Grand location overlooking Archimedes square. More of a hotel than a B & B – really big comfortable bed, daily servicing of the room including fresh towels. The owner spoke little English but was very warm and welcoming, marked out the places to go on a map, including 2 of the best restaurants we ate at on our whole trip... more

What a beautiful, spotlessly clean hidden gem this place is. Giusseppe was exceptionally warm and friendly offering us great advice and even serving us fabulous coffee at the bar downstairs. We enjoyed our evenings on the balcony overlooking Piazza archimedes and watching all the brides taking pictures in front of the fountain. there must have been at least 8 weddings... more

Stayed here with my wife in June for one night. Giuseppe the owner was very welcoming and gave some advise on the best spots in town. Car parking is available near the waterfront for EUR 1 per 24 hours (Giuseppe will explain), and a free shuttle bus will take you back (although it's walkable). We had the Ulyssee room, one... more

The best thing about B&B Itaca is it's proprietor, Giuseppe. He is very welcoming and informative. He spent at least 20 minutes explaining the sites of Syracuse and noting the things that we shouldn't miss. We've traveled a lot in Italy and have experienced several jaded hoteliers who don't care about tourists. Giuseppe is an exception - very kind and... more

I spent four nights here in late April, and came away quite satisfied. As others have said, Guiseppe doesn't speak much English but he makes up for it with friendliness and an eagerness to make sure you enjoy your stay. I had a room with a skylight on the top floor, but no other windows. The room was on the... more

This bed and breakfast was one of the highlights of our 18 day trip to Sicily. The room overlooks the square which gives you a fascinating insight into the activities of the local people. The room was clean, roomy and charming. Guiseppe was always ready to please. The person he got to pick us up at the airport was right... more

We booked this b&b partly based on the reviews from previous travellers and we have to say they were absolutely right. The location is perfect. Bus n. 20 (free bus) takes you from Siracusa Mainland to the piazza directly in front. This Piazza is the liveliest and greatest place you can find for people watching from the balcony of your... more

All the other reviews have covered the main points. I'll just add a couple. There is a kitchen at the top floor that's available for use. It wasn't quite done when we were there (no hot water) but it was usable and there was a table and chairs. So you could refrigerate your water. . Plus, it was great to... more

We arrived at the B and B really late, tired and bemused in Siracusa due to a delayed train from Messina. Guiseppe was a fantastic host and showed us straight to our room which exceeded our expectations - this hotel was really good value for money. The room was clean and completed to a high standard of decor. The hotel... more
