Nothing to say on the location, the politeness of the Hotel Staff and the rooms. The only downside is that being there is no sound insulation from noises generated inside the hotel while there is an excellent insulation from outside noises. Given the overall setup is super why don' t you, dear Aretusa Facility owners, invest some of the money... More

Aretusa Vacanze is a lovely B&B in a great location, just steps from the Fonte Aretusa and a quick walk to the Piazza Duomo. Our room was comfortable and spacious, and the rooftop terrace was delightful. We sat outside for breakfast every morning (indoor seating is also available), the perfect setting to have our daily freshly-squeezed orange juice and cappuccino... More

Friendly hotel in the heart of the old city. No problem finding it or parking as one of the staff met us after a quick phone call and sorted things. Nice comfortable room up a narrow staircase or slow lift. Very good breakfast on the rooftop terrace

I can't overstate how wonderful the customer service is here. Very welcoming, helpful and knowledgeable about the local area and Sicily more widely. Breakfast on the roof terrace was fantastic- freshly squeezed orange juice, coffee to order, fresh strawberries, homemade cakes as well as the usual fare. The room was clean and comfortable and the venue super central. A highlight... More

My father was born in Siracusa and we were excited to experience Sicily. We stayed here for 2 nights at the beginning of our trip. The staff was extremely helpful in all aspects:dining, attractions,shopping. The family running this establishment certainly displayed the Sicilian hospitality about which we had heard. Our room was on the 2nd floor at the front of... More

Very charm B&B in a good area. Great breakfast in a terrace, nice rooms - even though you can hear the other guests - and helpful staff. There is an elevator which is good for people travelling with heavy luggage. The room is very nice, with a kitchen, and good space. In every floor, there are tea, coffee, lemons :).... More

Found this B&B through a German trip organizer; both couples were very satisfied with our stay here. The rooms are quaint, nicely appointed and comfortable with small, well-equipped bathrooms and small kitchenettes. The staff were extremely helpful and pleasant and gave us a good restaurant recommendation which we'll review elsewhere. The breakfast was very satisfactory with fresh fruit, yoghurt, juice,... More

Our room was a mini apartment with little kitchenette, lounge area, bathroom and a loft-style bedroom upstairs. It was clean and homely, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Breakfast on the sunny roof terrace was lovely, as was Ettore, one of the family members who owns/runs the place. He was always always available for a chat, and to... More

Staff is what makes this place a stand-out -- they are full of information about the many lovely places to visit and eat. Our room was big and very clean. This old city is very beautiful. Our stay here was a lovely beginning for our stay in Sicily.
