Valeria was super nice, she gave us good tips where to eat and what to visit. Breakfast was delicious!
Excellent location….close to ruins, Main Street for shopping and dining, and secure parking. Valeria was a charming host with many great suggestions which enhanced our stay. She made the B&B special. The room was comfortable and good for 2 people.

Perfectly located for exploring Ortigia; sparkling clean; tastefully decorated; charming super helpful staff, quiet. Our host carried our bags all the way to the car park! We appreciated breakfast on the pretty rooftop before day of exploring.
Not their fault - the stairs were a challenge for a person with knee issues.
très charmant logement avec un emplacement parfait. se perdre dans le dédale de petites ruelles où se trouve l’établissement est un régal. Valeria est très gentille et donne plein de renseignements pour ce qui est à voir ou les bons restos. délicieux petit déjeuner copieux et varié .

Our host Valeria was attentive to our every need. She provided great recommendations for restaurants and historical attractions. She ensured we had an excellent experience throughout our entire stay.
The bedroom had a bit of a smoke smell.
Very good location in historic town. Modern room with small balcony, Comfortable bed and linens, good breakfast and excellent coffee. Valeria, our host, was outstanding! She provided lots of information that we used during our stay.
We liked everything!
We really enjoyed our stay. Valeria was such a delight and incredibly helpful prior to arriving - assisting with parking and had lots of recommendations. The accommodations were very comfortable and well appointed. The downside is that we had a room with a balcony but didn't use it as it was so small it could barely fit the table there and it was directly across the narrow street from another house with a balcony and french doors. It did have a screen so we could open louvered glass paned doors for fresh air. Breakfast was very good, with lots of delicious baked goods, made even better by dining on the breakfast room terrace, where you could just see the roof tops of the adjoining buildings, not panoramic but very pleasant. Location was very convenient.
Accueil chaleureux, disponibilité et conseils de notre hôtesse la localisation en plein centre d'Ortigia, le calme, la possibilité de réserver un parking à proximité
La chambre (celle que nous occupions)manque un peu de lumière du jour
Un accueil très chaleureux. Une grande disponibilité de Valeria, toujours souriante pour nous conseiller sur les bons restaurants, les incontournables de la ville. Un emplacement idéal pour découvrir l'île. Une chambre très propre et lumineuse. Une literie confortable. Un très bon petit déjeuner ... Nous recommandons vivement ✨
Le B&B est idéalement situé pour découvrir Ortigia, à proximité du parking Talete (15€ pour 24 heures ou 1,50€ de l'heure) et du centre de l'ile, sans avoir les inconvénients des nombreux piétons circulant dans les rues étroites de la ville. La chambre est confortable, spacieuse et bien équipée. Très bon accueil de Valeria qui nous donné toutes les indications nécessaires pour découvrir Syracuse. Très bon petit déjeuner pris en terrasse.
Notre chambre était située au rez de chaussée, donnant sur une ruelle calme mais sans possibilité d'ouvrir la fenêtre (clim obligatoire). Les bruits de la rue sont perceptibles. Lors de notre séjour, le SPA n'était pas opérationnel, c'est dommage.
המארחת ואלריה היתה מדהימה, מאירת פנים, עזרה בכל דבר. ארוחת הבוקר הייתה מצוינת, .
Valeria is voor deze job gemaakt. Ze doet het fantastisch, je krijgt veel tips. Het ontbijt is super!
Schimmelsporen in de douche.
Valeria fa la differenza nella struttura Attenta e premurosa in ogni richiesta Gentile a dare tutte le info necessarie Posizione ottima Pulizia ottima Colazione ottima E ribadisco tutto grazie a Valeria
La camera libeccio mancava un po’ di luce essendo a Luan terreno senza balcone. Per il resto tutto ottimo
Fabulous stay right in the heart of Ortigia. The location was perfect for exploring the island with everything in walking distance. Our room was comfortable with ample storage space and a cute little balcony. The bed was actually the most comfortable of our whole trip in Italy! Our hostess Valeria was an absolute ray of sunshine, incredibly helpful and welcoming and a great personality. We followed her dinner recommendation and were very happy with it. I was so glad we chose to stay here.
