Palazzo Salomone

We spent a night at this beautiful hotel and loved it! The hotel is located in a pedestrianized part of the island, just a 2 minute walk from where you can get dropped off by car or taxi. Beautiful rooms and excellent quality products! An easy walk to the center of Ortigia itself, as well as to the Castello Maniace (which is a must visit in itself).

We love a good luxury hotel because, after a good day of exploring and kicking about, we like to settle in en famille and chill. Palazzo Salomone was a standout for us in our many years of traveling as a family. ||We took 2 large rooms for 2 adults and 2 kids. They were very different from each other, one in the main building and one across a back courtyard. Both rooms were very clean and well-appointed (as one would expect). The rooms were both 2-levels, with the sleeping area upstairs from the main part taking advantage of the small floor plans of older buildings. The controls in each rooms (heating, lighting, A/C, etc.) were typically Italian: super-modern and a bit confusing, but a little trial and error gets you on the right path. ||What really makes the difference in properties like this is the staff, and here is where the hotel got 5 stars: We were made to feel 100% at home every minute of the day. The hotel boasts a high-end restaurant basically in the lobby that was crowded most meals, but we were never allowed to feel like we were intruding. Quite the opposite: Cristina made herself our best friend throughout our stay, making sure that our breakfast was amazing and that we had everything we needed. The entire staff was the ideal mix of casual and formal, going above and beyond in every way. It was a superb stay. ||(Pro tip: We bought 2 puzzles to build while we stayed, and left them behind for others to enjoy when they visit in case of a rainy day. Ask at the front desk…)

Palazzo Salamone is a beautiful hotel in a great location in Siracusa. The hotel gave us a room upgrade before our stay and the hotel amenities were brilliant. The hotel staff were attentive, kind and made us feel at home. On my birthday they brought up a cake and a candle which was extremely thoughtful and much appreciated. The breakfast was outstanding I would highly recommend it to anyone staying there, everything was fresh, tasty and presented beautifully! A special thanks to Cristina who looked after us every morning at breakfast. Thank you so much. Tia
