Palazzo Artemide - VRetreats

We had a wonderful stay at the hotel for 5 nights. The location of the hotel was second to none, a few steps from piazza del Duomo. The room was very comfortable and well appointed. The cleaning staff did fabulous job and were very accomodating. The breakfast was superb. I had a rental car and used their valet service to park and retrieve the car. Every single staff member was curteous and pleasant. Had dinner at the restaurant one evening and had a fantastic meal. The chef is exceptional.

Luxurious breakfasts. Room quiet despite being on main square. Loved the location in the heart of Ortigia, and easy walk to everything.

Beautifully renovated hotel with welcoming staff. Wonderful dining room with vaulted ceilings. Great choice of food for breakfast, with attentive, friendly staff circulating around. The dinner menu was a little too limited for us and we ate elsewhere in the evening. Our room was on the third floor and we had absolutely no problems with noise from outside. The bed was enormous and very comfortable. The coffee machine in the room was a very welcome feature. Our only negative would be that the bathroom didn't offer anywhere suitable to dry large towels - just two single pegs on the wall, which meant that, having showered in the evening, they were still damp when we came to use them in the morning, as they had just hung in folds from the pegs. A couple of long towel rails, one at higher level and one below at a lower level, would have solved the problem. Oh, and also no hair conditioner. Having looked at other reviews, apparently I could perhaps have requested some but it would have been nice to have it there ready. There were all sorts of other beauty products, such as beard balm and cleanser, so no hair conditioner seemed a bit of an odd omission. The location is excellent, just steps away from Piazza Duomo. The cathedral took our breath away, and there's so much stunning architecture everywhere you look. A very memorable two-night stay for us in Ortigia.

The location was the best. The staff was excellent. The rooms were large and comfortable, breakfast was lovely.

High quality hotel - modern and comfortable- superb bed and excellent bedding. Me and my wife felt really good. The robes and towels were excellent as was the bathroom and toiletries and really 5 star experience. Staff were always on hand and helpful. Check in experience was brilliant.
