Charme Hotel Henry's House

Beautiful property. Perfect location. Outstanding service. Comfortable bed.

wonderful location. Attentive staff. Amazing breakfast. I can’t say enough great things about this place.

This is an hotel full of character and style with brilliant service from truly excellent staff. Our room was large, very comfortable and clean with A/C and an excellent shower which was greatly appreciated. The hotel was everything we hoped for and more besides and the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff cannot be overstated. We enjoyed excellent breakfast on the terrace overlooking the bay and under a sumptuous grapevine. We returned frequently to the terrace for afternoon beers after having been out early to explore before the hottest part of the day. We then went out again for an evening exploration and dinner. The sunsets are beautiful. The location of the hotel on Ortega itself is fabulous and you are totally spoilt for choice of restaurants, cafes, bars, market and gelato shops with everything in walking distance We had a truly wonderful week and the unique nature of the hotel and its lovely staff greatly contributed to making it a memorable and enjoyable trip for us

What a great stay at the Charme. Staff were wonderful the hotel is beautiful the room excellent and the terrace is a wonderful place to just sit and look over the sea. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. Will definitely stay here again

Beautiful historic building. Great staff and location. An oasis

Host were very welcoming and friendly. Rooms were comfortable and clean. The terrace is a hidden jewel.

Wonderful service and beautiful location. Would come back again to this dreamy place

Staff friendly and professional. Breakfast good. Room tight- bathroom and shower small- not ultra comfortable.

Beautiful and very unique with its dining terrace and bountiful breakfast overlooking the bay. Close to numerous waterfront restaurants, shopping and historical attractions, like the nearby fort. The only drawback was parking.

No parking.

Amazing location Very friendly helpful staff Accommodations great Food , service spot on Highly recommend and I would definitely return.

Wonderful place to stay!

Charming small hotel right on the water, extremely friendly and helpful staff. Sundowners on the patio overlooking the water was magical. All in all a great stay

Our stay was perfect. We came for our honeymoon and the service, location, and customer service was impeccable. The staff anticipate your every need, super helpful and friendly, professional, and outstanding. The food at breakfast was delicious and the hotel itself feels so boutique yet polished. Will definitely tell everyone about this hotel and will stay here again! Best holiday we’ve ever been on. Grazie ancora!

An all round good experience. Should have stayed longer. Friendly helpful staff from the kitchen to the front desk. A little gem of a hotel in a great location

Truly a unique hotel in gorgeous Ortigia, Syracuse. From the welcoming Francesca to the breakfast menu, the experience makes you want to come back.

Really charming, old property, tastefully furnished, lovely, polite and helpful staff. Very good breakfast and good and reliable ideas for eating out. The only negative was the very expensive valet car parking at €30 per night.

The proprietor and staff were very warm and helpful. The breakfasts were wonderful. The suite was comfortable and clean, and the shower was great with strong water pressure.

A charming beautiful quirky hotel with the best service! Wonderful balcony view.

Breakfast was very nice.

The staff was extremely friendly and helpful.

Amazing, eclectic, hotel. The photos do not do it justice. Friendly, helpful, staff. The breakfast was delicious with a lot of variety. Everything about this place will make you feel special.

beautiful sunset view from the patio

The best possible location and interesting vibe to the hotel but the staff made the stay unforgettable!

Fabulous location. Wonderful hosts. Great breakfast. Many beautiful walks both along the Mediterranean and in the main squares. Highly recommended.

Location

Perfectly located! Great views and convenient to all of Taormina.

The staff was very friendly and helpful in providing sites to see and places to eat. Since there’s limited driving in the area they try as much as possible to arrange parking and transportation. The room and hotel is very unique with art and architecture. They provided a great bottle of red wine for being a VIP on Expedia. They also provided free cocktails for us once during our stay and free drinks from the room refrigerator. Breakfast was delicious. The only con was that the shower was small but I guess that is typical with a historic building. The terraces overlooking the water were fantastic. Ortigia is one of best cities to see in Sicily and Henry’sHotel is the place to stay.

Old building (to be expected in Ortygia) remodeled many, many years ago. Pros: staff friendly (with one exception, below) and on-site 24x7. Showers fully enclosed & work well. Beds OK. Excellent breakfast including custom coffee service. Beautiful patio overlooking the bay, with grape arbor and drink service. Great location near southern tip of the island. Cons: If you drive, valet service drives your car to mainland and needs 1 hour notice to bring it back. Rooms are small. "Art collection" consists mainly of crudely colored paintings featuring women with their chests exposed in various contorted poses. PROBLEM: There was a really bad smell in the bathroom. Staff said this was a new problem, and it never happened before. Manager said that the smell is due to the water system in Ortygia and is there all the time. When we complained, he moved us to a smaller room and got testy about compensation.

