Minareto

A resort type hotel in form of brick bungalow in Europe. It comes with a private pier where you could board on a comfortable boat going to Ortigia (the old town) in half an hour. The landscape there looks so gorgeous that anyone who lives in this hotel should miss it. It also has a private beach which can be accessed through a private tunnel which is quite interesting. Overall, a very beautiful resort overlooking the ortigia with very friendly services and 5-star facilities.

I would say it is one of the top hotels in Siracusa, location is about 15min ride from ortigia island but the hotel it self is great private beaches great service, very quiet and spacious. Regretted to only stay one night. Recommended.

很美的酒店 懸崖拍照很好看 印象深刻的旅行，房間裝修有點時間了。

Resort is beautiful, gardens excellent, privacy, staff very good!!! Esp the guest services arranged very good activities for us. As extra activities we can really recommend cooking class at area m incl market tour. Also sailing is a great activity to add.

Perfectly positioned in Syracusa directly across from the old city of Ortigia. A very well appointed resort with both a sandy beach as well as a rocky beach, both beautiful with deck chairs and service second to none. The villa rooms with a pool were excellent with privacy and very spacious. Other rooms seem to have great views and access to the beach. Staff were friendly and accomodating. Happy tom recommend this resort.

My family and I recently stayed at Hotel Minareto with high hopes for a luxurious vacation. We booked a specific villa that was advertised to include stunning water views, a private pool, and two bedrooms with three bathrooms—perfect for my wife, two kids, and me. Initially, everything seemed fine upon arrival. However, our evening took a dreadful turn when our room became infested with thousands of bugs. The infestation was severe, with bugs covering our bed, floors, and even filling the bathtub. When we called the hotel staff, they admitted they had never seen anything like it before. The hotel moved us to another room, but this one lacked the features we had specifically booked: no water view, no pool, and no separate bedrooms for our kids. This was not the experience we paid for or expected. Due to the unacceptable conditions, we had no choice but to leave the hotel early the next morning. We incurred significant additional expenses, including thousands of dollars to book another hotel in Rome for the remaining nights and change our flights to leave Italy ahead of schedule. Despite our travel agent’s efforts to secure a refund, the hotel refused to accommodate our request. We had booked a specific villa and were not provided with an equivalent alternative. We couldn’t stay there even one night due to the infestation. To provide context, we had just come from four outstanding nights at the Four Seasons Taormina, which was exceptional in every way. I have stayed in many five-star hotels over the years and have never once had an issue or felt compelled to file a review in the last five years. If anyone needs pictures or more evidence of the bug infestation, please let me know. Our experience at Hotel Minareto was extremely disappointing and far from the luxury stay we had envisioned.

Amazing property, made even better by staff that is always willing to go above and beyond. Food, amenities, beach and a very aspect of the stay was perfect. Exceptional experience - we are looking forward to coming back again. Loved our stay.

The staff went above and beyond to accommodate all our needs. Every request and question was answered swiftly and politely. A beautiful way to ease into our European holiday. The food and service staff were 5 star. The water taxi into town was terrific as well.

AMAZING stay at this beautiful hotel. Our room 253 had an amazing view over the Ortigia bay. Sunsets every night are stunning. Staff are amazing and so helpful. Food at the restaurant is 5 star, delicious fresh fish dishes aswell as pasta dishes. Breakfasts are amazing, huge selection to choose from and amazing coffee. We spent 8 nights here on our honeymoon and loved every minute. The private beach, the rocky beach and swimming pool are all clean and beautiful and drinks and food are delivered to all areas. Staff were all amazing, special mention to Andrea and Sarah in the restaurant and Sarah on the swimming pool bar. Wehave nothing negative to say about our stay here, we loved it ❤️
