Location was perfect. Steps away from the most popular attractions. Stefano and his family did a great job of making us welcome and comfortable. Each day Stefano suggested local restaurants and booked reservations for us. All were excellent. The rooftop breakfast was a treat. Be sure to request the fresh squeezed blood orange juice. Relaxing with a beautiful view of the bay.

Stefano and family were very welcoming and helpful, genuinely wanting their guests to enjoy Sicilian hospitality. The room was very clean, beautifully decorated, spacious and in excellent location in Ortigia. Breakfast was delicious, especially the wide array of jams.

Aretusa Vacanze was excellent and all the staff were so friendly. The breakfasts were very good and they were enhanced by the excellent selection of homemade jams. Parking was about 10 minutes walk away for €20/ day in a private lot which was reasonable for the area.

Excellent family run B&B

A lovely family run B&B with a rooftop terrace overlooking the city and the sea. Wonderful breakfasts with choice of delicious homemade jams and yummy croissants etc. Our room was large and comfortable and the bathroom totally modern. Stefano provided great restaurant recommendations and helped with travel arrangements. Highly recommend and great value!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Stefano is the perfect host, extremely helpful and accomodating. The location is perfect. The breakfast is the best we had on our trip. The room was clean. And the price is reasonable. Honestly, I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again if/when I visit Ortigia again. Highly recommend!

I can't say enough nice things about the hosts. They were so accommodating and gave us great recommendations on restaurants. The location is very close to the main areas. The room was wonderful. There was a place to hang your laundry on a little terrace. I would highly recommend staying here. Ortigia is just beautiful.

Location, location, location

Even though we had booked two weeks at a beach resort in Giardini-Naxos we still opted to come here for an overnight stay to get more from our visit to Ortigia/Siracusa than you can from just a day trip. Perfectly situated, close to everything and still on a nice and calm enough street. Best breakfast that we had in our two weeks in Sicily. Everybodys' reviews speak of the jams but really, you NEED to try them! Great host with good English, but still enough patience to also let me practise my Italian. Highly recommended and we'd gladly come back if we come to Ortigia again! /Jessie and Åke from Sweden
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

We were welcomed by Stefano, whose English was excellent. He was gracious and helpful in the extreme. This is a truly family-run business, including Stafano's father (Maurizio) and son (Christian). We have also met Antonio, who works on the front desk. The room was spotlessly clean and of the highest quality. A fridge as part of a small kitchen, access to a little courtyard, high speed wi-fi, a superior wall safe, lots of storage space and really effective air-conditioning gives you everything you want and more. Stefano had arranged a taxi from Catania Airport to Aretusa Vacanze with his friend, Danilo, for €90.

My friends and I loved this BnB and the family that runs it. The breakfast was very fresh with lots of variety. The rooms were very clean. Everything was just steps away. We’d definitely stay here again.
