Cavagrande del Cassibile Nature Reserve, Sicily hotel rooms at the Independent

"The breakfast buffet was good and restaurant at dinner was very nice. A view of the sea from my room was wonderful. Front desk were helpful. "

"Beautiful place and room, hotel had a lot of character. Great breakfast. Would recommend."

"Awesome boutique hotel with cats and nuns—great views of the sea from some rooms. If you’re looking for a 3-star hotel in a superb location with very kind staff, you can’t go wrong here!"

"My husband and I had an amazing time. The location was ideal. Very close to shopping and restaurants but very quiet. Everyone there was so nice and helpful and the breakfast was perfect for a day of roaming around. We will stay here every time we visit Ortigia"

"Great room, breakfast, and staff. Adequate parking. Not too far from the historic district. Only issue we had is that the walls everywhere are painted black and lights were barely on, so it’s difficult to see where you are going. That’s the vibe, but older people like us may have a problem. "

"The staff were so friendly and welcoming and the rooms really comfortable and so clean. The whole place was warm ,which was a benefit as the weather outside was distinctly wet and cold.( It was March) The breakfast was all you could wish for and the communal table was an opportunity to meet and talk to people from all over the world. Highly recommended."

"We had such a lovely room, the private patio was gorgeous with many health plants and panoramic views of Ortigia. We could see the city on the right and the sea on the left. With the wooden table & chairs we had a lovely breakfast out there with a view and we were able to catch a beautiful sunset on our first night without having to leave. The staff made us feel comfortable and welcome, and the room was very clean & quiet. We would absolutely come back again."

"Excellent modern property, staff are all amazing. Walkable to everything."

"Excellent location and modern property"
