I had a great week's stay here (July 2026). All the lstaff were both gracious and helpful and couldn't do enough for you. The rooms were clean and functional ; the room allocated had a sea facing balcony and so had a great view also. Would go back.
Chantal
I had to book a new hotel last minute and the single room with balcony was available. As a solo traveller what more do you need? I am honestly very grateful I booked this room. Even though the bathroom is very old and could use a bit of lipstick and the shower was a bit of a chaotic experience I still really enjoyed my stay here. Nothing beats the sound of the ocean in the morning, the beautiful ocean view, and the ocean breeze. Ortigia was my favourite stop on my three week trip. And I have the hotel and staff there to thank for helping out with that.
ELIZABETH
The staff was wonderful and very accommodating. Located central in the historic part of the city. Parking is about $20.00 euros a day but they valet your car and bring it back to you when you’re leaving. Which was Great
Alok R
Excellent experience. Very polite and friendly staff.
todd
Loved this stay and would love to return. The staff were all super warm, friendly and gracious. David was exceptionally friendly and helpful, greeting us with great smiles at every encounter.
Grazie Mille!
Grazie Mille!
Gerald
Wonderful location in Ortigia. Our room had a small balcony overlooking the sea. We could hear the waves at night. Be aware that there is no elevator; reception is one flight of stairs above the street and rooms above that. The staff helped us bring our luggage upstairs, however. There is no parking at the hotel. The public lot is about 500 meters away and it’s €25 a day.
Marsha
What a beautiful hotel! Our room looked out to the sea and was beautifully outfitted. The staff was amazingly helpful and kind. We loved our stay in Ortigia!
Marti
We rented two rooms. The staff were wonderful and very helpful! The location was excellent with great views of the sea and convenient walking distance to cafes and restaurants.
We would have really liked to have a coffee maker in the room. We were not interested in the full breakfast, but would have liked to have coffee in our rooms without getting fully dressed, leaving the building and visiting the hotel's other building across the street just to have a cup of coffee. Also, the showers are really awkward to get in and out of because of the accordion glass doors. In one of our rooms, the drain must have been clogged, because the water filled up in the bottom of the shower and almost overflowed before the user was finished using the shower.

Great stay, great location, & great staff! They were very helpful
ellen
Breakfast was amazing and the staff was absolutely lovely
Marti
The staff were incredibly warm, friendly and very helpful (including helping to carry luggage up the stairs!), b/c there is no lift. We were very disappointed that there was no simple coffee maker in the rooms to start our day (especially considering the caliber of the hotel) - this is considered a very basic standard these days even in 2 star hotels. In room #205, the drain in the shower was clogged and water backed up while showering. The toilet seat was also loose or broken and tilted one way or another when sat on. The glass doors on the showers are also very awkward to open and get in and out of the shower. That said, the hotel is very conveniently located to many sites and the historic center, as well as near the sea.
carla
The hotel felt a bit dated, with old rugs, artificial plants, and a lot of religious decor. We didn’t love having to leave our key at the front desk every time we went out. There were numerous small notes around the room, but they weren’t particularly helpful—clearer instructions (like which switch controls the bathroom light) would have been much more useful. So many switches but none in the bathroom. The TV didn’t work and was confusing to operate, with two remotes that didn’t seem functional. The windows were set very high, making it difficult to enjoy the sea view, especially for someone shorter like myself. On a positive note, the bed was comfortable.
Ahmed
The hotel location is extremely close to everything, but what makes the hotel exceptional is the front desk receptionist Cinzia. She is what gives the hotel its beauty. Will definitely come back
Daniel
Awesome boutique hotel with cats and nuns—great views of the sea from some rooms. If you’re looking for a 3-star hotel in a superb location with very kind staff, you can’t go wrong here!
Jason
I was welcomed so warmly. Great staff who went out of their way to make it a great stay. The room was a bit old, the shower was a bit unusual, but it was very charming and the view out over the water was amazing! Close to everything but also off to the side to be quiet enough. Would definitely recommend
Elizabeth
Highly recommend this cozy waterfront property. The staff made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. We received beautiful upgraded seaview rooms. The rooms were clean and modern with 24 hr front desk attendants. If you are travelling solo, you will feel very safe here. Shout out to Cinzia! She recommended local restaurants, all of which were excellent. Parking is available at a private parking garage nearby for €25.00/day which includes valet pick up and drop off. We will not hesitate to book this hotel on our next trip to Ortigia.
David
Beautiful Otigia! Most helpful staff!
Amanda
Breakfast was fresh and the service was wonderfully. My balcony over looked the sea. They helped me with my bags and were very friendly. They spoke English which helped a lot.
Ricky
Myself and my girlfriend stayed her for a short (a few days) trip in Ortigia, and the experience was great.
The location is amazing, right on the beachfront near everything, and the staff go above and beyond. We weren't the easiest guests im sure, we had many small, but persistent requests and the staff were consistently friendly, and more than happy to meet our requests with grace and enthusiasm. Our stay in Ortigia was enhanced by the staff at the Dorus Mariae Albergo. I can't comment on breakfast, as we opted to have brunch at a nearby Bistro, but this is in no way a comment on the breakfasts at the hotel; this is simply how we like to holiday.
Overall, a wonderful experience here, with wonderful staff in an absolutely beautiful location.

