“Welcomed as friends”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2012

We had a most wonderful stay at Aretusa Vacanze. Looking for an alternative to our rumourous hotel, we found this place by walking through the old town and felt immediately at home. A spacious appartment in a narry old house, furnished and equipped with a love for practical and aesthetical details, a delicious breakfast on the rooftop with a marvellous view were an excellent basis to start from.
What was however more important was the extremely friendly welcome and help of the staff. We got touristic information that were very valuable to us, sites that are not (yet) mentioned in the travel guides, restaurants that are visited also by the locals, addresses for typical items to buy etc. And, when we had trouble with our car, we got immediately help and suppor. After this stay, it was difficult to get back to everyday life, therefore this review comes a little late - but hopfefully in time for your next Sicily trip. Karin+Martin

“Warm welcome”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 December 2011

Stayed two nights in this lovely small B&B. It is situated in the center of Siracuse. Staff was great, very helpful and spoke english great. Room was nice and cozy with small kitchen, table and laptop you can use. Nice brakfast in the roof terrace. Only bad thing was the noise coming from the restaurant next to hotel and very thin walls and doors.

“Wonderful traditional Sicilian hospitality”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 November 2011

Excellent central location in Ortigia with wonderful traditional Sicilian hospitality. The family owners made us feel so welcome and wanted. Within walking distance of the main tourist attractions. Lovely comfortable room and wonderful breakfasts on the rooftop terrace.

“Fabulous”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 November 2011

We enjoyed everything about this quirky b & b, which is situated in a lovely quiet position but right in the centre of Ortigia and within easy walking distance of a good car park. Very comfortable bed, good bathroom, excellent breakfast on the roof terrace, and very genuine, friendly and helpful staff. We are already trying to plan a return trip to this beautiful city, and we will definitely return to Aretusa Vacanze. Excellent value for money too!
