Wow. We just spent 3 nights at Giuggiulena Villa and wish we had stayed here for our whole trip. Almost want to keep it a secret…!
It’s a family-run, 8 room boutique hotel by the sea.
Location; stunning, right on the sea, all rooms have a sea view; most have balconies overlooking the sea. The property has direct access to the sea (the coast is rocky all around this area). They have rock shoes provided, as well as mats to sit on, sun loungers and inflatables so you can spend your day in the crystal clear water.
The hosts Sabrina and Claudia are so lovely and helpful. Excellent communication before the trip organising an airport transfer, booking a local restaurant for our first night’s dinner etc. The friendly family vibe makes you feel so welcome.
Breakfast is simple but enough, fresh coffee, yoghurt, eggs, fruit and pastries eaten right by the sea on the terrace. One day they made us a small lunch (as we were busy drinking wine in the sea!) of bruschetta and local ‘spaghetti sandwiches’ which was amazing. They even baked the most delicious chocolate torte for my husband’s birthday.
If your priority is being walking distance to Ortigia but with a prime seafront location, look no further. We adored this hotel and will be coming back.