My wife and I had the most magical time at the Henry Hotel. It’s truly a quaint beautiful place with welcoming staff and breathtaking views. We will definitely be back! I can’t recommend this hotel enough.

Charm Henry Hotel is a quirky fun place. Beautifully renovated seventeenth century building with modern art thrown in with traditional decor. And it works! Very tastefully done. The outdoor teraced balcony has a great view of the harbor and breakfast is served under the grapevines. Really beautiful. The hotel is also in an excellent location.

A charming hotel with a stunning view, in a great location. The staff are wonderful and the breakfast is delicious!

Wonderful stay. Staff were super helpful with parking, dining reservations, walking tours, etc.

the staff was wonderful, they made us feel welcome without being pretentious. The property was spotless and the complementary breakfast was outstanding. Very funky the living room made us feel like we were having a cocktail at my sicilian grandmothers home on holidays. As the son of a sicilian immigrant and raised in a traditional home I know the real thing. A.R. Lumia

Advertized private car park. It is public parking over a mile away. Valet needs an hour notice and a reservation. Ceilings were low and rooms dark. Stairs are steep.lovely view of sea. Very noisy.

Convenient walking distance to historic sites, seaside restaurants and shops. All of the staff was friendly and helpful.

Located at the tip of the island. Rooms are comfortable with quirky charm. Parking is a problem and don’t count on getting your car within an hour as advertised. This isn’t a luxury hotel nor is it accommodating to disabled visitors.

Quirky charm, located in a very congested area, parking is a challenge

This property is wonderfully situated near the tip of Ortigia overlooking the water in the back. Easy walk to restaurants and shopping. The property lives up to it's name - full of character and quirky spaces - indoors and on the multiple terraces. The breakfast was very good. Driving guests need to use the valet service which requires an hour lead time to access the car. But that wasn't an issue for us. We really liked this place.

Great location in Ortigia. Beautiful terrace for breakfast (which had a really big variety to choose from) or just to relax on. Quite quirky and old so won't be up your street if you don't want character but if you're ok with that and it being less modern you will love it! Staff were also super friendly.

Building full of character, beautiful situation by the sea, comfortable beds, lovely breakfast, helpful and friendly staff

What a lovely and characterful hotel with super friendly staff and in such a perfect location on Ortigia just seconds from the castle. Great view from the rooms and the terraces

It had a very good breakfast, which one could enjoy on the terrace overlooking the water. Nice venue and excellent food of a wide variety

super beautiful and charming hotel in Siracusa. the staff was really friendly and helpful--they booked an early taxi to take us to the airport and made coffee for us as we waited. it has a good breakfast included and it is in a good location for exploring Ortigia.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Excellent breakfast. Super location ( not pedestrian) easy for taxi to pick up and drop off

The location is unbeatable, almost at the bottom of the island of Ortigia but within 20 minutes walk of central Syracuse. The staff are among the most welcoming and helpful I've ever met, with excellent recommendations for places to visit and eat. A real hideaway holiday!

The Charme Henry house hotel is an old hotel and rustic. It’s the staff that makes this hotel work. Warm and enthusiastic, they go out of their way to accommodate their guests. The breakfast selection is superb. Yes I would stay here again. Keep in mind the street side is noisy. Recommend you use their valet service, driving in Ortigia is bad enough, parking is problematic.

We stayed 2 nights and absolutely loved this gem of a hotel. Francisco in Reception was very knowledgeable and helpful, arranging our off-site parking and telling us about Ortigia. The breakfasts were great and the location of the hotel is wonderfully convenient. The breakfast terrace overlooks the bay and the quiet murmur of people strolling up and down the street is nice to hear, as it has a cheerful vibe. Very highly recommended.

It is indeed a charming place - a relief from the Americanized European hotel. It's in a great location and the included breakfast is very good. We had a great view, but outside stairs to our floor went right past our window!

The two Francescas at the reception desk are gems So kind and helpful It’s been a long time since I’ve had such courteous, friendly and terrific service at a hotel Please stay here You’ll be happy you did!

