Review your stay at Hotel Cavalieri in Siracusa

23 June 2010, North Carolina, United States, tripadvisor
A truly enriching experience. We prepared carefully for our few days in Syracuse and especially sifted through the web for a charming hotel. The reality surpassed our expectations: the Hotel Cavalieri is truly elegant and its uniqueness will hit you the moment you enter it despite its quite unassuming exterior. Everyone working in the hotel is solicitous and eager to please.
We had a very quiet room looking over a small courtyard opposite to the road. The view was not exactly breath-taking, yet we found our room to be comfortable, beautifully designed, and well-appointed.
We recommend it very strongly if you look for charm, courtesy, comfort, and felicitous location.

Un lugar único para estar en Siracusa. En el centro de Siracusa, a través de Malta, justo al otro lado de la evocadora isla de Ortigia, se encuentra este hotel: un antiguo palacio con un nuevo y moderno estilo. Desde el momento que llegas nunca sientes que estas en un hotel y el trato es exquisito y personalizado. Cada día comienza con un rico y delicioso desayuno buffet, por ejemplo, con zumos de naranja de Sicilia y pastas y tartas caseras exquisitas. Todo ello hace de la estancia en esta casa una experiencia inolvidable.

Relaxing hotel. Stayed only one night but room and beds were comfortable and quiet surroundings. Breakfast was very good with a wide selection of foods. Pleasant staff were very willing to give advice about the area. Would stay longer next time.

"Hotel Cavalieri - bra service och frukost, rent". Lite svåra i början med incheckningen, så en liten varning för barnfamiljer, vi fick tex ha vår barnvagn i hyrbilen, de hade inte plats för den på hotellet, och vi fick inte ha den på rummet, men i slutändan bra service, erbjöd varm choklad till vår pojke till frukosten, mycket trevlig personal, liten men mycket bra frukost, allt var färskt, färskpressad juice. Rent, trevligt hotell, bra läge, ligger precis utanför centrum, lite dyrt, men man märker skillnad på standarden mellan detta hotell och andra som vi bodde på som var billigare.

Above average. We stayed with a friend for a weekend break to see Siracusa in Sicily. All of us are relatively seasoned travellers and we have to say that this hotel is certainly well above average. The service was excellent. Upon arrival we were even shown to our room by one of the concierge staff and were given excellent advice on places to see, dine and shop. They really took the time to work to our preferences and their recommendations were spot on.

Nice location, design hotel and caring staff. This property is managed by a wonderful and helpful staff, who care for their property (design, clean, comfort) and for their guests.
Location is just 5 minutes away from Ortigia - it has the advantage of being of easy access by car, with free parking places in the street just in front of the hotel or in the adjacent streets around the block.
You're here to have a comfortable room, not for a swimming pool, a gym or a business centre. Nice and quiet room with aircon, flat tv, spatious bathroom with amenities, and comfortable bed. Home-made cakes await you for breakfast - and a limited but fair choice of cold cuts, fruits, etc.
Definitely an excellent choice in Syracuse.

Thank you again for the great 4 nights we spent with you at Hotel Cavalieri. Your guidance and advice added a great deal to our time in Siracusa. Highlights for us included: Al Mazari restaurant, day trip to Noto, Buscemi, Fontana Bianche, Greek Teatro (Fedra)
Best wishes from us in Canada as your busy season starts through the summer.
Thanks again for your contribution to our introduction to beautiful Sicilia. Cheers, Matt K.

Eccellente. Diamo sempre un'occhiata a Tripadvisor prima di prenotare qualsiasi albergo e in effetti le indicazioni erano giuste: l'albergo è in ottima posizione per posteggiare e vicinissimo ad Ortigia, la camera pulita spaziosa ed elegante, la colazione ottima con vero succo d'arancia (finalmente), il personale premuroso nei confronti dei clienti. Inoltre l' arredo è bello e di ottimo gusto e in particolare la hall. Lo consigliamo.

Caro Gianluca, Io e Sandra abbiamo apprezzato molto i giorni trascorsi a Siracusa, la ns vacanza e' stata resa ancora più piacevole dall'ospitalita del tuo hotel, ho trovato la silenziosa eleganza minimalista dove colgo l'ispirazione per i miei dipinti e alla quale sono profondamente legato.

