Ortygia, Sicily hotel rooms at the Independent

"Excellent customer service. The room was spacious, comfortable and clean. The upgrade with the four poster bed and side balcony with sea view was very much appreciated. Thank you. The breakfast was amazing. It exceeded our expectations. So much choice. It included lots of local specialities and Sicilian treats. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return."

"Great hotel"

"Absolutely super hotel, in a fabulous location"

"It was a great experience. The hotel owners did an excellent job with the remodel. Our room was very comfortable. The room and hotel facilities were better than the pictures. Bravo! "

"Wonderful place to stay!"

"Amazing property in Syracusa. Do not miss this majestic property close to shopping, activities and dinning. "

"My husband & I stayed 2 nights in mid-May 2025. We loved this historic and fascinating B&B within a current convent (yes, we saw the nuns!). Comfortable 2nd floor room that opened onto a quiet, shared, shaded terrace. There’s also a ln upper terrace with seattle & sea views. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Note: wifi was very unreliable. We parked our rental car at the Talete garage about 10 minutes walk, for €15 per 24 hrs. Overall, this was a great location for us in Ortigia."

"This was a great place to stay. The location is terrific. In a really nice part of the island with lots to see and do. The staff was extremely helpful. The building has ultra security. If you are driving your car it is difficult to find as the street names are non existent but once you get there it is very comfortable. "