This is a charming and unique hotel in Otigia. Very well located for dining and shopping. Excellent breakfast - terrace with grapevines overlooking the bay. Parking was pricey $30E per night. Can be noisy weekend evenings.

The hotel was in a super location ideally situated for sightseeing. The staff were excellent couldn't do enough for you.

Great place. Location. Great service. Amazing people. Great breakfast. Amazing patio on the water. So nice. We loved it. Managed very well. They always ready to help.

Beautiful, classy look; gorgeous view from room window over the sea; great breakfast with nice area under trellis to eat; excellent service and help from hotel staff, particularly in arranging valet parking.

We would highly recommend this hotel, it is quirky and unique, the staff are attentive and helpful, it is ideally located for sightseeing around Ortigia, the breakfast is fantastic also, we will return again to Henry’s house

This is a beautiful hotel in a superb location.

Staff was friendly and hotel has a beautiful view. The rooms were a bit dark but I understand it's the style.

One of the most eccentric and beautiful places i have stayed. I believe it was Francesca and her colleague who gave us amazing service from checking in to check out. They offered secure parking with Silvio who was also a delight. It was such a special room with stunning views. Ortigia and this hotel were the highlight of my trip to Sicily. They gave fantastic recommendations. If I ever return to Ortigia, I will no doubt stay here and stay longer. The BEST!

We loved it! Definitely stat here for amazing services and ocean views! What a place

Cool quirky, not your standard hotel. We loved it! Location and room views of sea were unbeatable.

Great location and the staff was lovely. Room was quite small and the shower was tiny. It's an old, quirky property so you shouldn't expect it to be more than that. For the amount of pedestrian and auto activity it's very quiet and the terraces are very nice.

The beautiful terraces and common spaces were lovely. The breakfast was really good.

Great location, loads of character - fantastic breakfast!

Service and Breakfast is Excelent! The bathroom is small and it’s necessary 1 hour to make a reservation for valet parking.

Terrific!

Unique and charming property in fabulous location. Friendly helpful staff, excellent breakfast, gorgeous terrace with wonderful view for enjoying glass of wine, coffee, conversation. Easy valet parking in limited traffic zone and walking distance to nearly everything!

This was one of the sweetest, indeed most charming, places we’ve ever stayed. Great location, rooms, everything. Breakfast on the terrace, overhung with grapes, overlooking the Ionian Sea, was also a treat every morning.

We loved this little piece of Ortigia. The staff is delightful (and very helpful), the art is various and fun, the rooms are a nice size, the breakfast was terrific. We found the location easily and were able to walk everywhere. Thanks!

Great customer service, excellent staff!

Staf very Nice and helpful and fast . No extra charges

Fantastic boutique hotel! Staff was professional, friendly & very helpful! Room was full of personality & very comfortable. Breakfast was fresh, delicious & with an extraordinary ocean view. Thank you for a beautiful weekend!

This entire property is unique! Our stay in an ocean view room did not disappoint. We loved how welcoming and personable the staff were. Although we stayed only one night, we nearly changed our plans to stay longer because we enjoyed the experience so much. The breakfast is fantastic and the lounge area is perfect for a glass of wine at the end of the day. I will stay here next time I am in Syracuse.

Perfect place to get you in the mood to visit Siracusa - old traditional villa on the waterfront updated with a quirky collection of artwork and objects d’arte. Great use of the available space and our room has a lovely terrace with terrific views!

While a little tricky to find in Ortigia's narrow streets its beautiful when you find it. The staff are very friendly and extremely helpful. The rooms are individual, quirky and spotlessly clean. Everything in the mini fridge is complimentary. We were in room 311 and the view over the sea and sunset was to die for. The breakfast was fresh and everything you would expect from a continental breakfast. You could have the breakfast inside or on the terrace overlooking the sea, which we did because the weather was great for the middle of October. They arranged for a private car company to collect our car from the hotel and we would give them roughly an hour's notice for the car to be delivered to the hotel for use. There is only room for 1 car at the front of the hotel, which cannot be left there due to the narrowness of the road. The private firm charge 25 euros a day. The hotel supplies towels for the beach free of charge if required. The hotel lounge is lovely with a small bar, which we never used because we were out all day and there were mini cannolis are the reception desk for clients to pick at when passing. Fantastic quiet hotel - recommend it.

Amazing Hotel in every way possible. Terrific location and the entire staff was incredible.

Wonderful service and charming hotel. Good breakfast too.

