Minareto

staff was really nice.

very small sand beach and shared with locals which is not a problem for me but for them as their land was taken by this private hotel; breakfast was really a disgrace, for such a nice place to eat 9 days same things is not nice; a little noisy , all the time works around; a little limited for the wellness part; some cleaners were ok but other not really - missed to provide water, clean some parts that were obiously dirty...the sand beach also very narrow and you simply cannot stay there because the sea takes over by the midle of the day

Everything. Beautiful hotel, amazing landscaping and location. Great service and food. Right across from Ortigia. Beautiful views.

AMAZING LOCATION… arguably one of the best in Sicily and the world.

Distance from Ortigia and Siracusa center required boat shuttle @25 eur per person.Restaurant too sophisticated with small portions and a bit pricey in relation to quality delivered.

Great location and staff. Great breakfast and facilities.

Property was great, but the family suite had no proper closets and the sofa bed was very. uncomfortable even for light weight children, it sagged and cracked through the entire night.

Views are incredible, very comfortable everywhere, the attention is top notch, staff very proffesional

The location is just amazing ! Wonderful views of Ortigia ! Staff were fantastic and Alessandro was so helpful at check in !! Thank you to everyone for a wonderful stay and for a fantastic upgrade for our 20th anniversary trip to beautiful Sicily !!!

Nothing - it is perfect

The property is immaculate with beautiful cactus and olive tree gardens. The view is fabulous. From one side there is rocky beach with a view of Ortigia and on the other side there is a lovely sandy beach overlooking a cove. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. The breakfast buffet was delicious and varied. The staff was helpful and accommodating. It is about a 20 minute easy drive to Ortigia which we did a couple of times. Local attractions were easy to get to.

Good location far from crowds (but need a car), exclusive access to one beaches (sandy and on the rocks), great views of Ortigia, fabulous breakfast (with some negatives below), polite hotel team.

Several things to improve:1) please do not put food from yesterday for breakfast! The carrots, in which flies start to live, or croissants, which are not fresh anymore. This is just obvious and ruins all breakfast experience. For carrots just do not put too much but better fresh every day. For croissants it goes without saying that fresh croissants are today’s!!!2) Massage experience was terrible. It is very cold in the room. The massage itself is not massage, just some gliding movements. Not worth anything. I couldn’t wait when it would finish.3) it is noisy in the morning. The golf cars going and personnel talking. Please wait until at least 08.00 for work Start.4) very bad sound isolation in the rooms via bathrooms. If the bathroom door is open you can hear everything in the adjacent rooms.5) no railguards in the rocky beach. It is very dangerous especially for children…

Location, service and staff were amazing. We had just a 5 day stay for our anniversary, and they made it truly wonderful.

Air conditioning in the room was poor and no drinking water provided in the rooms (apart from the first day) had to use the mini bar or room service and that was chargeable

Lovely pool and beach. V comfy rooms with good privacy. Excellent breakfast. Good food all day. Friendly and helpful staff

Slightly chaotic ordering of drinks which took a while to arrive. As it was the shoulder season the dining room was a bit soulless.

+ Great location and service, fantastic staff- the hotel area is not contiguous, so from our room we had to walk half a block through a small road and passing a construction site to get to the beach and restaurant

Nice atmo. All staff very welcoming. Very easy and quick service via Watsapp. Good food. Privat beaches are excelent.

Where to start? Whether we visited the "sandy beach", "rocky beach", pool or took the private boat over to Ortigia it was simply an amazing time. Truly a world class five star resort.

For such an amazing property, the food at dinner could have been better. Breakfast was truly amazing but dinner was lacking and the service was really off.

A beautiful location with wonderful breakfast menu a nice lunch and wonderful dinner menu with great restaurants.A sandy beach that was clean and clear with a rocky beach which faced the old town of Ortigia and gave a real sense of luxe about it.

The hotel was generous to upgrade us to an extremely comfortable suite. We very much enjoyed the decor and space of the room, the choice of 3 different swimming areas and the excellent breakfasts overlooking the sea. The whole environment has been beautifully planted with olive trees and exotic cactus plants. It was a relaxing and indulgent break. Greatly appreciated.

Rather bland architectural features of main building and restaurant. Very expensive restaurant and - apart from the wonderful (but pricey) sea taxi - a tad remote from the action and sights of Ortigia. Certainly not as eco as it might like to think of itself.

This property was beautifully situated in a remote area with stunning views and the water taxi made it convenient to get to Siracusa and Ortigia.

Felt a little stranded. Only one restaurant, limited menu— very expensive and no alternatives for a quick inexpensive snack. Also it didn’t have a gift shop and no local place to pick up amenities.

Wonderful views across to Orvieto. Easy to drive to Syracuse/Orvieto or visit city by boat from the hotel.Excellent room service by WhatsApp to anywhere in the hotel.

Location, stunning view, all sunbathing locations are nice, as well as the sandy one in a bay as the rocks with a view.Swimming pool and a sitting area on top of the sea as if you’re on a cruise ship.Room/beach and all around service of food and drinks is quick and handy, the quality very good.

The interior decoration is a bit old fashioned, upholstery is not the ideal decor for the seaside.A bit disappointing for a *****star luxury that there is not a complimentary water supply in the rooms

Nice view, friendly staff, quite nice rooms. The rocky beach was accessible with difficulty since rocks were very slippery. The restaurant had very nice tastes, wine catalogue was broad but expensive. Breakfast had a lot of tasty choices.

the rocky beach, the prices

The two beaches The wonderful site with the amazing view on ortiggiaThe boat to go to OrtiggiaThe staff was really nice and professional The what’s app system to order food and drinks is super proficient …Our room was spacious and comfortable

The food menu was limited and super expensive We would have expected to eat Sicilian food…The water was charged and expansive (6€ a bottle) whereas we could not drink tap water and had nowhere to buy water around the hotel. Water should have been complimentary…
