Excellent location in centre of Ortigia surrounded by beautiful architecture. Wide range of restaurants just outside and right next to Duomo Piazza. Despite this, no noise disturbance. Very well appointed and spotlessly clean room. The B&B staff were fantastic - so friendly and helpful and accommodating. Excellent breakfast. Would definitely recommend and stay here again.

Lovely B&B in the heart of Ortigia. Our room was spacious and the bed comfortable. Breakfast was simple but fresh and plentiful. It was also quiet even if facing the street with restaurants and stores. The owner and other ladies working and running the place were very nice and helpful. I would not hesitate to go back to this B&B if returning to Ortigia.

Beautiful Ortigia is busy, bustling and offers an abundance of interesting, enjoyable diversions. What a joy to begin and end each day at Maeco B&B! Tucked in an historic palazzo, Maeco is calm, cozy and welcoming. Rooms are spacious and beautifully designed and provide conveniences such as bedside electrical outlets for charging our many devices. The owner and her marvelous staff provide concierge-level assistance and helped us find memorable meals and terrific tours. Maeco is an easy walk from the Siracusa train station and is easy to find in the old city. The Duomo, castle, marina, beaches and epic daily market are no more than 15 minutes by foot. The breakfast buffet is substantial and we enjoyed meeting other guests and comparing travel notes each morning. Truly, our stay at Maeco could not have been better.

The Maeco B and B is right at the centre of Ortigia and convenient for easy walking to restaurants, shops and all the beautiful sites that the island has to offer. We were welcomed by Alisia who was very helpful and gave us a guide to all the places to see. The next day wee met Martina the owner who was also very welcoming. The Maeco is very tastefully furnished blending traditional fitting's blended with modern things like plexiglass chairs. Our room was very spacious with a well appointed bathroom. Breakfast is a mix of pastries, cold meats cheese, bread fruit, yoghurt etc and eggs can be cooked to order. The staff are very friendly and obliging. I would thoroughly recommend the Maeco for its first class facilities and hospitality.

Excellent location in Ortigia, inside a palazzo, with a peekabo view of the Med. Beautifully appointed rooms, comfortable beds, soft, warm linens, amply sized bathroom with rain shower and excellent water pressure. Our room faced a quiet alleyway, so despite being at the center of everything on a weekend, our room was blissfully quiet. Breakfast is lovely with homemade pastries and juices. Parking is very difficult, but Martina and staff helped us arrange. A note that Ortigia itself is not a very accessible destination, we parked as close as was possible and still carried our bags across a town square and down a couple streets. There is no elevator, and entrance to the palazzo requires lifting bags over a door lip.

I had a wonderful stay at Maecò Ortigia B&B. My room was really nice, confotrable and quiet. The breakfast was terrific. Also the two women who manned the front desk were very helpful. They gave me terrrific restaurant recommendations. They also set up a boat ride around the island and a taxi to the bus to the airport in Catania. The B&B is in a great location. It is on one of the main streets with lots of restaurants and stores. It is also very close to the Duomo and the Piazza Archimede.

Fantastic location in the heart of old town Ortigia. Large room and bathroom with beautiful decor. Excellent breakfast with good selection of fresh, quality products. Martina was very calm & helpful when we got lost trying to drop our car so it could be parked. It all worked out in the end!
