Really enjoyed the stay and the area. The property is a bit of an odd lay out but our room was lovely. Visit the baths downstairs.

The property is well located. However, the amenities are limited. Isabella, one of the employees, was very friendly and helpful. The rest of the staff, in my experience, were rude.

Good location and quiet.
We enjoyed this hotel. It was charming and close to everything. Just one road away from the sea. Could use a few updates, but we didn't spend much time in the room for it to bother us. The staff were helpful and friendly.

The service and friendly staff gets 5 stars.
On the other side, what I missed was having an overhead circulating fan and a full length mirror. Minor issues

This is easily one of the most charming and wonderful hotel stays that we have had in years. We would not only stay here again, but highly recommend it. We chose and paid more for room 12, which I highly recommend. It felt like am apartment with three rooms rather than just a hotel stay - it had ocean views from two rooms. The location is A .

We had a great stay at Alla Giudecca. It's very well located and had a nice ambiance. Breakfast was great and communication easy. The concierge helped us figure out parking and upgraded us to a larger room because it happened to be available. The beds are rather firm, but the spaces are charming and the hotel is just steps away from the water and many of the sights and restaurants. Highly recommend taking a tour of the Jewish baths on site if you have the chance.

Room was spacious and well equipped in an ancient villa like atmosphere (used to be the Jewish public baths still visible in the ground floor).
At night (no staff to refer to) we could never figure out how to heat the room, so spent a rather cold December night.
Full of character (with a museum in the basement). Close to restaurants and other sights (the cathedral/museums etc...). Self catering in rooms is basic - better to eat out. About 120 Euro taxi ride from Catania airport. Reception is not 24/7 so arriving out of hours needs some advance planning. Reception staff are very helpful. Ortigia itself is tiny and you can walk everywhere. Don't forget your afternoon siestas.

We cannot recommend staying at this hotel. In fact, we didn't even stay and chose to book elsewhere after check in. The photos in the listing are in no way comparable to the actual rooms. The furnishings were worn down, uncomfortable and not well kept. The bathroom had visible mold and was extremely old, not in a charming way. There is no AC in the bedrooms either. The clerk was not particularly welcoming or accommodating. There are many other hotels in the area, choose a different one.
My room was so far from the front desk down an alley with limited wifi. I asked them to move me the 2nd day. The bathroom had mold in the shower and the kitchenette needed updating. The blowdryer was broken and the mirror was old. This has a great potential for a hotel but needs updating. The room was big and could have been 2 rooms.
