We spent 3 glorious days in Syracuse at L'Approdo delle Sirene. Location was perfect, room was lovely and breakfasts terrific with a great view on the terrace. Frederik was more than helpful with his suggestions of restaurants and directions to great beaches. He went above the call of duty when our car broke down . We highly recommend this B&B. more

Instead of writing about the B&B – which we stayed in and loved (it really is a great, clean and well located place). I wanted to write about the wonderful experience we had with a cooking course that we had with Fiora at L'Approdo delle Sirene, (you can use the B&B addy to schedule something). The day was broken up... more

If you want a a lovely room with an excellent bathroom , great (quiet) location and charming hosts then stay here! We stayed for two nights and can't really imagine finding somewhere better. Restuarants and shops are close by and the views from our room were terrific- across the harbour entrance. Breakfast was great - lots of choice and great... more

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our four night stay at the Hotel Approdo della Sirene in mid May of 2008. Like so many who have written prior reviews, we were charmed by its owners, Fiora, and her son, Frederick. Their warmth and helpfulness made our stay there extra special. The hotel is on a corner lot on the island... more

My 2 days here were unforgettable, for all the right reasons. All of the glowing comments posted in previous reviews are true. Parking is not even a problem – you can load and unload at the entrance, and park in the covered municipal park for just €1 a day, 7 mins walk. Great location on Ortygia itself, spacious and cool... more
