Giuggiulena

Als wir zur Giuggiulena kamen, verstanden wir, was ein „verborgenes Juwel“ bedeutet. Unser Zimmer lag direkt am Meer und hatte eine private Terrasse. Es besteht auch die Möglichkeit, zum Meer hinunterzulaufen oder sich auf das Sonnendeck auf dem Dach zu begeben. Es wird von zwei netten Schwestern geführt, die uns vom ersten Moment an willkommen geheißen haben. Da nur drei Parkplätze verfügbar sind, ist eine Reservierung erforderlich. Toller Frühstücksraum mit Blick aufs Meer. Es war sehr entspannend, das Rauschen der Wellen und der Felsen zu hören und es fühlte sich an, als wäre man IM Meer :)

Like staying with friends if your friends have a house on the sea , produce amazing breakfasts and views to die for Light floods in everywhere and immediately lifts up the most jaded of spirits We stayed 4 nights and loved every moment The home made breakfast spread each morning was fabulous - every day different things The two owners were genuinely welcoming and warm If it could be moved maybe just 10 minutes nearer to Ortigia then it would be perfect !! -however the walk isn’t hard , takes 20 minutes and there’s a decent bus service Ortigia is busy busy so to return here after a day sightseeing and be greeted by the sights and sounds of the sea is worth everything

What a find!The hotel is like entering a different world for the busy streets it is on. Inside it is cool and beautifully set out and decorated. The hosts are very friendly and helpful . Rooms are stunning and have everything you could need. And the views are truly amazing. Our breakfasts were delicious and varied. Getting into the sea could prove difficult because of the rocks but shoes were provided and once we became more confident it was fine and so different to usual swimming. The walk into Ortega was fine and made for a nice post dinned bit of exercise before heading to our cool comfortable room. A great stay

It is our second time at Giuggiulena and this place is an absolute oasis in Siracusa. Sabrina and Claudia know how to make us all feel at home with perfect hospitality, immaculate rooms and probably the most amazing view you can have in Siracusa. The breakfast is all homemade with the best pistachio cake to pair with the perfect cappuccino. We will keep coming back.

La Giuggiulena is a cozy hotel that provides very clean and comfortable rooms, nicely appointed with very comfortable beds, useful accessories, and peace and quiet. All the rooms look out at the Ionian Sea and there is a terrace available for sun bathing or for enjoying a bottle of wine and snacks. There is a bounty of fresh fruits and pastries available at breakfast along with eggs, cereals, yogurt, and fresh breads. The pastries are made on the premises and are exceedingly fresh and delicious, baked lovingly by Claudia, one of the two sisters who own the Villa. The other sister is Sabrina who is a source of all kinds of information about Sicily, Siracusa, and Ortigia. She is especially adept at arranging and advising on things to do and restaurants to visit. The Villa is located on a bus line, which makes it is easy to get around the city and the island or Ortigia from there. One can walk to Ortigia from the hotel in about 15 minutes. Finding a comfortable, clean, and quiet place to stay is one of the ingredients to a successful vacation. What makes La Giuggiulena extra special is the hospitality of Sabrina and Claudia, who are wonderful people who strive to make everyone enjoy their time in Sicilia. I would not hesitate to stay there again! It's a great place and they are great people!

The Hotel is beautiful, but this review is really about the owners. They went over and above to help us when we had an unfortunate incident. The morning after checking, while walking to our rental car parked on the street, we found it had been hit head-on by another car during the middle of the night. The other vehicle was still there with airbags deployed but no driver. Our car wasn't driveable and needed to be towed. The rental car agency was not helpful (even hanging up on us) because they didn't want to call a tow truck. After my credit card had declined their 5,000 Euro charge, they insisted I go back immediately to the Airport (an hour away) to pay them an initial accident amount (5000 Euros). Sabrina stepped in and made several calls to the Rental agency before they agreed to send a tow truck and wait until the next day when I was flying. Sabrina then drove me to the local tow company, so I could pay them using my credit card, otherwise they would not have towed the car.