Nothing at all to say.
Perfekte Lage. Geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Phänomenaler Service (danke Valeria). Super Frühstück. Sehr gutes Preis-Leistungs- Verhältnis.
Todo, muy buena comunicación con Valeria que hace que te sientas muy bien y cuidada.
Als je met zo een glimlach wordt ontvangen kan niks meer verkeerd lopen. Valeria, je bent top! De accommodatie was perfect om Ortigia te ontdekken.
Niets
Proprietor, Valeria, kind and very helpful. Gave us s ground floor room, helpful when you use a walking stick. Stairs a bit of a challenge, but quite negotiable. Location excellent. Everywhere walkable.
Trevlig personal. Charmigt. Bra läge. Sköna sängar. Trevlig terrass
Möjligen att det var fönsterlöst men å andra sidan knäpptyst
Bellissima struttura, accoglienza top,solitamente rispetto alle foto trovi sempre una situazione non esatta.In questo B&B è come da immagini e il rapporto qualità prezzo è eccellente. Plus assoluto è il servizio con la padrona di casa Valeria che ti coccola in tutti i modi, perfetto Concierge personale da hotel 5 stelle. Siamo stati ospiti 6 giorni e i suoi consigli erano perfetti. Grazie mille per l’ospitalità. Solitamente non scrivo mai recensioni ma qui non potevo fare a meno. Nota allegra per gli italiani. Barbieri ha fatto un altra vittima… c’è il topper 😄😄😄
Niente
La struttura è davvero bella, pulitissima, profumata, posizionata proprio in Ortigia. La camera era dotata di ogni comfort, la colazione abbondante e per tutti i gusti, però chi ha reso davvero indimenticabile il nostro soggiorno al Vento di Sicilia è stata Valeria, la responsabile della struttura che ci ha fatto sentire più che a casa. Ci ha coccolato con amore per tutto il soggiorno ed è stata preziosissima con i suoi consigli. Ci torneremmo soprattutto per Valeria!!!
Nulla, tutto bellissimo!
Sehr zentral in einer kleinen Gasse mitten in Ortigia gelegen; Valeria ist super nett und versorgt einen mit sämtlichen Informationen, die man benötigt; sehr gutes Frühstück auf einen kleinen Dachterrasse
Aufgrund der zentralen Lage muss man sich für den Mietwagen ein Parkhaus suchen; wir haben im öffentlichen Parkhaus 'Talete' (15€ für 24 Std, ca. 5 min entfernt) geparkt. Sieht nicht schön aus, war aber völlig ok; es gibt neue Parkautomaten, die einwandfrei funktioniert haben.

Instalações novas, roupas de cama e banho ótimas. Tudo muito limpo e confortável ! A anfitriã muito atenciosa. Localizada num ponto central da cidade. Café da manhã maravilhoso.
Nada ! Poderia ficar mais tempo hospedada lá !
The manager, Valeria, goes above and beyond to see to the comfort of guests—a delightful person, helpful and personable. To claim the place is luxury accommodation is a significant overreach. Vento provides very clean, quiet modest accommodation.
(2)the only bathtub available was a jacuzzi in the wellness area which costs an additional 70 Euros per hour
Es liegt zentral in Ortigia und in einer ruhigen Gasse wo man alles sehr gut erreichen kann.Viele Museen, Kirchen und Sehenswürdigkeiten sind perfekt zentral und sind zu Fuß erreichbar!Auch Bootsfahrten sowie eine Rundfahrt mit den Tuck Tucks kann Frau Valeria Empfehlungen geben, was man unbedingt sehen sollte,bzw. Machen kann,aber auch super Empfehlungen von Restaurants und wo man leckeres Eis oder Granita genießen kann!