Iniziamo col dire che questo è stato sicuramente il miglior hotel di tutto il nostro tour. E' un piccolo boutique hotel di design, a pochi passi dall'isola di Ortigia, quindi comodo logisticamente e comunque centrale per i turisti (non ha parcheggio proprio ma nell'isolato si trova facilmente posto). Le camere e gli spazi comuni sono arredati con molto gusto e con un connubio moderno-antico molto piacevole (si vede la mano del proprietario che è architetto). La colazione è stata super-soddisfacente, con succo d'arancia spremuto al momento, torte e pasticceria di altissima qualità, pane croccante e freschissimo e frutta fresca (fragole, arance, mandarini, kiwi) tagliata a pezzi: insomma LA colazione che uno si aspetterebbe sempre e invece in altri hotel per un motivo o per l'altro mancava sempre qualcosa.
La vera differenza di questo hotel però sta nella conduzione familiare e nella cordialità dei suoi proprietari. Potrei dirvi che Gianluca è appunto architetto, che con la sua famiglia e la moglie austriaca hanno avviato da poco questa attività, che è stato un mountain-biker di alto livello, che ora pratica l'enduro, che ha paura dell'aereo :-), ecc. E come so tutte queste cose? Perché hanno "perso" del loro tempo prezioso con noi solo per chiacchierare amabilmente, anche se magari avevano altre mille faccende. E ovviamente non si è parlato solo di lui, ma è stato da subito prodigo di consigli su cosa potevamo visitare, dove avremmo potuto cenare, ci ha indicato su una cartina tutti gli itinerari da percorrere, insomma si è comportato più da "amico" che da "fornitore di servizi". Un esempio per molti altri albergatori di come si dovrebbe condurre un'attività e la riprova che questo comportamento paga è il fatto di essere già dopo due soli anni di attività nei primissimi posti del rating alberghiero (tripadvisor, booking, expedia, ecc.).

Ecccezionale gentilezza e cortesia del personale e dei proprietatri. La prima colazione con dolci fatti in casa e spremuta di arance di Sicilia, sobrietà e design della struttura.

Best in Syracuse, and Sicily. We had an excellent stay at this small boutique hotel. The owners work the front desk and are extremely helpful and friendly. Unlike many hotels the pictures of this hotel are actually very accurate. And we loved the modern design of the hotel, very difficult to find in Sicily. Wifi worked great (another rare thing in Sicily). There are some good restaurants nearby, but a five minute walk takes you into old town where you can find lots of choices. Their breakfast was simple but had the same quality level as the rest of our stay in the hotel. Parking was easy on the street one block away. We are hoping the owners open more hotels we can stay in. Highly recommended.

Excellent hotel - very friendly - lots of help - great breakfast . Very well situated too and if you are lucky (and we were for 3 days out of 4) a private parking spot in front. Choose it

Great stay at a great hotel. My wife and I just returned from our trip to Siracusa and had the pleasure of staying at Hotel Cavalieri. We absolutely loved the hotel, our room and most of all the owners. The location is ideal for sightseeing Ortigia, only 3 short blocks, but also for day excursions to Ragusa, Modica & Noto. Getting on and off Ortigia with a car can be a bit of nuisance that is one of the reasons why we chose this location.
This family run establishment goes above and beyond to accommodate their guests. The husband and wife owners, Gian Luca and Maria, along with Gian Luca's mom Enza, were awesome hosts. All they wanted for us & their guests was for all to be happy not only with their hotel but with Sicily as well. Their recommendations were all perfect. This made our stay so much more enjoyable. The buffett breakfast was robust with many different choices along with a most helpful staff of waitresses. Thank you Hotel Cavalieri for your warmth, friendship and making our stay in Siracusa and Sicily memorable and enjoyable. Continued success.
Nick and Blythe.

Stylish family hotel with charming staff. I am a 47 year old GP and travelled to Siracusa for an International Argentinian Tango Festival. Excellent hotel, very beautifully renovated, just a short walk from Ortigia, the beautiful area of Siracusa. Good bed, nice room, nice bathroom, very good breakfast with superb fresh orange juice and other fresh fruit. Very friendly owner couple and lovely other staff. Stylish mix of modern and classic - really liked it.

Ich haben meinen zweiten Aufenthalt in Syrakus im Hotel Cavalieri sehr genossen. Die Lage ist genial - in wenigen Minuten erreicht man zu Fuß alle Sehenswürdigkeiten. Die Ausstattung der Zimmer ist genial und sehr geschmacksvoll. Das Team an der Rezeption kennt sich hervorragend aus, jeder war immer freundlich und gerne bereit besondere Tipps über Sightseeing, Shopping, Essen etc. zu geben.

A charming, elegant hotel in a great location. We had a short break in Syracuse and chose the hotel after reading the reviews. Like others we found the owners very helpful and attentive, the room very comfortable, and the breakfasts varied and delicious - with a Sicilian emphasis on cakes - as well as fresh orange juice. A problem with our room on the first night was dealt with immediately it was drawn to the attention of the owner and entirely to our satisfaction. The free wi-fi included in our deal with the hotel was very useful - especially when trying to keep updated about the likley impact of the BA strike on our journey home!

