As our favourite, the Approdo della Sirene was full, we booked Caol Ishka. It was after all a disappointment. The rooms were small and poorly lit (no reading lights!), no space to store two small suitcases, no adequate storage room for clothing, and all that for a room which cost Eur 245. I also really disliked the front desk which... More

Booked the hotel for two nights as part of our honeymoon and on recommendation from family. True, we had a hard time finding the place with crappy garmin GPS and just the booking address (print google map beforehand...) but once there, exactly as we were told and more. The feel and look is quite distinct, very modern, not for everyone... More

We had 2 nights here on our honeymoon and we enjoy some parts of this place. The room was great (massive bed, funky shower), the restaurant was great and the staff good. However the hotel is too near the main road for this hotel to be totally relaxing. The noise is not audible fom the rooms but its noticeable whenever... More

Lovely place with beautifull garden in a peaceful setting. The sunsets are great and you can enjoy them from the pool. It is also worth to check out the pool by night. The rooms a good, with huge bed and great bathroom.

Recently spent two nights at Caol Ishka. Room was modern and interesting. Pool was delightful. I enjoyed being outside the city but still only 5 min. away by car. Staff was very helpful in making dinner reservations for us in Siracusa. Only complaint is that the room lighting was not adequate for reading for my aging eyes. Beware of mosquitoes... More

Caol Ishka is a beautiful, inventive, welcoming, comfortable and inspiring boutique hotel... but it's just about 1km in the wrong direction. Some previous reviewers have exaggerated it... It's not in the middle of an industrial estate! It's on a few acres of beautifully maintained land, on the banks of a charming little river. But you have to drive through a... More

We stayed here for 3 nights in September and really enjoyed our visit. Hotel is modern with an emphasis on cool design. We also ate in the restaurant and standard of food was good with very friendly service. Location is ideal - outside of the city but it can be easily reached by car within 15 minutes. Gardens are lovely... More

From all the hotels I stayed in Sicily, this was the one I most preferred. Just a 5 minute ride away from Ortigia, this hotel has few rooms, but lovely ones, facing a garden and a nice swimming pool. The breakfast was great, and we enjoyed sitting in the garden at the end of the day. Negative points was the... More

If you like small, boutique hotels, this place is wonderful. The grounds are stunning and the rooms very modern. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful and the restaurant is one of the best in Syracuse (so much so that locals flock here on weekends). It is out of the city centre which is great as a retreat but you... More