The rooms were spacious, bright, and clean and the beds and pillows were very comfortable. The amenities in the room such as shampoo, conditioner, body wash and lotion were good quality, the robe and slippers were comfortable, and the room had a nice coffee machine. A mini bar was available for convenience. The location was quite good as there were many options nearby. The breakfast in the morning was great - all the delicious Sicilian pastries, meats, cheeses, eggs, yogurt, nuts, etc. made for yummy breakfast. The coffee was really good, too. But the star of the show was Valeria who made us so comfortable and provided so many tips to make our vacation easy and memorable. She arranged rides, booked dinner reservations, got us an awesome boat tour, etc. We felt like we made a great friend on vacation. We will definitely want to return again and spend Mooe mem
Belle chambre décorée avec goût en plein centre ville ! Personne très accueillante et serviable qui nous a donné de bonnes adresses et endroits à visiter.
Nice location,Valeria is the best!
Beautiful, clean and comfortable property in an excellent location. I strongly recommend this place. Valeria was an excellent host - the best we have had to date
Nothing
We loved everything about this accommodation. The breakfast was lovely, staff were fabulous and the location was absolutely perfect. We would definately love to come back and stay here again.
Absolutely nothing, there is nothing bad to say about this property. Do yourself a favour and book it!!!!!
Valeria was simply the best host. She was so helpful with details about the parking and lots of recommendations for restaurants and gelato ! Very well located in Ortigia for everything. Lovely breakfasts and freshly made coffee. Thank you for a great stay
Nothing that i can think about
Wonderful small B&B. Perfect location in Ortigia charming host who provided good local info and prepared an excellent breakfast.
Valeria was superb, friendly and efficient. The location was good.
The lack of windows in the bedroom made it a little claustrophobic and would prevent us from booking again. We would look for somewhere with views.
The absolute best here was Valeria. She was personable and always helpful. The location is super and very quiet. The breakfast room had a beautiful outdoor deck with snacks and cool drinks all day. Breakfast was among the best we had in our month long trip in Sicily. The pastries were incomparable. The room itself had everything and was actually better equipped than most rooms. Valeria connected with us before we arrived and organized our ZTL permit. We parked a block and a 1/2 away in a locked guarded lot that was super.

Very good. Many selections
The stairs
Our host Valeria was outstanding! The breakfast was tasty and she was able to answer all our questions including help with an auto rental for a day trip. Most importantly we encountered torrential rain and were correctly advised to cancel our trip .
Nothing
Excellent location and host. Valeria was extremely helpful and friendly. The bedroom was very clean and comfortable.
Breakfast was adequate, not a lot of savoury choices, mainly cakes and pastries.
Great location for exploring Ortigia by foot. The room was well decorated and clean. Friendly and helpful staff. Special mention to Valeria. Breakfast was great and served on the roof terrace each morning.
The only windows in the room were small skylights, so we took advantage of the roof terrace when we could. Mediocre pressure to the rain head shower. As expected and due to the location, parking is in a public car park a few minutes walk away at €15 for 24 hours.
I have no idea who Guiseppe is. The person that makes this place hum is Valeria. She is fabulous. I would hire her to work my hotel in a second. Ownership should treat as the prize she truly is. David and Sandra

The location and breakfast were wonderful! The staff were very nice, helpful & attentive. The room was clean, quiet & comfortable .
All was great!
Excellent location in centre of Ortigia which is definitely the part of town to stay if you visit Syracuse Excellent breakfast Pistachio croissants to die for ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Clean Comfortable beds Lots of useful tips about what to see and do and eat from the owner Would definitely stay there again if was back in the area

The property and location was great. What made it fantastic was our host Valeria. Valeria was professional and went out of her way to accommodate any request we made. Her character and mannerism was outstanding. I will definitely recommend Vento di Sicilia to my friends and family. Robert & Julie Toronto, Canada
Valeria the host was so accommodating. Breakfast each am was tasty amd satisfying. She helped us plan our da each day and we loved our cute little apartment.
