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!

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!
