Domus Mariae

Fodor's Review:

You can see the sea at the end of the corridor as you enter this hotel on Ortygia's eastern shore. In an unusual twist, it's owned by nuns of the Ursuline order, who help to make the mood placid and peaceful. There's a chapel and library for guests. Don't expect monastic conditions, however: refined furnishings distinguish the public rooms. Guest rooms—six with sea views (an extra EUR 15) and six others with balconies overlooking the street—are bright, modern, and comfortable. A pretty roof terrace takes advantage of the hotel's superb position. Pros: Nice breakfast room, gorgeous sea views, enthusiastic staff. Cons: Stairs to climb.
