it is the people you meet that really make your trip pleasurable. This is true of Enzo and he made our stay at his Charme Ares B&B truly a treat. We enjoyed Ortigia and Siracusa very much and Enzo made our stay that much better. We enjoyed our accommodation including the room and the location. Enzo is a real ambassador... More

This is a wonderful place. Enzo is fantastic. The rooms are beautifully furnished and spacious. We were with 2 other couples, all family with different interests. Enzo recommended sites and foods for all of our different tastes. He definitely loves Ortigia. Appearing almost out of thin air when I was looking for cannolis for my husband. He took me to... More

We were a group of six (three couples) and all of us highly recommend Charmes Ares. It is a lovely B&B in a great location but the real treat is the host, Enzo. He is so proud of his city, its history and all the effort that's going into restoration work and he clearly loves sharing his passion for Ortigia... More

We chose Charme Ares B&B based on trip advisor reviews and really glad we did! Enzo was a great host giving us fab restaurant recommendations and things to do and see, he even walked us to the bus stop the day we were leaving to show us where to get the free shuttle to the station!

I've been meaning to put a review on here for ages and feel a bit guilty for not doing so before. This place is really highly recommended. Enzo is a charming and enthusiastic host who has a wealth of local knowledge which he's happy to share with you. The place itself is in a great location on the Ortigia and... More

The sweetest hosts I have met. He spent a long time to give us the best advice - both swimming opportunities, attractions and restaurants. Great room with balcony, perfect air conditioning and a nice bathroom.Can not recommend Charme Ares enough.

With Enzo on vacation, cousin Stanni was our host and he could not have been more welcoming and helpful. His knowledge of the local restaurants is superb. We loved the breakfasts at the Duomo-- a stunning setting. We were surprised that we could swim in the sea with the locals within a ten minute walk. The rooms are well decorated... More

We really enjoyed staying in this B and B, situated right in the centre of Ortigia. The bedroom was very comfortable and the bathroom fine. Enzo, our charming and enthusiastic host, was very helpful and we followed all his recommendations as to where to go and what to see.

Enzo is eager to share his passion about food and architecture with his guests. The result is very rewarding, especially if you follow his restaurant recommendations. We plied him with all sorts of questions, from where the best beaches were to what to bring to our Sicilian hosts, and Enzo took them all very seriously Our room was quiet and... More
