Walking through narrow and interesting alleys, you find the hotel by going through a portal to a small cozy square with two restaurants. L'Acanto has a great location! Giuliana is a really helpful hostess. She serves a phenomenal, rich, fresh and varied breakfast that can be enjoyed on the roof terrace. Coffee available all day from the coffee machine. The room is very clean and comfortable. We plan to return again. Of topic: At Ortigia you will find ice cream delicacies with flavors such as almonds, cherries and pistachios. Highly recommended to try!

A wonderful place in the heart of Ortigia! 2-3 minutes from the Cathedral, 2-3 minutes from Archimedes Square. The building in which it is located has an authentic Sicilian spirit, many small artistic, beautiful details contribute to your pleasant stay. The hostess Giuliana prepares a rich, varied breakfast in the morning, served on a beautiful roof terrace. We had a wonderful time in Ortigia! When we arrived in Siracusa, Giuliana's husband was waiting for us with his private car at the bus stop. When we vacated the room, we were given the opportunity to leave our luggage as long as necessary absolutely free of charge. We wish these hospitable hosts much health and luck!

The breakfast is on the nice rooftop terrace but to go there, the guests themselves have to climb a steep staircase balancing their tray. We went there one day however, on the other day, we decided to have breakfast in our room.

Fantastic location right in the heart of Ortigia. Lovely place, nicely decorated, with a clean and comfortable room. We felt at home! Coffee machine, tea, croissants and cannolis are available all day. The hostess, Giulianna, was very friendly and helpful.

An exceptional place with outstanding hospitality! This location has so much soul and warmth, thanks to Giuliana, who made our time in Syracuse truly special. This place has an artistic vibe with great attention to detail and no compromise on comfort. The breakfast was extraordinary, it is served on the rooftop terrace with a selection of local pastries and fresh products, freshly squeezed orange juice, and excellent coffee. L’Acanto is situated in an incredible location, on one of the most beautiful streets in Ortigia, making it an ideal base for exploring. We can’t wait to return!

It's hard to imagine a better location in Ortigia. It is very central, but still quiet with very little traffic noise. Our hostess was very kind and helpful, and the breakfast she served every morning was excellent; bread with sesame seeds, ham cheese (pecorino, ricotta etc), olives, dried tomatoes, jam... and freshly pressed orange juice and coffee.

The breakfast was great and pleasant on the rooftop terrace. The room was big and nicely decorated and comfortable. This is one of our top stays in all of Sicily.

Belle et grande chambre, confortable. The restaurant on the ground floor cam be noisy. Problem of communication on the first night. You must know that only parking with 24/h fortait is Talete. But we still hab a charming stay in Ortigia.

Noise from the restaurant below the unit. However, in all fairness, previous reviews provided advance notification and the host offered rooms without balconies that would have been less noisy.

Walking distance from Ortigia’s main piazza in the heart of Isle Ortigia. Restaurants and cultural sights within minutes by foot from L’Acanto.

It is a wonderful apartman in the center.

Fantastic location in the middle of Oritigia. Beautiful charming rooms, always kept spotlessly clean. The rooftop breakfast service, prepared daily by the owner, Giulianna, was just amazing. Guilianna was also incredibly helpful and accommodating all during our stay. Excellent service, and highly reccomended!

We notice some reviews comment on noise from the pub/restaurant below but it did not bother us, but may have been more noticeable in other rooms.

We stayed here for 4 nights. We had arranged to drop off our rental car and Giulianna had arranged a pick from there. There was a problem with the drop off and upon arrival at the bnb Giulianna was wonderful in sorting out our problem. We had the ‘key’ room, which was very spacious and comfortable. Breakfast on the terrace was a great way to start the day, Giulianna prepared breakfast with produce picked up from the market. The location is perfect, being in the centre of Ortigia and convenient to everything, which was ideal as everything was within walking distance. Finally, Giulianna arranged a airport shuttle for our departure. Our communication before and during our stay was excellent, all in all, a very enjoyable stay. Thank you, Giulianna.

I can't think of anything.

The location is absolutely beautiful, just in the heart of Oritigia island, 6-7 minutes from both beaches in Ortigia, Cala Rossa, and Spiaggia Diana nel Forte. A cute restaurant is located just downstairs, Chiodo - showroom con cucina. The room was beautiful and cleaned every day, the breakfast was very good, and there were multiple options, from the pastries common in an Italian breakfast to different types of cheese, salami, and prosciutto. Giuliana and Lidia are wonderful and kind hosts. Everything was just perfect!

L'Acanto is situated in the heart of Ortigia Island, surrounded by many restaurants and pubs. Nevertheless, the room was quite and comfortable. The breakfast is amazing and every day it is possible to choose among many fresh local products.

The perfect location right in the heart of the beautiful Ortigia making it a perfect place to base yourself, stroll around and take in this wonderful place. Very comfortable place to stay. You have to walk through an archway just off Via Roma to find the entrance to the left of Chiodo - Showroom con cucina (a great place to dine & chill. The restaurant below can get a little noisy of an evening but that just adds to the vibe of the area. It's been said before but the breakfast provided is sublime and a great terrace to enjoy it on

Bar downstairs a little noisy but it closed around midnight so not too bad.

Central location in Ortigia, right near Piazza Archimedes, the Duomo and waterfront of the Ionian Sea. Beautiful breakfast supplied. Coffee machine & tea available all the time. Extremely helpful owner.
