    stunning beach
    accommodating staff
    limited food options

    We absolutely loved the stunning beach and the boat service to explore nearby Siracusa. The staff was incredibly accommodating, especially when we requested amenities for our baby, ensuring our stay was comfortable and enjoyable.

    My wife says that it would be great if better food options were available for families with children.

    incredible views
    attentive staff
    small rooms
    limited dining options
    dated amenities

    The views here are incredible, particularly from the terrace overlooking Ortigia, making every moment spent outdoors a delight. The pool and sandy beach area are beautifully maintained, and the staff are attentive, quickly delivering food and drinks wherever needed. However, the rooms felt small and somewhat dated, needing updates to match the ambiance, and the dining options were limited, lacking the variety expected in a high-end resort. Overall, this was a mixed experience, balancing stunning views with some areas needing improvement.

    great service
    high restaurant prices
    average food quality

    Amazing staff and lovely service.

    I was incredibly disappointed with the dining options. The restaurant prices felt outrageously high for average meals, and I had high expectations for Italian food. The limited dishes and mediocre quality really left a bad taste in my mouth—literally. Despite the beautiful ambiance, the food simply did not match up.

    high restaurant prices

    Had an awesome time with friends! The views were breathtaking, especially from the private beaches, and the pools were a great way to relax. We enjoyed daily trips to Ortigia and hit up great local restaurants. The staff was super friendly, and the breakfast options were top-notch!

    One downside was the restaurant prices, which felt a bit high for average meals. We'd recommend exploring local dining instead.

    I thoroughly enjoyed the breathtaking views of Ortigia from my room and the beautifully landscaped gardens, which made navigating the hotel easy and pleasurable for someone my age. The attentive staff further enhanced my experience.

    stunning views
    quick service
    sunset deck

    staying at minareto was a wonderful experience! the location is stunning, with beautiful views and a water taxi making it easy to explore. the wooden deck overlooking the sea is perfect for sunsets with champagne. the service was quick and friendly, which made our stay even better.

    the only downside was that the remoteness made getting taxis a bit tricky.