Randi
The Domus Mariae Albergo was an exceptional find! The staff was friendly and extremely helpful in finding parking (an issue in Ortigia), recommending sites to see as well as authentic restaurants patronized by the locals. The room was clean, the linens crisp and bathroom well appointed. We will stay here again when next in Siracusa!
Jia
Beautiful ocean view, very clean and spaciousroom! Easy to drive to, but also close to the town center. Most helpful staff! Thank you!
Sophia
I had a lovely stay at Domus Mariae, the hotel is charming and conveniently located. Be sure to book a room facing the sea, the view was spectacular. Cinzia was an extremely welcoming and accommodating host. Overall I highly recommend a stay here.
clint
Great location, but very average accommodation. The bed was comfortable, but there were no real amenities like coffee or water available in the rooms.
Tim
Beautiful hotel with a great staff. Be sure to book a room in the water side
Peggy

Angeline
Lovely staff. Great view. Good location.
Zuzana
Nice location and good sized room. The staff were kind and helpful. I didnt take the breakfast so can not comment on that but there are lots of lovely places to take good breakfast close by. My room could have been cleaner and I informed the staff so hopefully they will ensure it is better in the future.
MARY
The shower was terrible. Too small like a phone booth. Drain was slow.
Floor in bedroom was not clean. Sand and hair on the floor.
Cat or cats live in the office area . Not good for someone with allergies.

Just left a wonderful stay in Ortigia. The hotel was amazing! Friendly, sweet staff.. very helpful. The room was quiet, clean with a little balcony. The entire island is walkable in every direction. 15 mins max from one side to the other. 3 mins from fresh food market for fresh spices, seafood, veggies and fruit, and much much more.
Restaurant choices are endless… and all authentic and marvelous. You will love your stay!

On hotels.com website, they said they has elevator. But they don't. The front desk is on 2nd FL and our room was on 4th FL. The staircases are narrow and slippery. The ceiling above the staircases are low and must bend head to pass. Otegia is a small island. This hotel is far from all the atractions and restaurants. Its name include doumo. I thought it must be very close to catherdral. But it is quite a walk. The amenities in the room is very basic, nearly to none.
Katherine H
Balcony view inimitable.
Laurie

Eleanor
The staff was so helpful, the location was quiet and convenient to restaurants and sites. The room was very clean and comfortable. Highly recommend.
Selena
Great hotel, perfect location. Swimming spot right outside in ocean with safety rocks to keep large sea life out. Lovely views. Friendly staff, comfortable beds and nice price. Don't miss this gem.
Daisy
Great hospitality. Very clean and staff very helpful. Enjoyed our stay very much.
Jeremy
Great lovation, friendly staff
Very helful and friendly staff, good location with a lovely sea view room. Breakfast is taken in the partner hotel opposite, which was nice. Parking is available in the nearby car park (very difficult to enter)
Bruce
This was the nicest place we stayed in Sicily. The staff was absolutely the friendliest and best. They gave us free complimentary breakfast each day. Make sure to ask for an ocean-view room with balcony - absolutely stunning vistas, and you can go out and swim in the crystal-clear warm blue waters or sun on the rocks. Hotel is in Ortigia, the trendy island that was ancient Syracuse, walking distance to wonderful restaurants, shops, outdoor cafes, gelato, and all the important archeological sites of Syracuse. This place was a gem! Parking was available nearby. One small warning: no elevator, and rooms are up two or three flights of stairs, but they carry luggage up stairs to you room for free. They also help with getting a shuttle or cab, tour reservations and recommendations. They even have free bicycles you can use to explore the city.