Henry's House is brilliant. The breakfast is top-notch. The staff couldn't do enough for me. I loved the rooftop and first-floor terraces. The location is great - quiet but still close enough to everything in Ortigia. Book here - you won't be sorry!

Henry’s house hotel was wonderful - it has amazing eclectic furnishings and decor which gives you a genuine feeing of Italian tradition. With a beautiful vine covered terrace overlooking the sea where we sat to watch the sun setting each evening was just perfect. The staff are so welcoming and accommodating making you immediately feel at home, the breakfast is a delicious feast of fresh fruits, cereals, meats, cheeses, omelettes, bread etc and so well presented. We were so sorry to only be staying 3 nights and would certainly recommend this hotel if you are staying in Siracusa.

Street side room extremely noisy. Outdoor disco until 2 am on first night. Traffic all night. Did give us much better room second night. Poor breakfast. Nothing hot. Small bathrooms. Not worth the price.

Fabulous hotel with fabulous views and staff - thoroughly recommend

The staff is outstanding ! Francesco is amazing and knowledgeable The complimentary drinks are wonderful Our bed was rickety and made noise and shook everyone we moved The window has a v light curtain so the street light kept me awake The shower door was very difficult to open and close in room 415 Unfortunately we had only a standard room which was available when we booked Our friends had booked at the same time but they had a much better standard room So I guess our luck of the draw was bad ! So try and book early avioid room 415

Exceptional staff. Very helpful and cheerful. Charming rooms and decor.

Great staff, great hotel and location

Sabrina and team at Henry House were very welcoming and always went the extra mile with any requests. Breakfast was extensive and always fresh. We loved the ‘little extras’ like the free minibar, bicycle hire and evening aperitif. We enjoyed the location, the eclectic decor and the roof terrace. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Loved our stay there and would recommend to others as well as stay again

The staff were very friendly and super helpful, and the hotel was lovely and comfortable. We would definitely return.

Great location for this funkily charming hotel. The staff was incredibly nice, helpful, and accommodating.

The hotel was great. Perfect location. Our room was the junior sweet with a private terrace and a view over the water. Quite hotel

Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Room was great with fantastic view. Coffee maker in room. Complimentary drink. Parking valet. All nice touches to make our stay pleasurable. Would definitely stay there again.

Funky property that was beautiful. Staff were amazing and helpful. Incredible setting. Hated to leave.

Very friendly staff, hotel on the water front, great breakfast. Comfortable bed and clean room. Within walking distance of local sites

Great location for exploring Ortigia/Syracuse. Full of quirky antiques. Our room, the classic (and cheapest, I believe) faced the narrow road 3 floors below, and we got woken at 4.45 by a tremendous racket when the bin men came to collect bottles and rubbish. Not ideal when on holiday. The bathroom was a bit dingy and the hotel gave the impression it could do with an update. Nice touch was the glass of wine and talk about Syracuse to welcome us, and the breakfast was excellent!

Goofy decor-eclectic. No parking there. They can arrange parking for 20 euros/night.

The position of this little hotel (only 14 rooms) is wonderful. We were in 311, right at the top - the views were spectacular. The very best thing about the hotel was the staff; nothing was too much for them and they all made us feel special. The only problem we had was finding somewhere comfortable to sit outside - but everything else was so nice it felt churlish to moan about that! We would definitely stay there again.

We had a great stay in the Charme Hotel Henry's House. The room was very clean and we had a great balcony looking out over the sea. The breakfasts were fabulous with a large variety of delicious home made food. The staff were all very friendly and helpful.

Charming, old-world feeling with beautiful terrace facing ocean for breakfast or evening drinks. Close to all sights on Ortigia island and pedestrian shopping streets, restaurants

We chose ortigia because we wanted to be away from Siracusa but close enough to walk to siracusa’s sights. This hotel fitted the bill perfectly and we were not disappointed. The staff were welcoming and knowledgeable. All spoke very good English. We loved having breakfast on the terrace overlooking the sea. The food was just right. The room opened onto the road but we were not bothered by any noise during our stay. The air conditioning was excellent .

The staff were so helpful right from breakfast to going to bed. Delicious breakfast sat eating on the outside terrace, and drinks whenever we wanted. The views were great and the actual style of the decor we really loved- so different. Although the street was very narrow the location was brilliant, only minutes away from the main centre. We loved just walking along the streets, stopping for coffee or something to eat, or just watching the world go by. Wished we could have stayed longer!
