the room was big; self serve breakfast was decent The website said that though they did not have parking, there is parking nearby. That was true. But it DID NOT say that you could not drive up to the door to unload our baggage. it was ona tiny little street. WE had to temporarioy park in fron tof the church dwon the street, and then then later we moved the car to the free parking lot several streets away. Also we never met the owner, and some young man whocould not speak any english, basically gave us our keys, and then we were on our own for 2 days over the weekend. if we had had nay other problems, we would have had no one to turn to or to call. It worked out, but was very frustrating.
- Lena (10/5): Comfortable with share terase - Calm place, great breakfast with homemade tiramisu, shared kitchen & lounge in highest floor with great terase. Bathroom was possible aired by window. Eco touch. My room has only hight window (Cave style).
- Alexandra (9/5): We enjoyed staying in this artistically decorated room! - The room was very cute, large, and clean. There was a good kitchen area upstairs for breakfast. It was a little difficult to park nearby, and the roads were very narrow.
- Igor (10/5): Exceptional - Great place, very nice interior design, great kitchen and balcony. I really enjoyed my stay there:)
- Vanessa (9/5): Superb -
- Jill (10/5): wonderful! - nice central location. lots of options for breakfast Can not think of anything!