Curato in tutti i dettagli. Ottima la posizione, a due passi da Ortigia, parcheggio gratuito davanti all'albergo, cortesia squisita alla reception, che ci fornito ottimi suggerimenti e piante della città. Camera moderna (la nostra, la 22, dava sul patio interno, silenziosissima) e pulizia in tutti gli ambienti, giornali a disposizione dal mattino, colazione ottima e curatissima, di alta qualità.

Indimenticabile! Ho passato con la mia famiglia un weekend a Siracusa e abbiamo soggiornato in questo delizioso hotel. E' stato semplicemente indimenticabile! A cominciare dalle camere: spaziose, arredato con un gusto veramente fine e sobrio. La prima colazione era ricca e varia con spremuta fresca di arance, dolci fatti in casa,.. E sopratutto i proprietari erano di una cordialità indimenticabile! Hotel Cavalieri è da consigliare!

Smart Townhouse. The Hotel Cavalieri is a very smart and comfortable townhouse in Siracusa. I was on a business trip and stayed at Hotel Cavalieri just for one night, but it was enough to have a very comfortable impression of the hotel room and the hosts. The breakfast was excellent with fresh sicilian orange juice. The location is very convenient in case you are travelling by car.

Todo ha estado al más alto nivel. La cortesía y cordialidad en el trato de los propietarios son sencillamente exquisitas. Las habitaciones son cómodas y están bien iluminadas. La elegante mezcla de mobiliario moderno y antigüedades en la decoración de las zonas comunes es un verdadero acierto. Buen desayuno en agradable comedor con fondo de suave música de jazz. Ubicación muy conveniente.

Ausserst herzliche, hoefliche und professionelle Gaestebetreuung. Ich hatte ein ruhiges, mit sehr gutem Geschmack modern eingerichtetes Zimmer. Die Gastgeberfamilie gab mir nuetzliche Tipps bezueglich Restaurants und syrakusanische Besonderheiten. Ausgezeichnetes Fruehstuecksbuffet mit hausgemachten und wunderbaren Leckereien. Frischgepresster sizilianischer Orangensaft! (Habe ich in keinem anderen Hotel bekommen!)

The Best in Sicily. I did a trip round Italy and stayed for a couple of days in Siracusa. Wonderful place and great Hotel. Very nice and stylish and calm room. The hosts and their son Gianluca were very helpful giving us useful tips of local places and restaurants. Delightful breakfast with homemade cakes. The style of the hotel is between classic and modern, very charming. Hope to come back soon!

Charme et elegance. Nous avons séjourné 9 nuits dans la suite de cet hôtel. Un accueil de bon aloi, beaucoup d'attention, des rapports sympathiques avec la famille qui tient cet hôtel. Un très beau buffet pour le petit déjeuner, de bons conseils pour les visites et beaucoup de prévenance pour faciliter votre séjour. Et ce qui ne gate rien l'hôtel est bien situé juste à l'entrée de l'ile d'Ortigiaou se trouvent la plus grande partie des restaurants. La restauration du bâtiment à été faites avec beaucoup de goût et cela donne beaucoup de charme à cet hôtel. Nous en garderons un très beau et bon souvenir.

Cordiale ospitalità siciliana in un'atmosfera di raffinatezza e di sobria eleganza. L' hotel Cavalieri ha i suoi punti di forza nell'atmosfera di cordiale ospitalità dei proprietari (mai eccessiva) e di eleganza sobria e misurata caratterizzata da una grande cura del dettaglio. La stanza era pulitissima e ben arredata, ottima la colazione sia nei contenuti (gustosi dolci di grande varietà), che nella forma (servizi da tavola che difficilmente si vedono in un hotel 4 stelle). La posizione sul territorio è ottima.

smart luxury hotel. Our friends suggested us this small hotel in Syracuse, and we were not disappointed. The hosts are very kind and helpful, suggesting us excellent nearby places to visit and the best restaurants. The room was very nice with classy furnitures. The breakfast was excellent with a lot of choices. They were even so kind and anticipating us some cash since our lagguage has been lost at Catania airport. Really very kind people and a very nice place to stay.

15 December 2009, Muenchen, Germany, Tripadvisor Einmalig!Ich kann das Hotel Cavalieri nur weiterempfehlen! Einmalige Lage: zwischen dem archaelogischen Park Neapolis und der bezaubernden Altstadtinsel Ortigia. Die Gastgeberfamilie war aeusserst freundlich und gab uns wertvolle Tipps ueber Restaurants und interessante Sehenswuerdigkeiten. Sie waren sogar so aufmerksam, dass wir einen Parkplatz direkt vor dem Hotel hatten. Auch das Fruehstueck, nur vom Besten: hausgemachte Kuchen, Cornflakes, Muesli, einen Super-Cappuccino!

