Joseph, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We loved the Villa Politi, a grand hotel with a very interesting history. The guest areas are spacious and the pool beautiful. The only concern we had, the dinner service was a little slow due to large tour groups dining, the staff were under pressure. We would have also appreciated tea/coffee making facilities in our room. We would definitely stay there again.

Excellent hotel and staff!

Beautiful hotel and wonderful service, we had a fantastic stay in Siracusa! The breakfast was amazing, the rooms were comfortable and spacious, and we had a perfect view of Ortigia and the sea from our balcony. Incredible pool, free parking on site, beautiful grounds and convenient to get into Ortigia — what more can you ask for?

Only Okay.

The hotel shows significant wear. Staff members were friendly and helpful. Bedding was ok, but the pillows were flat and hard.
Gregory, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

This hotel was lovely we were delighted with our room 102 fabulous with 2 balconies, staff were extremely friendly and helpful, was a real treat. Only downside is its a good 20min walk to old town and 20 Euros taxi back at night. We felt the hotel was worth the walk as pool area was great

Elegant 19th century hotel

An old elegant hotel with great service and a modern pool complex. Breakfast was heavy on pastries and sweets, not my taste but some prefer that. Location is too far to walk to the old city but makes up for that with a nice pool. A nice addition in the heat of July. I would stay again. Free and easy parking as well if you have a car.
Richard, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely clean sheets, I really rate the cleanliness of this hotel as I have a dust allergy. A multitude of gluten free options for breakfast, nice staff. I extended my stay by an extra 2 nights. It's a bit of a walk into Ortigia but good to get your steps in with so much fantastic food on offer!
Joanna, 2-night trip

Overnight following a cruise

Loved the grandeur of this hotel, particularly the public rooms. The air conditioning in our bedroom didn't seem to do a lot unfortunately, but the room was clean and the buffet breakfast had a good choice of food and drinks. The pool wasn't available when we stayed as they were having building work done in readiness for high season, but it looked like it will be a lovely area when complete. We would stay there again!
