Giuggiulena

The Hotel is beautiful, but this review is really about the owners. They went over and above to help us when we had an unfortunate incident. The morning after checking, while walking to our rental car parked on the street, we found it had been hit head-on by another car during the middle of the night. The other vehicle was still there with airbags deployed but no driver. Our car wasn't driveable and needed to be towed. The rental car agency was not helpful (even hanging up on us) because they didn't want to call a tow truck. After my credit card had declined their 5,000 Euro charge, they insisted I go back immediately to the Airport (an hour away) to pay them an initial accident amount (5000 Euros). Sabrina stepped in and made several calls to the Rental agency before they agreed to send a tow truck and wait until the next day when I was flying. Sabrina then drove me to the local tow company, so I could pay them using my credit card, otherwise they would not have towed the car.

My mum and I stayed at Guigguilenas last October for 4 nights. We look back at our stay as being the most memorable and personal hotel experience we have ever had. From the minute we arrived Sabrina and Claudia were the perfect hosts, they gave us a tour of the B&B and provided us with all the information we needed to enjoy our time in Siracusa. I was 5 months pregnant at time and their warm welcome immediately made us feel we had chosen a special place. Waking up to the sound of the water and going to the terrace for the most delicious breakfast was the perfect start to the day. Our room was big and bright with its own balcony that had views directly onto the water where you could see the sun rise. We went for a swim everyday directly from steps at the back of the hotel into the most refreshing water and the hotel provide snorkels and jelly shoes. The hotel is a little out of the centre, It’s a 15 minute walk. You can do half the journey by boat taxi or taxi if you prefer. In our opinion it’s well worth being a little further out for the hotels stunning location right by the water. Thank you for such a wonderful memory with my mum. I can’t wait to come back one day with my husband and baby.

Our family of 4 stayed in giuggiulena villa for 5 nights in April. We stayed in the 2 bedroom apartment. The apartment was very comfortable and the terrace was great. The breakfast was excellent and Sabrina and Claudia were very kind and helpful hosts. We had a great time and look forward to returning.

We had a brilliant stay in the villa at Giuggiulena. The view from the bedroom was spectacular. The facilities were great the private terrace was fantastic. The breakfast was excellent with fresh produce every day. I can't wait to visit here again.

Coming to the Giuggiulena we understood the meaning of a "hidden gem". Our room was right on the sea with a private terrace. It is also possible to walk down to the sea or go to the sundeck on the roof. It is run by two lovely sisters who made us feel welcome the moment we arrived. They have only three parking space available so it is necessary to reserve. Great breakfast room overlooking the sea. It was very relaxing to hear the crashing of the waves the rocks and it felt like being IN the sea :)

This property is located at the edge of the sea. It is a very special location. Sabrina is a wonderful host; she is friendly, warm and generous. I felt like a guest in her beautifully appointed home. The breakfast preparation was beautiful and I observed many guests (including myself) taking photos of the sumptuous display. We went swimming in the sea and sat on the balcony watching the waves wash over the rocks. It’s a stunning setting. I was sad to leave and hope to have the opportunity to visit again.

The seaside setting and views are gorgeous and the breakfasts better than some 5-star hotels where we have stayed but what really sets Giuggiulena apart is the warm welcome and matchless hospitality that hosts Sabrina and Claudia provide to their guests.

We were able to swim right off of the property into the beautiful blue sea:). Breakfast at sunrise on the balcony was exquisite. Wonderful spot!