One small item I would love is a place to put soap amd shampoo in shower. With my new hip my mobility was not great but I did advise that small little detail was the one & only thing I would change. The B & B was quiet and so quaint. Bed was very comfortable as well.
Good location inthe Ortygia. Clean room good facilities. Excellent host.
The G7 were in town so when we arrived the parking was all to hell. I ended up driving around Siracusa for an hour but Valeria came and rescued me!
We had an amazing stay with our super frindly host Valeria. Her hints made the old town even more beautiful and everything can be done by foot.
The location was perfect and Valeria was wonderful and very helpful and welcoming. Great restaurant recommendations.
The room is basically not insulated from the rest of the building. While we had no particular issue with street noise, we could hear everything going on above us (kitchen and breakfast room) and outside our door (other guests) so sleep was sadly more difficult than we’d hoped.
Very clean, perfect position could walk everywhere and Valeria so very helpful. Always a smile and do helpful. She made our stay extra special , always making suggestions where to visit and where to eat. Exceptional
Service at Vento Di Sicilia is exceptional. We truly felt welcome. The room was very comfortable and breakfast was perfect. Location is amazing. We will definitely be returning and recommend to anybody visiting Ortigia.
Everything perfect, the best place in Italy I have ever been
Neat, good taste decorations, clean, tasty breakfast, comfortable, excellent treatment by Valeria - she is kind and attentive, recommended great restaurants.
Maybe freshly poached/ fried eggs for a change instead if the boiled, but not an issue really.
It was spotless clean the best bed ever and location was great easy for all quiet the women who works there are incredible always sweet breakfast amazing
Beautiful place. We’ll thought out. Great location. Valaria and staff were wonderful!! So helpful and kind!
Beautiful room with little balcony overlooking a cute alley. Breakfast spread was really nice and the service from Valeria was warm and caring. She made my stay even more pleasant.
I didn’t like the smell of the bathroom amenities, Ortigia range would have been nice instead.
Super location. Lovely bedroom and very comfortable bed. Excellent breakfast on the terrace. Super nice staff.
We would like to have used the sauna, but we were quoted 60 euro for 1 hour. Ridiculous. Such a shame.
Everything, interior, location and excellent breakfast. Most of the staff were superb with a special mention to Valeria, she was the perfect host
We had a nice breakfast each morning with the best coffee americano we’ve had in Sicily
A little hard to find when we first arrived by car and had to park, then walk. A real map sent in advance might be helpful since we had trouble accessing maps on our phones unless we had WiFi.
Valéria gave us nice tips , and was very helpful! Spacious room. Good breakfast !
No elevator, as most Ortigia , so do not take a lot of luggage
Everything was exactly as described or better, breakfast had many options and was served promptly. Our hostess (Valeria) was very knowledgeable of the area and offered great suggestions. Very clean, comfortable and modern facilities, very competent and friendly staff. Perfect location, close enough to the city center and parking at the Talette, but tucked away from the city's noise. Best mattress ever!
Nothing
The hôtel was well located, quiet, clean. Valeria has been a great host, welcoming and dedicated to help. The bed was really confortable. We had a great time.
Everything about this property was fantastic. Amazingly friendly, helpful staff, who couldn’t do enough for you. Beautiful room with the most comfortable bed of our trip! Lovely breakfast which we ate each morning on the sun terrace. We highly recommend the Vento di Sicilia

Valeria is a perfect host. Room was clean and spacious. Breakfast was served at tiny but beautiful terrace.
What a find! This accommodation hit all the right notes. Its central location was perfect for exploring, while the modern amenities and cozy atmosphere made for a comfortable stay. But the real star was the unbelievably good breakfast, leaving us thoroughly satisfied. A huge shoutout to the friendly host who made our stay extra special. 5 out of 5 stars!