Un posto perfetto per un soggiorno a Siracusa. Abbiamo trovato l'albergo senza problemi e il proprietario affascinante trasferito la sua auto così abbiamo potuto parcheggiare proprio davanti all'hotel. Tutto era immacolata, la camera era confortevole e tranquilla e le colazioni erano meraviglioso. L'arredamento è elegante e moderno e attenzione pensato. Ci aspettavamo un e-mail importante e chiesto loro di stampare e contatto con noi, che hanno fatto non appena arrivati. Ci hanno dato ottimi consigli per posti per mangiare, e i proprietari non avrebbe potuto essere più dolce o migliore. Mentre l'hotel è su una strada principale, avevamo una camera tranquilla si affacciano sul cortile interno, quindi ho sentito alcun rumore. Ci tornerei sicuramente se dovessi tornare a Siracusa.

Hotel Cavalieri di Siracusa vicino al centro storico di ortigia e al parco archeologico. Io e mia moglie siamo stati una sola notte all'Hotel Cavalieri ma e' stata sufficiente per apprezzarne la posizione strategica (a piedi sono raggiungibili in 10 minuti lo splendido centro storico di Ortigia e in circa 20-25 minuti il parco archeologic con il magnifico teatro greco). Le camere sono moderne ma "calde" confortevoli e molto pulite. La colazione e' superlativa con dolci di manifattura artigianale e "vera" spremuta di arance.

A great welcome to Siracusa. The staff at Cavalieri were very friendly and helpful. The owner welcomed us with a drink (a kind of green mandarin juice, delicious!) made from fruit grown on his family's orchards. Nice if compact room in a lovely building. Close to Ortigia. Breakfasts were good: buffet of cereals, juices, pastries, cold meats and excellent coffee, of course. Owner recommended 2 excellent restaurants to us (Don Camillo was one, can't remember the other) and told us of others best-avoided. Siracusa is a beautiful town, well worth a visit. Food was excellent. Really enjoyed our stay there.

Different Trip. We didn't aspect that much from this trip, as soon as we spend there the first day we realized that Syracuse it a special, different place, the people, the landscape and the way of life it's great. You can find culture, pleasure and a relaxing and friendly atmosphere, especially the Hotel Cavalieri, it's was a beautiful and a really nice place with friendly people and an excellent service. I really suggest a trip in Syracuse if you are looking for a different travel experience.

Home away from home, luxurious & friendly. We stayed at the Hotel Cavalieri for 4 days and had an absoultely wonderful stay. The Management & staff were very friendly, welcoming & accommodating. They enjoy what they do which shows in how they do it.
Our room was well appointed, spacious & very comfortable.
The breakfasts were fantastic with a great variety of foods to choose from.
Finding the Hotel was a little difficult due to the Italian numbering system and the facade is not a typical Hotel facade but walk through the front door and you won't be dissappointed.
We intend returning to Sicily in 2012 and intend to use Hotel Cavalieri as our home in Sicily.

Hip and stylish. This is a very hip and stylish hotel conveniently located a few blocks from Ortygia. Upon entering the doors, you enter an oasis of calm and refinement of all white. The proprietors are very professional yet welcoming. Our room was large with an equally large bathroom (shower only). Bed was comfortable and a real double with comfortable linens and pillows. There is free Wi-Fi access (you need to request access). We had a car and were quite pleased that we were allowed to keep it parked out front in one of the two spaces reserved for the hotel, otherwise we would have had to find a spot or move it to a nearby carpark. Breakfast was standard with a variety of cakes and bread along with the standard meat/cheese, cereal and packaged yogurt. Toast is made on request. Eggs would have been a nice addition.
Suggestions: There is a hip jazz bar (Oz Jazz Club) located off the Piazza del Duomo, which is the main piazza in front of the cathedral, that serves great drinks and also has apperitivo - the only place we found in our travels thru Sicily that had apperitivo.

One word summary: gorgeous. In a single word, the Hotel Cavalieri is quite simply gorgeous. The proprietor's good taste and background as an architect are clearly evident in the exquisite blend of antiques and contemporary furnishings in the public areas. The large bedroom and bathroom represented modern taste at its best. Speaking of taste: the breakfast was ample, and featured some lovely cakes baked by the proprietor's mother.
The location is excellent, just a couple of minutes' stroll from the old city. Although the hotel has no parking, we had no problem in finding free parking (the white squares) in the surrounding streets during our 3-day stay. Last but not least, the friendly and helpful staff (mainly the proprietor and his family) helped make this hotel a place to enjoy staying in - and one we would happily to return to.

