Great location, thanks Salvo!
Great price for the location and access to old town. Large, clean but basic room. The owner Salvo was fantastic and went out of his way to tell us about the local area, enthusiastic about Sicily and made his way back to let us in after we had arrived after our expected time.

A bit shabby and uncomfortable
Didn't really like as the house looked shabby and uncomfortable. No decoration whatsoever. It looked more like a student apartment. Breakfast was very limited. I wouldn't stay there again even though the landlord was a nice person who tried his best to make us feel comfortable.

Great location. Very friendly and helpful staff
We had a wonderful stay in Syracuse. Le Grand Bleu is in a perfect location. Salvo was very friendly and helpful, he allowed us to drop our bags off early and gave us some great recommendations. Our room was comfortable and very clean. The breakfast was basic, but not a problem when you have such culinary delights on the doorstop. A great base for exploring a beautiful city.

Room (with shared bath) was adequate as was the breakfast. The location, however, was excellent and the owner most engaging.

Clean bed for the night
Room was spacious and pretty clean with ok views of harbour from balcony. Very close to bridge to Ortigia where you will spend most your time. The owner wasn't around when we arrived in the afternoon, I was buzzing the building door with no answer and had to ask a few locals for help before eventually one friendly business owner across the road called the owner for me and he arrived about 15 minutes later. I would strongly recommend scheduling an arrival time with the owner so you are not left on the street confused and waiting. The owner did help me find a street park which was good and he had plenty of info on the town. Breakfast was fairly ordinary. Fresh coffee was good.

Good location to see sites
Pepe and Salvo do a great job. They provided a lot of information about Syracusa including travel tips for the area. On street parking is difficult. Must call to check-in, Except for parking location makes walking to sites very good. Rooms are very stark and not warm. Shared bath is kept clean.

great location
Lovely stay, made to feel very welcome. Good, clean facilities and relaxed atmosphere with access to the kitchen so you could make coffee or cook a full meal if you wanted. Very close to Ortegia but without the increased cost. There is a lift which is good as the rooms are on the 5th floor. I had a huge room with a balcony and the bathrooms are well equipped.

Good value, helpful host
We had a pleasant stay at Le Grand Bleu. The host was extremely helpful. His advice allowed us the best use of our time. We were disappointed that our room was not en suite. However, the bathrooms were clean and readily accessible. The location was ideal. It was extremely close to the Ortigia and convenient to other sites in Siracusa.

If you want to visit to Syracuse, I strongly recommend this place because of great location which is near Ortegia, easy to access anywhere by walk. The host was very kind and provided very good information. He was very helpful all the time. The room was clean and spacious enough for two people. Overall, very satisfied with our stay!

Friendly B&B near Ortigia
We were a family of three staying four nights in March. The B&B consists of a large apartment in a block of flats and offices, Outside the only indication of its existence is the name on the answerphone buzzer. We had a very bright and spacious room with a balcony and a lovely view out to the harbour. The rooms are not en suite and two shower-rooms were shared with about three other rooms. Breakfast was simple continental. The staff couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful and provided lots of local information. Street parking was free although it was sometimes difficult to find a space. It had a great location just near the bridge over to Ortigia so it was just a few minutes walk to the old town. I would definitely recommend Le Grand Bleu.

I loved it here, I did not want to leave. The people here are wonderful! Clean, comfortable, and a great location. Every bedroom opens to a balcony with beautiful sea views! The family that owns this place make everyone feel at home. I would highly recommend Le Grand Bleu and am in the process of planning my next trip to Siracusa and I plan on booking my stay with them. Hopefully they will have room for me.

Petite déception mais bien placé
le B and B est bien placé pour visiter Syracuse, tout se fait à pied, les chambres très simples possèdent un balcon . Les équipements sont vieillots et pas bien entretenus. Salvo nous accueillent très gentiment et évoque le pris bas pour Syracuse ! Pas de petit déjeuner (excuse covid) alors que nous l'avons payé! Nous avons pu toutefois utiliser sa cafetière. Avis très partagé voir décus.

