Hotel Gutkowski

This was our second stay at Hotel Gutkowski, and we hope it won't be our last. We came originally with our two teenage children and stayed five days, seven years ago, and had a wonderful holiday. This time, we came just as a couple for a one week stay. The welcome, kind & extremely informative, was every bit as we had remembered. The hotel is situated in the historic centre of Siracusa, Ortigia, and there is so much to see & do by foot. The hotel is simply furnished in eclectic style. The rooms have both air conditioning & ceiling fans, absolutely essential, even in September. The restaurant has greatly expanded since our original stay, and we enjoyed two superb meals there, in addition to a varied buffet breakfast every morning. On the second floor there is a large terrace overlookig the sea, where guests are welcome to enjoy drinks, etc. A couple of times we bought food from the incredible local market to have a picnic lunch on the terrace, and enjoy the view. Very highly recommended.