Hotel Cavalieri is a fantastic place to stay! There you do not feel like being in one of those unpersonnal hotels. There are just a few rooms and the owners of the hotel are taking very good care of their gests. The staff is very polite and discreet. The quality is excellent. The rooms are beautiful, stylish and clean (exactly like in the photos that are shown on the website). This hotel is also next to Ortigia (the small island at the end of Siracusa (Syracuse) and best part of Siracusa (Syracuse)) where you find excellent restaurants, tea rooms, shops. I do not think that there are many hotels like this one in the world. I hope that this hotel will continue to have nice gests so that this place will stay as unique as it is now!

Gerne möchten wir Ihnen und Ihrem Mann - nachdem wir nun wieder zurück sind aus Sizilien - nochmals ein, Kränzlein winden. Der Ausbau Ihres Hotels ist wirklich sehr schön und alle Details, bis hin zum Frühstücksbuffet, mit ausgesprochenem Geschmack und viel Liebe umgesetzt!
Eine Augenweide, für die ich gerne auch Werbung bei meinen Schweizer Freunden machen werde.
Bei unserer Reise über Ragusa, Agrigento, Selinunte, Palermo, mit Abstecher nach San Vito lo Capo, und wieder an die Ostküste zurück nach Taormina ist uns auch viel Banales und Liebloses begegnet!
Wir grüssen Sie herzlich aus dem inzwischen recht herbstlichen Basel und wünschen Ihnen für die Zukunft alles Gute.

Exceeded expectations in every way. Comfortable, stylish, spacious and spotless. A great value; this hotel MADE our 3 days in Syracusa. Great breakfast, impeccable service. Two minute stroll into the Ortygia. Linens, china, flatware, furnishings and ambience all of the highest quality. Comfortable bed and double-paned windows for restful nights. Gianlucca and his staff went out of their ways to assure that we were well-informed about the local history, restaurants and sightseeing. A pleasure in every way and much more than we had expected! Complimenti, Hotel Cavalieri!

Great place to stay - hidden gem. All the staff were very friendly & nothing was too much trouble. On arrival we were made to feel very welcome & were given details of local attractions, places to eat, places to see outside the city & general information about Siracusa (Syracuse).
The hotel was clean & airy & our room was spacious & well appointed. A large bed ensured a good night's sleep. The hotel is in an excellent location with Ortygia just a 2 minute stroll away. The Greek theatre on the other side of town is also only a leisurely 30 minute walk away.
Excellent breakfast with plenty of choice.
A very enjoyable experience & many thanks to all who made us so welcome.

Wonderful. I agree with the previous reviewer. Just book it. The owners are a lovely family who really care about their hotel and how to make your experience a nice one. We liked it so much, we came back for 2 more nights. It was without a doubt the best place we stayed on our entire trip--both town and hotel.

Just book it. A snazzily refurbished boutique hotel that wouldn't be out of place in Soho -- except the guest rooms in NYC wouldn't be nearly as spacious! Airy, bright, light-filled common spaces and rooms. Classy appointments and furniture.
A fine complimentary breakfast. Great location, a quick stroll into the old town of Syracusa, a fascinating blend of old and new. A very friendly and accommodating staff that recommended a restaurant for dinner that wound up giving us one of the most delightful and delicious meals we've ever had.
And we got an unexpected bonus: upon entering our room, I could hear birds chirping. How nice, I thought. When I heard them again hours later, and walked onto the balcony to investigate, I discovered they were parakeets caged in an apartment across the alley. Sweet cheeps!

Lovely hotel with incredible hospitality. We stayed at the lovely Hotel Cavalieri for several days with our two daughters, (five and seven years old). Not a day goes by where my five year old doesn't talk about Siracusa (Syracuse), the wonderful hotel and the incredibly hospitable owners.
First of all, the architectural renovations were well thought out. It was so modern and clean, while still managing to preserve its rich history. The beds were comfortable, the breakfast was delicious, but most important, the staff was outstanding. From the owners of the hotel, right down to the maid service, everyone was so accommodating.
I would especially like to make special mention of Mr. and Mrs. LoManto and the kind night manager, (sweet young man whose name escapes me). Mr. and Mrs. LoManto are such sweet and kind people. They gave us great recommendations as to where to eat, directions and wonderful sights to see in and outside of the city. They were so cute with my kids. Their faces just lit up when they saw our children and my children just adored them. They spoiled them every morning with hot chocolate and candy. We spoke with them everyday and really enjoyed our conversations and listening to their experiences. Mr. LoManto gave my daughter a little toy that she loves and talks about it all the time. The night manager was also so kind, pleasant and went out of his way to help us. We will always remember their beautiful hotel and all of the lovely people that ran it with such pride. I WANT TO GO BACK!!!!!

