We really enjoyed our stay and Giovanni our host was extremely helpful. The location is close to Ortigia island so when your car is parked for free near the hotel you can walk to the island and enjoy the sights and the restaurants. Breakfast was very nice as well!

Love the location. Easy walk to the main attractions. Our host was very nice, helpful, and breakfast was good if you opt for it. There is hit or miss street parking, but it is safe. Also a pay garage is near. The photography by our host is spectacular!

This is a perfect location: close to the rail station and midway between the northern archialogical park and the southern end of Syracuse where the bridges take you over to the old island city. Nicely renovated rooms and a friendly host serving a delicious breakfast. Good advice on restaurants and boat excusrions.

10 out 10 experience!
We had an amazing stay at the the Photoguest! Giovanni our host was incredible- and happens to be a gifted photographer hence the name of this hotel. Giovanni provided us with lots of wonderful tips, including 2 restaurants that were a real treat- giving us a real taste of Sicily. We appreciated his excellent hospitality and all the little extra bits of help. Highly recommend this place. Very clean, quiet, comfortable bedding. Don’t hesitate to book this place it’s a winner! Great location too- we walked to everything easily!

B&B is in a great location. Walking distance to Island of Ortigia with lots of restaurants and shops to choose from. Host/owner Giovanni is very kind and accommodating. Note: there is no parking on premises. You need to find free parking on streets surrounding the building, if not there is paid parking available at a parking garage next door to building. Only complaint we had were the towels, which were worn and smelled moldy. Overall great location with updated/modern rooms.