Une très belle surprise ! Cet appartement st superbement situé : il est juste à coté de l'île d'Ortigia. Nous avions une chambre fantastique avec une vue sur l'île et les deux ports. Le propriétaire nous a donné beaucoup de conseils pour visiter la partie historique de la ville. L'endroit est très propre et très bien tenu. Merci beaucoup pour ce séjour (trop court).

Magnifico
Il soggiorno è stato davvero meraviglioso. La struttura è dotata di tutti i servizi e le comodità, la stanza con vista sul mare è davvero incantevole. La stanza è grande, luminosa e confortevole. Il titolare è davvero una persona deliziosa, è stato gentilissimo e chiaro nel riferire tutte le informazioni del caso. Inoltre, bisogna aggiungere la scelta del nostro itinerario tra gli splendori della centro storio è stato facilitato proprio dai consigli del titolare che si sono rivelati utilissimi e che ci hanno permesso di focalizzare l'attenzione su alcuni punti di interesse della città che avevamo trascurato di inserire nella lista delle cose da vedere, ma che si sono rivelati assolutamente imperdibili. La posizione è comodissima ed è davvero a due passi dal centro. E' tutto facilmente raggiungibile a piedi il che contribuisce a regalare un' esperienza piena e rilassante allo stesso tempo.

Tres bien placé
B&b tres bien placé, idéal pour faire à pied Ortigia (à peine 5 mn) et même si on veut le parc archeologique ( 20 mn) Appartement transformé en b&b , déco minimaliste, mais propre. Un grand merci à notre hote pour qui notre bien être est important, qui nous a vraiment bien accueilli et donné beaucoup d explications sur la ville. 2 petits points negatif : par parking gratuit a proximité il faut comprendre parking dans les rues du quartier et les places sont rares. Et hors saison touristique le petit dejeuner se prend au café d'en bas Je recommande fortement

Cet hotel bénéficie d'un emplacement exceptionnel à 2 pas d'Ortigia. Flavio vous accueille en Français et se charge de vous trouver une place de parking gratuit dans une rue à côté. Le service est au petit soin. Le balcon donne sur le port, la rue est très calme. La chambre est spacieuse, la déco minimaliste. Le seul petit bémol est la salle de bain vraiment vieillotte mais très propre. Le glacier en face est au top à petit prix

Ostello
Ho scelto la struttura per tarscorrervi una sola notte, insieme a mio marito e a nostra figlia. All'arrivo abbiamo dovuto attendere oltre 20 minuti perchè qualcuno ci facesse entrare. Le informazioni fornite dalla struttura sono lacunose. Nessuna spiegazione ci è stata data sulla tassa di soggiorno pretesa. L'ambiente non è accogliente, struttura datata, porte scadenti, arredo misero. Abbiamo scoperto solo all'arrivo che il bagno è in comune., per quanto pulito. Le stanze sono calde, a meno di non volere azionare il condizionatore, e molto rumorose perchè il balcone si proietta su una strada trafficatissima, senza tregua. La colazione offerta è inadeguata per tipologia, quantità e scelta. La struttura è un buon ostello ma non merita di appartenere alla categoria di beb, il personale tenta di camuffare tutti i difetti mostrandosi cordiale e prodigo di informazioni, anche quando non richieste.

Camera con bagno in comune
La posizione è ottima, vicinissima al bel centro di Ortigia. Colazione deludente e nel complesso il B&B non era pulito. Sulle lenzuola c'erano capelli. Aria condizionata ben funzionante (al 5° piano altrimenti non saremmo sopravvissuti). Per due notti sopportabile. Non avevamo letto che c'era il bagno in comune con altre 4 stanze.

Grande ospitalità a due passi da Ortigia
Abbiamo soggiornato, in due, per una notte, in questo b&b. La struttura si trova a due passi da Ortigia, al quinto piano di un palazzo. La nostra camera era spaziosissima. I bagni sono in comune, unica pecca, ma sono comunque accoglienti e puliti. Salvo, il proprietario, è una persona cordialissima e ospitale, così come Peppe che si occupa invece delle colazioni. Quest'ultima è servita a buffet e si potrebbe ancora migliorare: I cornetti imbustati sarebbero infatti da evitare. Struttura comunque molto consigliata e buon rapporto qualità/prezzo.