We loved the location in Ortgia. The rooms and beds were very comfortable. The host/staff was extrememely helpful. We stayed in the room that had two levels. The space was small for 3 people but having the upstairs outdoor terrace was really nice for additional space for our group.
Location was good.
Not their fault but dusty noisy building works very close by
Great location and comfortable accommodation.
Staff difficult to contact (three unanswered emails re our arrival being delayed due to ferry cancellations). Narrow stairs to our first floor room.
The B&B is located in the old part of town and just minutes from the Temple of Apollo. The room was clean and comfortable. Guiseppi, the manager, could not have been more gracious and helpful.
There was nothing that I can thinks of that we did not like
Lovely and organised staff Exceptionally clean Very convenient location Outstanding value
Nothing at all
Fabulous, stylish and very clean which met all our expectations. Perfect location and Peppe, our host was friendly and very helpful
We thought Guiseppe and staff were great and very helpful. The location was fabulous, the accommodation and breakfast was faultless,
Nothing, everything was great
Fabulous, cool B&B well positioned for everything in Syracuse!
Excellent location and value for money. Beautiful city.
The staff went above and beyond to ensure that our family had an enjoyable stay; so helpful and friendly. The property was so comfortable- good beds, cool and clean.
Our stay in this superb BnB was faultless from beginning to end. Professional staff, Laura, Concetta, and owner Guiseppe made us feel so welcome from day one. Because they lived locally they were able to provide information on events, timetables, opening times etc that guided our daily excursions. We were treated more like friends than guests with a warmth and sincerity you rarely find. This is a gem of a place located just off the main hub of Ortigia but within five minutes walk of warm seas, outstanding cuisine, and history in abundance. The staff here personify all that is wonderful about Sicily and in particular Syracuse. The BnB itself is a recent modern and smart renovation of an old building. It's extremely comfortable and a real cool oasis away from the heat of the fierce Ortigia sun. I cannot recommend this place highly enough.
There was nothing I didn't like.
Very nice place in the center of Ortigia. You dont need a car here, everything is walking distance, however, if you are arriving in a car choose your parking spot carefully, to avoid getting fined/towed. There’s a big underground parking on the west side. The parking machine accepts only cash. The host here was awesome! Totally recommend all the places she suggested for food and drinks. The pistachio croissant at breakfast was great! In general breakfast in italy is kind of limited, and i wasnt sure what to expect, so this is probably the best that you can get. The location is perfectly situated near the center, everything is walking distance. In general we are kind of happy with our stay, except that it was too expensive for what it offers.
The shower is dripping, impossible to wash my hair. The pressure is extremely weak. The AC turns on but it doesn’t work, it doesn’t cool the place, it was too hot. We couldn’t sleep. The pillows are too soft. The bed is not very comfortable. Too expensive for the above reasons.
great location, delightful hosts, sleek design and in great condition.
as others noteed a bit of overhead noise while the staff preps breakfast but everything else is superb.
Good location, clean, comfortable, nice terrace. Giuseppe was very helpful and kind.
Fantastic hotel in an excellent location! The rooms are modern and spacious and Giuseppe the host was wonderful!
The location was good. Walking distance to attractions and restaurants. The street was quiet.
There wasn’t much soundproofing and we could hear what was going on outside of our room. You can’t sleep in because you can hear them getting breakfast ready and walking around above you. Otherwise it was comfortable and clean.
very central location. light and bright.
it’s large, clean , modern rooms
not much to dislike
Our stay at Vento di Sicilia was wonderful. The location was great and Giuseppe was so helpful and accommodating. Assisted us with restaurant recommendations and taxi for our departure. A great experience
The info we got fron the owner was very good. A fresh vibe overall.
Nothing in particular.
Giuseppe was extremely polite and helpful with everything. Large and comfy bed.
