Where to begin! Caol Ishka was one of the reasons for me to visit Sicily...honestly...I fell in love with its photos in 2007 and it was not until July 2009 that I actually convinced my partner to go there...As expected, I found the buildings with their Lilac exterior very cool & the interiors to match with...we were greeted by a... more

we had a great stay here. yes, like some of the reviews state, it is located off a busy road just outside Syracusa..but for those of you who have never had the pleasure of driving down tiny Italian streets...parking your car just outside the madness and taking a 10euro cab to the heart of Ortygia( the old town) is not... more

We stayed at the Caohl Ishka on our honeymoon in July 2009 for 2 weeks. We had the most amazing time. We arrived late afternoon to be greeted by one of the owners Gareth. He made us feel welcome straight away and showed us to our room. On our arrival we had a lovely complimentary bottle of Prosecco. We stayed... more

My friend and I stayed in Caol Ishka during a trip through Sicily and I must admit it was a breath of fresh air to be spending time in the lush, well designed rooms or just chilling by the pool - a little oasis with good food as one would expect. CLASS! more

My wife and l are just back from our fabulous honeymoon in Paradise! What can we say it was wonderful week away with everything on hand,from the amazing front office people to the owners themselves-you'd hardly know they were there! The town centre is a 5/10mins walk/drive away and full of little treasures of bars and restaurants,full of a great... more

The room was above and beyond my expectations and I was blown away by the bedroom and especially the bathroom, it's like nothing I've ever seen before. As I was staying with family I was fortunate enough to check... more

The room was excellent very spacious and modern. if your looking to relax and get away from the norm this is the place for... more

This hotel is on a main road outside of Syracuse. It is a hotel with some great design, but its not as well managed as it could be. Particularly when it comes to cleaning the rooms. We stayed here for 5 nights in April and wanted somewhere with some outside space so chose to stay here rather than in the... more

I’ve just got back from a tour round Sicily staying at five different hotels. Of the five this was my least favourite and the only one I would not return to. I do accept that the design of this hotel is unique, which I liked, but I feel this has been at the expense of functionality. I stayed in a... more
