I found this B&B above a quiet courtyard in the very middle of Ortigia by accident, but it turned out to be fantastic. First, the owner, Giuliana, goes out of her way to be helpful and accommodating with emails and texts. I loved my tastefully decorated (vintage!) room, which was meticulously cleaned every day. Since the B&B is in the very middle of historic Siracusa, I was able to pop in for a quick coffee, toilet or rest after visiting the Duomo, market, Giudecca or just watching the sun go down by the fountain of Arethusa. Giuliana's breakfast is huge, and can be eaten on a big terrace under the blue Sicilian sky. Free water or a quick cuppa available at any time. I walked everywhere in Siracusa. The bus and train stations are about 25 min; the Neapolis Greek & Roman ruins about 35. There's even a little restaurant downstairs in the courtyard if you're hungry and don't want to go far. I heartily recommend this very reasonable, clean, quiet and welcoming B&B.
