Reviews of Soffio del Libeccio B&B

Alessandra was incredibly friendly and helpful. The property is extremely close to Ortigia and makes for an ideal launch point for a number of other local tourist attractions.

The hotel is located in a convenient area between station and island. The room is well maintained and the host was very kind and helpful.

We had to be careful with the lock of the bathroom door as it was a bit old and we were about to be locked out, although the host lady helped us immediately.

Great location and Alessandra our host was very helpful. Good breakfast, and in walking distance to all the sites.

Ideal location. Easy walk from station. Nice cheerful kitchen for breakfast and decent selection

Couple of issues with check in but good communication and resolved Entrance to building needs more lighting at night

Excellent location near a big (paying) parking lot, and a couple of minutes walk from Ortigia. Lots of good restaurants nearby. Big rooms, comfortable bed, and although we were in a very busy street, the double windows really blocked out all outside noise. The design of the rooms etc was a bit dated, but you can see that on the photo's, and what's 'dated' for one is 'authentic' for someone else.

The host provides very basic groceries for breakfast (supermarket bread, cheese, cereals, some fresh fruit), but as there's no one there in the morning, you have to just help yourself and hope the other guests didn't eat everything. This wasn't clear to us, as this place has a review on google with photo's of a very ample breakfast, which is actually a review for another place. On the other hand: you choose when to have breakfast, and if the breakfast would have been more elaborate with someone there to set it all up etc for you, certainly the price would have been higher.

location

Convenient location one block from public parking lot (for our rental car) and easy walking distance (3-4 blocks) to Ortegia. Reasonably comfortable room, adequate for our one-night stay, but stairs were a bit of a challenge for my wife, who was still recovering from ankle surgery a year ago. Nicely presented breakfast in sunny kitchen area. Host was extremely helpful and personable.

The location is truly amazing, with Ortigia just a few minutes walk away. It is also just a short walk from the bus and train station. The whole area felt safe even for a solo traveller. The rooms are very clean, and Alessandra is an amazing host, very helpful and friendly. I wish I would have stayed a few more days in Syracusa.

In the center of the city and there was parking a block away. It was as stated in the booking ad. Staff very friendly . Safe and secure facility.

The host is so nice and clean the room super carefully. Location is perfect, walking distance to Ortigia, paid parking behind the property for 15 euro a day.

The bed and the mattress is so bad……..

The breakfast was very good, a continental style with plenty to choose from

N/A

Breakfast was fine self serve plenty of choice no complaints.

There is no parking available apart from street parking which is nearly impossible. Parking is our first priority and we wrongly thought even after sending additional questions re parking and being told by the host “ there is parking under the structure “ it is not true. So don’t be fooled like we were. The bathroom is very ordinary the toilet has a Masorater pump and you can’t put toilet paper down it or it will block up. You have to use a waste paper bin yuk Apart from that the bathroom always has a slight sewer smell when you entered it. I would think the waters seals in the traps are ineffective or it has been poorly plumbed. I would not go back to this place or recommend it. Oh and buy the way when you do find a park like we did a long way from the accommodation your likely to be accosted by the local thugs poorly dressed up as parking attendants. They demand payment for what is free parking and when you say it’s free parking they say your car needs protection. So we payed. Welcome to this seedy area!!!!

Very helpful staff. Clean room. Proximity to Otigia.

Bathroom was not attached to the room.

Alessandra is a very friendly and helpful host; nice room; great location in Syracuse; I would stay here again

Close to the old town

No parking available, information here is wrong! We searched for a free parking spot for 30 minutes and had to park 500m away. Room was very very noisy. All sounds from the street are basically in your room, also your neighbour's and all water flushing. Loud music from a bar across the street. Impossible to sleep. Breakfast was the most basic during our Sicily trip. Rooms could need a makeover.

Peaceful place

Would have liked an early morning check in, but was all ok

The perfect location, very near Ortigia, the beautiful building with marble stairs and floor

Not enough hot water for everybody. My husband had a hot shower, mine was lukewarm. The breakfast was poor. And the description of the BnB says that there is a parking place included. There is not. You can park on the street if you are lucky. I was quite upset since a parking place was mandatory for me. You shouldn't note there is a parking place if there is not.

Excellent place. Very clean and tidy Large family room Good tv set Big Bathroom and clean Very Silent place Excellent location, near ortigia old town and bus station Kitchen facilities: microwave and refrigerator. And good breakfast Very kind and helpful Hostess

Nothing

Our room was impeccably clean, very spacious and at an awesome location- just a few blocks up from the bridge to Ortigia. Our host was incredibly kind and extremely accommodating!! The complementary breakfast was so appreciated! We would stay here again without question!!!

Location is great - 5 min walk to Ortigia, Alexandra is easy to deal with, family room worked well for us.

Other people can stay in rooms at the property - so if you have noisy kids like mine it may affect other guests.