Un hôtel de charme! Je recommande fortement l'hôtel Cavalieri. Mon séjour de deux nuits a été très agréable. La chambre était très belle, confortable et grande douche. La climatisation très efficace (avec un contrôle dans la chambre). Les propriétaires de l'établissement ont été très aimables. Salle magnifique pour le petit déjeuner avec une belle présentation du buffet, très belle vaisselle blanche et belle coutellerie. Le hall d'entrée est très imposant. Décoration et architecture exceptionnelles. L'un des meilleurs hôtels de tous mes séjours à l'étranger. Le prix de la nuitée est très abordable. Merci aux propriétaires pour cette belle hospitalité car je garderai un très beau souvenir. Très bien situé, vous pouvez tout explorer à pieds : 5 minutes d'Ortigia et à 20 minutes des sites archéologiques.

l'hôtellerie comme on l'aime. bel hotel décoré avec goût, très bien situé, 50 mètres du pont avant d'entrer sur l'ïle d'Ortygie... un couple charmant vous accueille avec une gentillesse totale et une attention de tous les instants, vous offre à boire quand la chambre n'est pas prête de cinq minutes, vous conseille sur les bons restaurants de la ville. c'est calme alors que c'est sur une rue passante menant à Ortygie. Les photos de l'hotel correspondent aux photos d'aujourd'hui (cf voyage en aout 2009)....... nous avions pris une grande chambre avec deux enfants en mezzanine, chacun dans un lit séparé. Idéal, ils sont proches de vous et ont en même temps leur indépendance.

Non vedo l'ora di tornarci. Albergo stupendo, recentemente ristrutturato, con arredamento ricercato e curato nei minimi dettagli. E' localizzato in posizione strategica, a due passi da Ortigia. Ampia possibilità di parchieggio nelle vicinanze. Lo consiglio vivamente a tutti coloro che intendono soggiornare a Siracusa.

Spotless, roomy, modern. We were very impressed with this hotel as soon as we walked in the front door. The first thing we noticed was how bright and clean it is. Brilliant white walls with modern furniture without being cluttered or overdone.
The room was spotless and had two luggage racks instead of the normal one we've seen in a lot of hotels which was a nice touch. Bathroom was clean and modern and shower was nice with decent pressure. The room felt as if we were the first to stay in it due to the overall cleanliness. The mini-bar prices were very reasonable and we ordered two bottles of wine to our room during our stay and they were both delicious, local wines without being over-expensive.
Situated about 200m from the bridge to Ortygia the Hotel was perfectly placed for us as we had a rental car. There is ample (free) parking in the streets outside and around the Hotel so we never had more than 30m to walk to from our car and most nights it was right outside in one of the reserved spaces.
The breakfast selection was excellent with a range of filled croissants, cereals, fresh fruit, breads, juices, yoghurts and other pastries so not shortage of choice. The fresh coffee was also excellent.
All staff were friendly and helpful - specifically the man who occupied reception during evenings/night-times. Very friendly and genuine. Considering the cost of our stay I couldn't recommend this Hotel and Siracusa (Syracuse)/Ortygia enough. Siracusa (Syracuse)offers a fantastic base to explore south eastern Sicily and this hotel, with it's ample parking and easy accessibility when driving into and out of Siracusa (Syracuse), is ideal for that purpose while also offering perfect location to explore Ortygia. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

A Class act in every respect. I echo everything said by the reviewer below. This is an elegant hotel run by elegant people. It is immaculate, beautiful and well-situated. It provides a delicious full breakfast on beautiful china. My group took six rooms and each one was spotless and lovely. The taste reflected in the furnishings and fixtures is superb. This is a classy place.

Elegant and friendly. We choose this hotel because of the positive reviews on Trip Adviser and found it matched and even exceeded our expectations. The family who own it were so helpful and friendly that even if it hadn't been beautifully modern and chic it would have been a pleasure to stay there. In fact it was so beautifully designed it was a pleasure to return to every day. The home made cakes and dreamy danish pastries included in the breakfast buffet were to die for. The hotel is a 5 min stroll across the bridge from Ortigiabut this means it is in walking distance of the archeological sites of Siracuse. The room we had was small but lovely, the bathroom was a bit too small but then the hotel has been coverted from a historic house so not a lot of room to play with. This is not the place to stay if you want airport hotel style but if you want a beautiful cool and stylish small hotel, conveniently located and with some of the nicest people you could find running a hotel this is the one. And they are planning to add a roof terrace/solarium some time soon to make it absolutely perfect. We stayed in Siracusa for a week in May and fell in love with the town. The amazing Duomo square, the archeology and sense of history, the small streets in Ortiga and the relaxed feel of the newer town. In spite of the large number of tourists buses that arrive every day the town hasn't turned into a Tourist trap. Do make the effort to go to the quarry at the top if the town which is now a garden.

