“Little pearl”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 October 2011

If you are travelling by car and you are looking for a small boutique hotel this is definitely one of the best options to visit Siracusa.
The hotel is located just outside the city in a quiet area where we can enjoy a quiet atmosphere and a nice pool. Getting to the city is easy and there are different parkings ("Talete" is free during the day and 2 euro at night while in "via dei mille" there is another one which is a little more central but expensive).
The rooms are new and extremely well furbished. The breakfast is really good for a boutique hotel.The food at the restaurant is nice without being extraordinary, they have very convenient degustation menus.
The best think about the hotel is however the staff that is extremely nice and helpful. They are very attentive to details. Even the dogs of the owner are friendly.
Only little minus I don't think they have a fitness room but i think they are getting organized to have a Spa in the future.

“Stylish escape”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 October 2011

Caol Ishka is very special place. We stayed here for one week during our Sicily trip. People often estimate the place in relation with expectations they have.
So concerning Caol Ishka you will not find here: traditional hotel near the beach, lots of people at the pool and restaurant, simple food.
So what to expect? Very helpful and positive staff, charming landcsape design, minimalistic aesthetics (with a bit of glamour), calm and relaxing atmosphere. Perfect place for romantic escape.

“Very nice stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 October 2011

This small boutique hotel has a good overall service and a friendly atmosphere. The rooms are designed carefully and have charm. location is very valid if you have a car, as it is 5 minutes away from the center but allows you to live the experience of being in the countryside.

Room Tip: the rooms overall are very small. cozy but small. recommend to stay in the junior suite or suite as...

“dissapointment”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 September 2011

We booked this hotel on the net. We knew it to be modern, quirky and unusual. We found the room designed to please the interior designer but with little thought to the occupants comfort. The pool was ok and the location fine. The food was a dissappointment when it was made out to be something special. I never leave anything on my plate but here I did. I cannot recommend the food at all/. Breakfast was adequate but unexciting for the price.
