We loved our stay! The staff and owner were so helpful and welcoming. Breakfast was delicious and our room was clean and comfortable. It was in a great area of the city and we could walk to everything we wanted to see. We had a sea facing room and it was nice to sit out on the balcony in the evening. We would stay again!

Great service !!!!
When they say ‘people’ make the difference this hotel is a perfect example! Extra friendly team made our stay in Ortigia great. Receptionists and breakfast buffet team were excellent! Rooms were very clean too! Only downside: the bar next to the hotel is lively until late, other than that, all super! Grazie mille ragazze

Delightful Palazzo in the heart of Ortigia
In Syracusa - - Ortigia, a lovely small hotel with a warm friendly staff, so helpful, that makes a fun place even better. Right in the midst of the main backstreet - walking corridor, you can exit the Pallazo and go to the Duomo, Arethusa's oasis, and the Diana fountain... All within steps. Delightful visit in every way.

My boyfriend and I had the most wonderful 3-night stay at Palazzo Gilistro in June. The staff were so friendly and helpful, the room was fab and house keeping did such a beautiful job every day. Breakfast was delicious. Palazzo Gilistro is in the perfect central location, just a few minutes walk from the Cathedral of Syracuse with an abudance of restaurants, shops and bars all in walking distance. Despite it being in the centre of town, our room was up high above the hustle and bustle and was lovely and quiet for bed time! If we had one suggestion, It would be to make better use of the great communal roof terrace - a bar up there would be perfect! We will definitely recommend Palazzo Gilistro to our friends and family and would love to return one day!

Our favorite hotel of our entire trip throughout Sicily. Great location, wonderful room, very nice breakfast and the most friendly and helpful front desk team. They went above and beyond in making us feel welcome and making suggestions for places to visit and things to do during our stay. WiFi and air conditioning were really good as well. I would highly recommend this hotel.

The staff was extremely helpful in getting us and our luggage from and to our car. She gave us a printed map with suggestions for the key spots. The location is smack in the middle of the center of Ortigia. Excellent breakfast with the a wide range of options and high quality food.

A great location in the centre of Ortigia. We had a suite of rooms with balconies looking out onto the streets below. Breakfast was great, a good selection of cold meats, cheese, fruits, patries, yoghurts etc. We spent three nights here in early November and couldn't fault it.