Curato in ogni dettaglio. Hotel elegante e curato in ogni dettaglio. Molto bello l'arredamento. Ottima la pulizia delle camere, fornite di ogni comfort. Colazione ricca e soddisfacente. Ambiente tranquillo e silenzioso. Disponibilità e cortesia del personale. Posizione ottimale per visitare a piedi tutte le più importanti attrazioni della città, dall'isola di Ortigia alla Neapolis, e per muoversi con treno e bus (stazione a pochi minuti a piedi). Insomma davvero ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo!

This was one of the best boutique hotels we've ever used. Every feature of the hotel, right down to the light fittings and shampoo bottles, was about quality and good Italian design. The hotel staff couldn't be more helpful and went out of their way to help with maps, directions and suggestions. The hotel was a few minutes walk from Ortigia, there were some good bars and restaurants nearby and the breakfast was one of the best we enjoyed in all of Italy.

An elegant oasis of calm in bustling Siracusa. In the centre of Siracusa, just 2 minutes walk to the island of Ortigia, this is a small boutique hotel owned and run by Gianluca and his parents. Gianluca is an architect and he designed and converted this wonderfully elegant hotel from a run down and derelict building. You can be sure of a warm welcome here, nothing is too much trouble for your hosts. Step in through the door from a busy street and all is tranquil inside. The centre of the building is a light filled atrium filled with antique and italian designer furniture. Our bedroom was beautifully furnished, elegant, uncluttered and modern. All the furniture had been designed by Gianluca and manufactured specially for the hotel. Free parking is available either outside the hotel or nearby; we parked up for 3 days and walked everywhere.

A Real Find! The Hotel Cavalieri is a real find. It's a new, very well designed modern hotel in an antique building - gorgeous. Great attention to detail is paid in all respects from comfort and cleanliness through to a wide variety of choices from the extravagant breakfast buffet. Moreover, the design is practical as well as spectacular. We had a spacious room overlooking the street and it was very quiet due to well-made windows and shutters. The hotel is perfectly located to visit all the sights on foot so we parked on the street (no problem during our visit) and set off to explore. The hotel has a few reserved parking spaces but we found one easily ourselves as we pulled up to the hotel. The owners are exceptionally hospitable and even took the time to show us some historical family portraits dotted around the hotel. Siracusa (Syracuse) deserves more than one visit and I will cetainly stay at the Hotel Cavalieri again. Highly recommended.

A small jewel in Siracusa. We just spent 3 wonderful days in Siracusa and really enjoyed our stay in this boutique hotel. The hotel is really beautiful. Nice design, modern and comfortable at the same time. Our guests made us feel at home, they took care of every little detail and made our stay really unforgettable. Our room was beautiful, the bed very very comfortable, the bathroom nicely decorated. The breakfast was delicious with home made pastry and nice china... We will surely come back to Siracusa and to Cavalieri hotel, one of the key addresses in Sicily!!

A fantastic time at the Hotel Cavalieri. We stayed at the Hotel Cavalieri in October for 4 nights. The hotel was tucked behind a grand door on a very busy street, but once you went through you were greeted with a very stylish and modern hotel. The bedroom was very modern, beautiful and pristine. The proprietor was extremely attentive with us, she gave us great advice and she always wished us each time we arrived back from our day out and when we went out in the evenings.
The Hotel Cavalieri is a short walk to the island of Ortigia and also not too far a walk to the Archaeological Park of Neapolis. Overall we had a great stay and would definitely recommend this hotel.

Wir waren im ersten Stock im Zimmer N. 10 untergebracht: ein geschmackvoll eingerichtetes Zimmer mit einem wunderschoenen antiken Haengeleuchter. Das dazugehoerige Bad war einfach perfekt in Sauberkeit und Bequemlichkeit (Boden und Waende sind mit Bisazza-Mosaiksteinen gepflastert).

Outstanding hotel in Siracusa. My wife and I stayed at Hotel Cavalieri in Siracusa, a hotel we can recommend very highly. We had planned to stay only two nights, however, we returned to stay for a total of six nights. The owners, Family LoManto, were exceptionally helpful and friendly. The breakfast is just amazing with delicious, home-made cakes and other delicacies. Although the hotel's website is very good, the photos do not do full justice to the beautiful interior design of the hotel. Gianluca, the son, is a trained architect and this is reflected in great attention to detail. The inner courtyard, the public living room and our room were simply gorgeous. The hotel has been totally refurbished to the highest standards one year ago. Siracusa is a remarkably beautiful city and a good base to discover the Southeast of Sicily with its other gems like Vendicari, Noto and Scicli.

