Top Santa Lucia Hotel Reviews

Nostos rooms & Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"Nostos was clean and comfortable. It was well situated for city sites, tour pickup points, and public transportation. Staff was very helpful. There was no elevator (lift), but the staff carried our bags up two flights."

Mangia's Brucoli, Sicily, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Staying will be an extremely fond memory for my wife and I. After the first night, we both decided to make our stay here our official honeymoon. The view from our room allowed for an incredible view of Mt Etna. The staff is professional and polite and very friendly. The breakfast buffet is pretty outstanding with so many options. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to try the other restaurants but we were able to take advantage of the Lime Bar before leaving. They absolutely captured Sicily’s beautiful culture and atmosphere. We absolutely recommend staying at Mangia, hands down, with zero hesitation."

Maniace Boutique Hotel Ortigia UNA Esperienze

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is a gem! I wanted to move in. The staff was extremely helpful. We parked our car with them and the fee is 40 euros but that is absolutely the going rate for hotel parking in Ortigia. Luca, the Desk Manager was a delight. We made last minute reservations and he was so helpful and welcoming. We absolutely love our rooms facing the sea. I slept with my window open and enjoyed the sounds of the waves all night. Luca also made dinner reservations for us and we had a marvelous evening. I wanted to move in. The hotel is new but comfortable. The bathroom/shower was well laid out and luxurious."

Grand Hotel Villa Politi

8/10 Good

"Overall, we had a good stay at Grand Hotel Villa Politi. The hotel has a beautiful historic character and was very clean. The breakfast was excellent, with a wide variety of both continental and traditional Italian options. The swimming pool was another great highlight. Its location was very convenient for travelling by car, just outside the ZTL, with on-site parking available. However, the hotel has quite a lot of stairs, which can make getting around less convenient, and we found the staff could have been more helpful and attentive. Overall, a good option for exploring Syracuse, especially for travellers arriving by car."

Fortaleza Charme House

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is quite cool - looks unimpressive from the outside but inside the rooms are very modern and clean. We had 2 rooms on the top floor with skylights which had remote-controlled shades. We were given code access to get in - which was perfect as we arrived early and dropped our bags off. We were lucky to fin street parking just across the street from the hotel. The location was awesome. Right next to the bridge to Ortigia. Plenty of coffee shops and restaurants near by. The staff provided helpful recommendations and was very accommodating. We would highly recommend the hotel."
