Fodor's Review:

An elegant, fantasy-inspired design prevails at this venerable institution, which has enjoyed a prime position, the Porto Grande, at the base of Ortygia, since 1898. A surreal seascape painting and a whimsical chandelier set a dreamy tone in the lobby. Guest rooms have fine wood floors, inlaid wood furniture, and stained-glass windows. Spacious bi-level suites with staircases cost about EUR 60 more. While you indulge in excellent food, look out from the rooftop restaurant at superb views over the harbor and seafront. A shuttle service is provided to the hotel's private beach between June and September. Pros: Wonderful views from the rooftop restaurant, attentive service. Cons: Back rooms have no view, bathrooms are small.