"Everything you could ask for!" I agree with all of the other positive reviews, this is a great little hotel! We booked for 7 nights not really knowing anything about Sicily or the Siracusa (Syracuse) area but were made to feel really welcome. It's easy to tell the hotel is being run as a labour of love by a dedicated family group who have obviously invested a great deal of time, money and effort into making the Cavalieri the modern stylish boutique hotel it is today.
Our room and the communal areas were spotless, the air conditioning coming in very handy - even in September Sicily can be hot, hot, hot!
After arriving one of the family members spent some time explaining to us where the nearest beaches/sights/restaurants were, at the time of writing they have a deal with a few restaurants in Ortigia giving you 10% off the bill. This will come in handy as you plow through the mountains of delicious pizza, pasta, calzone, seafood and bottles of red wine!
Every other time we spoke to a member of staff they were courteous, polite and friendly. In summary I can wholly recommend this hotel. It is clean, modern, very stylish and the owners friendly, go!

Lovely family run hotel - definite recommendation. This very smart and sleek family run hotel is a great base if staying in Siracusa (Syracuse). The decor is modern, clean and comfortable. The family are very willing to help with recommendations on where to eat or what to visit. It is located only a 5 minute walk away from Ortigia which is the area to visit. It's is also within walkable distance from the Greek Theatre although on a hot day it's probably best to get a bus. Also if you are arriving in Siracusa (Syracuse) by bus/train the hotel is within walking distance of the station. There is a very good continental breakfast offered in the mornings and everything was always replenished if running low.

Wir haben die entspannende Atmosphäre des Hotels, die Gastfreundschaft der Besitzerfamilie, das mit viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtete Zimmer und natürlich das tolle Frühstück sehr genossen. Gutes Preis- Leistungsverhältnis - hier bekommt man auf jeden Fall viel mehr als man erwartet.

"Loved Cavalieri!" We highly recommend the Cavalieri. It is just minutes outside of Ortigia. The owners, Signora/Signore LoManto were delightful, warm and welcoming. My wife speaks Italian, and that helped quite a bit. Their son Gianluca and his fiance Maria were great fun and attentive.
If you can, stay in the Suite. The hotel is very modern, and was completely redone by the LoManto family, whose son is an architect. Breakfast was the best of all the hotels we stayed at. The family was gracious. We can't say enough about this hotel.
The day we departed, Gianluca hopped on his motorcycle to guide us to the autostrada.
Only downside for some might be that it is not right in Ortigia (but only 5 minutes away), and parking is difficult.
By all means, eat at Ristorante Don Camillo and say hello to Giovanni and his charming wife. He previously visited us in California, and was very gracious when we stopped at his restaurant. Food is wonderful. Service very nice.

"Un hôtel très bien situé et une rénovation réussie" L'hôtel est très proche de la presqu'île d'Ortigie, le plus joli coin de Siracusa (Syracuse). Dans un bâtiment ancien, l'architecte a crée un espace moderne d'intention minimaliste très réussi. La chambre était un peu petite, la salle de bains confortable, le mobilier trop simple par rapport aux parties communes très bien meublées. L'accueil et le service sont irréprochables: chaleureux, attentifs. Une bonne adresse où loger à Siracusa (Syracuse), pour un séjour bref de préférence du fait de la taille faible de la chambre.

"Style meets friendliness and service" Searching for a place to stay over in Siracusa we coincidentally discovered this small, but fine boutique hotel. Obviously we were intriqued by the photos and were in no ways disappointed. In every corner, in every room or part of the hotel you can sense the vision and the love of the owners to create a place that is unique, clear in design yet never forgetting the history of this fine old building. The service of the owners (actually I would love to say hosts) expands beyond the expected. This is not just friendliness for the means of it. Here you discover friendliness that comes from deep with in. By the way English is extremely well spoken. Not the standard in Sicily. And may I also add another aspect so not typical for many Italian hotels (even of this high ranking): here breakfast really means breakfast. Just a nice feeling to wake up in the morning with a nice espresso or cappucino and a delicious selection of tasty alternatives. Finally the location - in town but literally at the gate to Ortigia - makes this a very convenient place to stay. Highly recommendable.

Wir waren erstaunt ein Hotel dieser Qualität zu diesem Preis in Siracusa zu finden. Das Hotel schaut von aussen ein wenig nach einem alten Stadthotel aus. Es liegt an der Via Malta, einer der historischen Hauptstrassen von Siracusa. Von dem Hotel aus erreicht man in nur 5 Minuten die liebevoll restaurierte Altstadt, mit der Riva und vielen sehr guten Restaurants. Tortzdem ist sogar Parken in unmittelbarer Nähe des Hotels kein Problem! Das Hotel an sich kann man wohl kaum besser beschreiben als einfach nur geschmackvoll bis ins allerkleinste Detail. Es ist mit unglaublich viel Liebe eingerichtet und die Hoteliers vermittelten einem das Gefühl bei guten Freunden zu übernachten. Wir haben uns dort mehr als wohlgefühlt und möchten dieses Hotel daher auch allen Reisenden mit Sinn für Stil, Eleganz und Freundlichkeit wärmstens ans Herz legen.
