My time at Maniace Boutique Hotel was so much more than a stay… it was a truly wonderful experience from beginning to end. From the outset, communication was exceptionally professional, including the seamless arrangement of my airport transfer on arrival.
I was greeted so warmly by Luca, and throughout my five day stay, every member of staff made me feel incredibly special. They consistently went above and beyond to ensure I had a wonderful experience. Luca, Massimo, Lorenzo and the entire staff could not have been more genuinely cheerful, caring and helpful, making fabulous suggestions for places to visit, restaurants and bars and always stopped what they were doing to say hello and have a chat.
The location of Maniace Boutique Hotel is perfect, overlooking the sea and within easy walking distance of everything Ortigia/Siracusa have to offer.
My room, the Artistico, had a beautiful artistic ambience and layout, windows with both a sea view and views of a lovely courtyard. It was elegantly decorated with luxurious fittings, and the cleanliness was impeccable. The shower was amazing, with an added massage feature that I loved!
Lovely breakfast with delicious cakes and pastries that differed each day.
Highly recommend and would definitely stay again.

A small gem in Ortigia.

Although we booked a small double room without a view, it exceeded expectations. It featured a charming private courtyard—perfect for relaxing in the evening with a drink. The room was well-equipped with plenty of amenities, and the shower was excellent.

The location is unbeatable, just a stone’s throw from a lovely little beach. Breakfast was fantastic, with a great selection including plenty of gluten-free options.

Overall, a wonderful stay and definitely one to recommend.

We stayed here for an extended period and while some of the staff were very friendly, the overall experience was disappointing and unhealthy.
•Mold & damage: The hotel has a strong mold smell throughout, especially in the bathroom. In our room, there was an open ceiling space exposing wires, visible water damage, and mold. Even walking up the stairs, you can see mold in the crawlspaces. Both of us developed severe headaches and had to leave early for health reasons.
•Unprofessional management: When paying taxes, the general manager was extremely rude and refused to refund our last night until I mentioned I had photo evidence of the mold. Two other people witnessed this behavior.
•Poor amenities: If you expect standard hotel offerings (room service, onsite restaurants, etc.), you won’t find them here.
•Location: The beach directly in front of the property is dirty. The nearest nicer (but still average) beach is about a 10-minute walk. Restaurants nearby are just okay.

The only highlight of the area was the historic sites, which were truly worth seeing—but staying at this hotel overshadowed that. For the price, it is absolutely not worth it.

From booking to checking out was an easy and smooth process. ALL the staff were very helpful, friendly , informative, and attentive. I felt it was in a convenient location-iyou can enjoy walking ,it's only a short 10 minute walk- by the sea or thru the beautful store and restaurant lined streets. The breakfast was VERY ample and delicious. We only had breakfast so I cannot comment on other meals but can only imagine they would be fabulous. ALL the staff at breakfast were
very attentive and accommodating to my sister in law's specific dietary needs as well Our room was SPECTACULAR!!! Sufficient space and VERY clean. The view ABSOLUTELY BREATHTAKING - great sunsets and sunrises. I mentioned in my booking that we were celebrating our wedding anniversary and flowers and champagne awaited us upon our arrival. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND choosing your stay here, you will not be disappointed.

This is an outstanding resort hotel right in the heart of Ortigia, the beautiful historic center of Syracuse, Sicily. The hotel is full of light and you'll be mesmerized by waking up with the azure of the sky and the Mediterranean Sea in front of view, enchanted by the reflection of the sunshine. The rooms are comfortable. The staff is exceptionally friendly, professional, attentive and kind. Breakfast is delicious. An absolute gem!!

Such a gorgeous, elegant and luxurious hotel – new and modern but also tasteful and classic, and even better than we had expected. The location is incredible, directly across the road from the steps down to Spiaggia di Cala Rossa, and the option for paid valet parking made it so easy to arrive/check in/check out. Ortigia is small so everything is very walkable after arrival, and we felt like we had the best possible location in town – right on the water but so close to everything. Our room was so comfortable and cool, with views across to the sea – it’s clever to have the window raised above eye level so there’s privacy but also beautiful natural light and the view. All the hotel staff were so friendly and helpful, and we enjoyed a stunning aperitivo in the evening, and breakfast in the morning. Overall, Maniace Boutique Hotel is up there with some of the loveliest modern five-star hotels we’ve stayed at around the world.

Absolutely recommend this hotel. In great location, garden room was nice and quiet (requested a quiet room and hotel accomdated it, which really appreciated it).
Bed is very comfortable (not super soft which provide a great support for my back. Duvet and bedding are also comfortable. Pillows are on the slight firm end but still okay.
Room is beautifully decorated. Breakfast also had loads of options.
The only slight downside was one day the room has been made up but no fresh towels were replaced even though the old towels were on the floor and been removed. And we have requested new towels via reception, new towels arrived without issue.
