Maniace Boutique Hotel Ortigia UNA Esperienze
My husband and I had an amazing time. The location was ideal. Very close to shopping and restaurants but very quiet. Everyone there was so nice and helpful and the breakfast was perfect for a day of roaming around. We will stay here every time we visit Ortigia

Lanterne Magiche Ortigia
the room was spacious (we had a bedroom and a kitchen with a couch- the ocean view was debatable ( you can only see the ocean if you stand right in front of a high window ) - the terrace is lovely, the breakfast was ok but no vegan options
