We loved the Palazzo del Sale, especially the lovely and helpful Luisa. She absolutely went out of her way for us and was very kind. Thanks Luisa! The rooms are very modern and classy, with a subdued colour palate and lots of natural slate. The location is near the tip of Ortigia, about a block from the Fonte Arethusa and... More

I visited this hotel with my boyfriend last year and absolutely loved it. The hotel is so unusal and the bedroom we stayed in was so fabulously decorated. The atmosphere is very informal and it is a quiet hotel given that there are only 6 rooms. The breakfast buffet was delicious; lovely meats, cheeses and breads. The staff are very... More

We just returned from our holiday in Sicily, staying 4 nights at Palazzo del Sale. Even before our arrival, the staff were very helpful in answering any question or request promptly and efficiently. Luisa and her colleagues, including Giovanni - excel at customer service and made us feel special while taking care of any request or minor problem. Our room... More

Ortigia is a charming city, and Palazzo del Sale is a very stylish and attractive B&B with very personable services. The restoration of this former merchant’s home was clearly done both with an eye towards preserving traditional details but also with contemporary aesthetics, as evidenced by the stylishly clean lines, soothing white or cream color scheme overall with judiciously exposed...

Siracusa is a must stop if you're visiting Sicily. This is a comfortable place to stay, and this may have been the best bed we had to sleep in during our whole trip. Great, modern showers with plenty of hot water. They serve a large breakfast. They gave us good recommendations for dinner. The cathedral and several lovely squares are... More

Palazzo del Sale is the place to stay in Siracusa-area. It is in Ortigia, the old city, a few steps away all restaurants and il Duomo. I wouldn't stay anywhere else than in this hotel! I booked a room with terrazza. Actually it was huge - a hall + a lovely large bedroom with small terrace + a large bathroom... More

Is there a better option in Ortygia? One of our favourite accommodations on our trip around Sicily. In hot Syracuse, we never thought we'd have use for the roof terrace, but even that is laid out in a way that made it shady and great (so ask for the spacious top floor room with a terrace). Friendly and welcoming Giovanni... More

Our stay at Palazzo del Sale was one of the highlights of our wonderful adventure in Sicily. Giovanni and his staff were extremely gracious and helpful. Giovanni's restaurant recommendations were spot on! We loved our room clean, tastefully decorated room which was a welcome oasis after long days of exploring the beautiful Ortigia. More

A lovely boutique hotel with uncommonly gracious staff. Giovanni is nothing short of a perfect host, and the other staff were attentive and prompt to a fault. The hotel itself is well appointed, well designed, and extremely comfortable -- a delicious Ortigia treat for all of us. Strongly recommended!! More
