Great location in the middle of all the main sites in Ortigia - loved the proximity to everything via walking. Hard to find and not easy to get to from parking, but once there, great stay all around!

Lovely, well located and spacious
accommodations. Spotless, right in the heart of Ortigia but not noisy - easy access to all sights.
Most helpful staff and owner! Alessia is a gem and so helpful, Barbara is a joy at breakfast and Martina is lovely and gracious. Breakfast was incredibly delicious each morning with many wonderful choices and local, family specialties.

Have stayed in many B&Bs in Italy and elsewhere and Maeco is one the very best. Martina extends a warm welcome, has excellent taste and runs a superb operation. The location couldn’t be better and the B&B’s modern amenities are integrated beautifully into the impressive historic building.

Everything around this bnb is simply lovely. The building is authentic, right there in the main piazza , the cleanliness is astonishing, and the service is beyond, owner was attentive to my needs, she agreed to serve breakfast earlier, she guided my thorough every step of check in, made sure I had recommendations of the city, she was fantastic, breakfast delicious in a beautiful dining room.

Loved the stay. Can easily recommend this place.
In the heart of Ortigia but still quiet room. Was met with modern B&B in historic but renovated place and excellent host. Loved every thing about this place. The attention to detail in all aspect, from decor to facilities, breakfast, quality of bed and pillow etc etc. Will for sure stay here again. In factc staying 2 extra days in a smaller room (1 person) which also is just as lovely.

This B&B is simply 5 stars. Its location is right in the centre of Ortigia, so perfect for dining, exploring and shopping. Quiet at night in our room despite being located in a main alleyway. Breakfast was superb & Martina (the owner) was amazing. Lovely experience

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.
