Joy's BnB Ortigia

Joy's BnB is very well located in one of the main streets of Ortigia, very clean room and the double windows isolate any street noise so you can rest very well, staff kind, and the breakfast included was good, not just coffee and bread.

Great hotel

This property was centrally located and super convenient for exploring Ortigia and Syracuse. It is located on the major street in Ortigia with shopping, restaurants and many of the major sites in Ortigia within easy walking distance. It's also a short walk to cross over into Syracuse. That being said, the noise outside can easily penetrate into the room. The rooms are part of large apartments located in a building. There are several other BnBs in the building as well. Currently, the building is having some kind of renovation going on inside. The rooms have a small balcony that is shared across all of the rooms so you need lock up the window/doors whenever you leave. It's nice to observe people walking by but noisy. The room itself is small but about average for what we experienced in Sicily. The bathroom is also pretty small and the toilet area was way to small requiring even a short woman like myself to sit kind of sideways on the seat. The dining room is quite nice, the breakfast options were pretty expansive. Breakfast consisted of various tea, coffee, bottled juices, fresh squeezed orange juice, and granita; various pastries and cold cereal, bread, cheeses and deli meats, and boiled eggs. One day there was bacon. They were very accommodating for my dietary restrictions and helped me identify restaurants where I could find gluten free options. The staff were all fantastic: kind, communicative, accommodating, and super helpful!

This was a wonderful place to stay in Ortigia Syracusa. Location was perfect, Seb the host was exceptional and always responded quickly. Our room was spacious and super clean. Would definitely recommend this great place to couples wanting to be in the heart of the historic district of Syracuse Sicily.