Hotel was overall very tired, bathroom requres update, toilet seat cheap and wobbled, shower didnt drain properly so showering had to be quick. Kettle had no near socket and had to be plugged into light socket and handle became hot, TV didnt work. Terrace nothing like the picture as most furniture old and broken. Gym not available but some very old pieces of gym equipment were available which we used but doubt it met safety standards. Such a shame as the location was fantastic and the staff were great and really helpful. The entire hotel requires an internal facelift
Richmond
Extremely pleasant and quiet. All great as long as no needed elevator. Splendid room views
David
David, Cynthia the hosts cat the front desk were wondeful and couldn’t do enough for us
Pauline
A very pleasant hotel on Ortigia Island in Siracusa. No elevator but the staff will take your bags to your room. Some rooms overlook the ocean--and, luckily, my room was one of them. The rooms (with bathrooms) have all the essentials
Chaim
Excellent location with pleasant evening sea breezes. Well-staffed and fine accommodation in historic Ortygia.
Blake

Nora Mariana
Dreaming place, with ocean views, excellent staff, beautiful and clean. Very good breakfast.
Don’t go to ortigia with car because there are no parking but if that’s the case, the staff will help you to find private parking.
Definitely will come back :)

Look no further, this is a lovely place to stay with amazing views from the windows and perfectly situated for exploring Syracusa. Staff were so friendly and helpful, I felt very well looked after.
Verified traveler
This place is more like a B&B. Location is excellent, on water and walkable to everything. It is an old convent converted to B&B, there are no elevators. If you are not in an ocean view room then it is just an ordinary experience. We had the view and it was amazing.
Richard
Just a great location with a balcony with incredible sea views! We loved the place! Staff kind and helpful and they went out of their way to help us! No elevator but the staff brought our bags up to the room. So nice! No parking on site, but they have a nearby parking garage staff come and get the car and park it for you. This does cost an extra €20/night but well worth it. We didn’t opt for their €13 breakfast buffet but instead found a great breakfast cafe just down the street recommended by the staff. We were able to swim near the hotel off the sea wall. Water was warm and very clear! Overall a great experience for us!! We would stay there again for sure!!
Eugene
I like our host David, very warm and hospitable person. Mostly because of him I recommend the place, it is located in a beautiful spot with easy access to sightseeing and shopping places
Stephen
The staff, particularly David and Cynthia were always helpful, knowledgeable, smiling, and forgiving of our touristic lapses
Verified traveler
Good location
Location was great, waterfront although our room didn’t have water views. Room was fine just needs some TLC.
Judith
We had the most amazing time at this hotel in beautiful Ortigia. We cannot thank Cinzia and Davide enough for their wonderful hospitality and welcome during our 3 night stay. We consider them our dear friends now. The hotel is beautiful and our lovely room was large with a gorgeous sea view and balcony. Grazie mille!!!

We stayed here for one night and Davide was incredibly kind and helpful. He insisted on carrying our suitcases to our room, gave us a list of local places to see and even gave us bikes so we could tour the city. Our room had a wonderful view of the sea as well.
Carol
Great stay in quiet part of Ortigia. Swimming spot nearby, quick walk to restaurants, bars & the busier parts of the area. Great breakfast provided & delightful staff. Thanks, we had an excellent time.
Geraldine
Cynthia, the manageress, is wonderful. Gave us advice about places to visit, restaurants, transport etc. David was also very good. Would highly recommend it as a place to stay.
Barry
Great property for a couple of nights. Well located and very friendly. Very good buffet breakfast. Fabulous ocean views if you take a sea facing room.
Thomas
A wonderful cool, clean and tidy property. Absolutely amazing staff with which nothing was too much bother to sort out.
A small rocky beach nearby was heaven and Syracuse is such a beautiful area.

