It’s such a special grand old hotel. The lookout from our balcony was like a ship porthole, offering this really great view of the waterfront and property. Breakfast was top-notch. All in, a delightful stay!

It had the old historic charm. The price was a good value for the room. If ever gets a remodel as it needs some Upgrading them then the price would be much higher. Nice pool. Staff needs to be a little more helpful and friendly.

A wonderful luxury hotel albeit our rooms were a bit small compared to the others. (2 single occupancy rooms). Very clean well serviced. Like a trip back in time to the golden age of luxury. Would definitely return and highly recommend this hotel. Extremely excellent value for money.

Large older hotel, built in 1862 but renovated. Quiet. Situated in an historic park. Many bus tours stay here. Rooms are clean, fairly large and adequately equipped. Bed needs to be upgraded, mattress is hard and uncomfortable. Shower is in the bathtub, you need to step over the bathtub to access. Limited views from rooms. Convenient city bus stop not far from the main gate to access downtown and Ortigia. Free parking for those with rental cars. Breakfast is okay, typical large group buffet-style with chaotic frenzy to grab fresh items in limited quantities. Restaurant for dinner is okay but overpriced. Much better dining options in town.

The hotel is situated in a wonderful location, with beautiful surroundings that made our stay particularly enjoyable. The breakfast was a little below our expectations, and some of the amenities could benefit from updating. However, these were minor issues, and overall we had a very pleasant stay and would happily return.

It’s a great hotel with free parking. Location is very convenient. One thing not so great is that there isn’t any coffee machine, kettle or any other standard equipment. For this level the hotel is, it is very unusual. Other than that, it’s not a bad one.

The rooms are really nice, smaller than pictures, but nice. View was ok, small porthole in a Concrete wall. Pool was great, breakfast was amazing. Staff are very friendly and attentive. We had a car so it was 7 minute drive to parking outside Ortigia every evening plus we did day trips to Noto, Catania, Marzemeni, Brucoli. Parking was easy and convenient. Great value for the price. I would stay again. We rented a self captained boat as well, coast is beautiful, and we ate every night in Ortigia. We split our time between Syracusa-Ortigia and Taormina.

We overall really enjoyed our 3 night stay here, and appreciated the quiet and historic charm of this hotel. It is an incredibly unique peace of property, with an attached historic Latomie that was both beautiful and intriguing—we really wished the hotel had access to explore the areas below. We also really appreciated the continental breakfast, and were surprised by other’s complaints in reviews we had read before staying here. It was the most elaborate continental breakfast we have ever experienced, with options ranging from fresh fruit, to delicious pastries, and even eggs and bacon for those with used to a more American meal. We loved the pool as well, however we were disappointed that it was only open until 7pm every day, we would have enjoyed an evening swim. The bar was also closed, though they provided service through the bar inside. We also really enjoyed the 2 for $22 aperitivo offered from the bar. The room we stayed in was small and a bit dated, but met our expectations for an older hotel. We also had issues with the AC not turning off and making our room very cold. We were able to find parking every night, however I would not describe it as a big parking lot, and it was overflowing every night with people crammed wherever they could find room.

A lovely and charming historical hotel in a quieter neighbourhood outside the centre. We enjoyed a leisurely breakfast and relaxing by the pool and walked in to the old town at Ortigia every day, it’s about half an hour if you are used to walking. The pool is very nice and there are plenty of sun beds, no need to reserve. All the staff were extremely friendly, polite and helpful, from the front desk to restaurant, bar, housekeeping and pool bar. The air conditioning can be quite noisy but we eventually figured out how to adjust it and switch it off, and the reception staff were also very helpful about found this remotely for us as an alternative solution. The grounds are impressive and it’s a short walk to a sea view, cycle and walking or jogging path north along the coast, and even closer to the Zen solarium platform where you can book sun beds and swim in the sea (down steps into rocks, not a beach). Grand Hotel Villa Politi has everything you need for a pleasing and relaxing holiday, especially if you don’t want to be right in the thick of the bustling old town but have more room to breathe.