The best sea view ever ...
Linda
This place is a dream! The location, the views and especially the people. The staff were all so nice and friendly. Such an accomodating hotel. We had a water view and could not get enough of the beauty that surrounded us. The hotel is beautiful. Beds perfect. and They cleaned the rooms daily. Would definitely return some day (from the USA)
Jane
A fabulous place to stay. Ortigia is easy to walk around and you’re not far from any of the historical sights. The bonus was the balcony overlooking the sea
Fabulous, friendly staff. Highly recommend 😊

Great location with sea views. The staff is welcoming and helpful.
There are a lot of stairs. Reception is one flight up and then rooms are another floor or two above that.

This was a lovely place to stay. Friendly people, high standards of cleanliness, and pretty cats occasionally visiting the corridors

Domus Mariae Albergó is a gem overlooking the sea in Ortigia. Our room had a balcony that overlooked the sea and the sounds and salt breeze were delightful. The room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was at sister inn across the street Staff were very helpful. Location was close to sea wall but not far - a few minutes walk- from restaurants and shopping.
David
Room was super quiet and made sleeping very relaxing. Very walkable to mutilple eating establishments
laura
Perfect location with sea views. David was so charming and warm, as were all the staff. Adorable cats, beautiful, clean and perfectly appointed rooms. Cannot recommend it highly enough- and they give you 2 great pillows!

Highly Recommended Small Hotel
Wonderful location. Small and cozy. The desk clerks were very friendly and spoke good English. The balcony of my room was practically above the water. Lovely surf sound.

Great stay!
Great location with an extremely hospitable and helpful staff. The ocean view was sublime. It was hard to leave!!
Matthew
Great hotel - would skip breakfast though.
Centrally located and all in walking distance to everything in Ortigia. Breakfast was very haphazard and even though we pre ordered everything they ran out of what we asked for and half the breakfast never turned up. Cinzia was amazing and very helpful. It would be nice next time if there was enough change for the city on checking out next time.

Everything was perfect. The only thing what could be changed to eliminate the disposable plastic cups in the bathroom and use refillable soap- and shampoo bottles instead of the mini packs.

Property With Great Service and Location
We stayed 1 night in Syracuse and really enjoyed our stay at Domus Mariae Albergo. One huge bonus for us was the ability to drive right up to the property and drop off our luggage. This isn't always possible when traveling in Italy. As mentioned by other reviewers, this property doesn't have an elevator so if you large luggage, this might be a challenge.
Our room was pretty basic, but because we weren't in Syracuse for very long, location was most important for us. The property is close to historical sites in Ortigia and has great restaurants nearby. In addition to that, the staff at Domus Mariae Albergo were extremely friendly and helpful. The clerk at the front desk even took the initiative to note down our license plate and register our car while we got settled into our rooms.
Free parking is available near the property but is very limited so we ended up parking in a paid lot. Overall, we had a very pleasant stay here.

There is no elevator, if that makes a difference. It is at least on floor up to the rooms. The breakfast was full and very good.
Devon
Beautiful view!!!
We had a lovely stay here. The staff are absolutely wonderful! They recommended marvelous places for dinner and lunch, were so helpful making sure we were comfortable. The view from our room was AMAZING. We looked right out onto the sea. So beautiful! The location of the hotel is fantastic for seeing the historic part of Syracuse and we will definitely stay there again if ever we are in town.

Very comfortable bed in a spotlessly clean room.
Staff helpful and friendly. Hotel located well in Ortigia.
Breakfast disappointing. Often food not replenished and no plates available. Typical Italian breakfast very sweet fare offered. No toaster available and the room was overcrowded and did not really work

Great stay and friendly staff
Wonderful hotel, beautiful view of the sea and some of the friendliest, most helpful staff we've ever experienced at any hotel anywhere. Cinzia and Davide made us feel like family. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The breakfast was great, the room was clean and the location was perfect for exploring Ortygia. Would definitely stay here again. We loved Siracusa and our stay here made it even that much more memorable.

We will be back
Excellent location and the most friendly staff, highly recommended, thank you Cinzia and David!
Sue
Best hotel of our entire trip. Wonderful sea view. Very friendly, helpful staff - especially the very energetic Cinzia who gave us great tips on restaurants and made absolutely sure we saw all there was to see.
