This property is located at the edge of the sea. It is a very special location. Sabrina is a wonderful host; she is friendly, warm and generous. I felt like a guest in her beautifully appointed home. The breakfast preparation was beautiful and I observed many guests (including myself) taking photos of the sumptuous display. We went swimming in the sea and sat on the balcony watching the waves wash over the rocks. It’s a stunning setting. I was sad to leave and hope to have the opportunity to visit again.

The seaside setting and views are gorgeous and the breakfasts better than some 5-star hotels where we have stayed but what really sets Giuggiulena apart is the warm welcome and matchless hospitality that hosts Sabrina and Claudia provide to their guests.

Sisters Claudia and Sabrina and their attentive staff were excellent. The rooms had amazing views, the swimming off the rocks was into pristine waters, and the rooms were comfortable and stylish. What made us change plans and stay two more days was the friendly staff and the sumptuous, homemade breakfasts with savory and sweet delicacies made by Claudia. I am a swimmer and went down the coast a half kilometer or so and felt safe. The Ionian Sea was crystal clear and stunning. We attended “Medea” in the ancient theater and it was great too. An all around wonderful time!

We had a lovely stay and the staff is just amazing, thank you so much for your hospitality. Ortigia is just a short drive away and the view from the balcony / breakfast area was breathtaking, plus amazing cakes and the best scrambled eggs we had for ages. We can't wait to come back to this wonderful place. Isabella & Chris

Beautiful sea view and lovely people
Wonderful place where you will wake up everyday to a glorious sunrise over the sea lapping below you, and a gorgeous breakfast on the terrace. Team at Giuggiulena are friendly, calm and very happy to help you have a wonderful visit to Sicily. Property is simple but has all you need and nice extras like beautifully fragranced rooms and toiletries. While it is a ~20 mins walk to main tourist spot, I recommend staying here because you get the location right on the sea and is less congested. There are many taxi companies that use WhatsApp if you need lifts but the walk is easy and safe from our experience doing it many times day and night. Enjoy.

The B&B is directly beside the sea and have unforgettable views from the room. The breakfast area also have panoramic windows that elevates the whole breakfast experience with an incredible landscape of Syracuse and the sea. We received the kindest hospitality from Sabrina who took care of us, giving us great recommendations about the area, maps, directions and parking tips we could not have known without her help. We left a jacket behind before we left and Sabrina contacted the shop we were visiting to alert us, and we were able to circle back and pick it up later. I hope that I can be back in the future!

The villa was magical in its setting on the sea. The views were simply spectacular from any angle. Sabrina, Claudia & Mamadu could not have been more accommodating or friendly. We were truly made to feel at home. While not in the centre of Siracusa, getting around was easy to master. The delicious breakfast was plentiful and carefully prepared. We look forward to a return visit given our positive experience.

5* experience
Giuggiulena has basically everything I want from a holiday experience. The service is one of a kind. Sabrina and Mamadou really couldn’t do more to make guests feel welcome and taken care of. The personal touch was in everything from we arrived until we left, with a sandwich to go for our early bus transfer to Palermo. Need help with booking anything, adjust parasols, have a sun bed set up on the cliffs? They provide it. With a smile and a laugh. The housekeeping was perfect. The time she took to make everything flawless in our room, bathroom and our private terrace, was something you don’t necessarily experience on 5-star hotels. The hotel itself is beautiful, with large windows overlooking cliffs and the sea. It only have a few rooms (nine?), so it’s never crowded our noisy. It is a 15-minute walk from the centre of Siracusa. In addition to the opportunity to enjoy sun and swimming from a sun bed on the cliffs, they also offer a roof-top terrace, which we had to ourselves most of our 5-nights stay. Beach towels are provided for free. Giuggiulena will be my first choice for accommodation next time I go to Sicily.

No words can describe this property. Beautiful, right by the sea, they have used best quality - whether it is furnishing or bedding or anything that is there in the facility. I would describe this property as a 5 star boutique hotel rather than a B&B place. Utmost care and friendly owners and staff. Best experience - they made our holiday a memorable one. Awesome hospitality.

Sabrina and her staff were excellent. Rooms were clean and comfortable. You are literally hanging over the ocean with such a dramatic view. Breakfast is very good. The area that the hotel is in is a 15-20min walk from town and is somewhat rundown and in need of repair. However, the actual property is very comfortable.

Mediterranean seaside beauty and calm
The hotel and room were beautiful, overlooking the sea . The bed and room were exceptionally comfortable and clean and the hostess and staff friendly and helpful. She even helped me set up a guided tour to Noto at the last minute, and gave great directions to the achieological highlights in the area, with map. The breakfast was appreciated. The only negative is the road it is on is not great for walking, but fortunately only about 1km to a superb bike/pedestrian only path of 6km along the sea. In the other direction 1-2km to town/Ortiega. It was worth the walk for us to be out of the super busy town area.

Property with THE VIEW+++++
Most amazing host and staff. Made us feel at home and helped to get around the most important sights. Comfy rooms nicely decorated with Sicilian flavour. Ortiga within walking distance. Very good breakfast where everything is freshly home made by the hosts. What a treat! And then there’s the view! Sea view rooms are a must, but there’s also nice balcony and roof terrace. Floor -3 rooms are pretty much in the sea! Fantastic.

A Taste of Paradise
This beats most 5 star resorts as far as experiences are concerned. Sabrina and Claudia made us feel a part of the family from the minute we met. The rooms were spotless and the view is indescribable in words - an uninterrupted view of the blue sea and the sound of the waves "sloshing" against the rocks. You could stare at it for hours from dawn till dusk with a calming effect on your soul. Not many properties could boast of such a spectacular view as Giuggiulena. Then comes the breakfast - what a spread! and the aroma of Claudia's fresh baking (both savoury and sour) will give Masterchef a run for its money. My mouth keeps watering thinking about it. Location wise, it is perfect. A short 15 minute walk to Ortygia if you want to explore the history and culture of the island. Sabrina and Claudia also recommended amazing restaurants for lunch / dinner in Siracusa itself which will make your tastebuds tickle with delight. We were there for 5 days and I cannot than kSabrina and Claudia enough for making is feel at home and part of the family. If you want a taste of paradise, this is it! I will be back again...and again...and again...Thank you Villa Giuggiulena!

a lovely welcoming hotel
Just arrived back from a great stay. This B&B ticks all the boxes for friendliness, comfort and good food. We had a balcony room looking immediately out to sea. It was spotlessly clean, large, well appointed and quiet. The bed was a comfortable king size as well. Giugiulena is about a 25 minute walk from the tourist area of Ortigia, however, there is a hopper bus stop which goes into town every 30 minutes and the staff can advise on taxis. There is also a fairly good restaurant and bar 50 yards up the road. Breakfasts are generous, diverse and continental. Bruschetta, pies, vegetables, cereals, fresh fruit and homemade cakes are available everyday, as well as an endless stream of tea and coffee. It is worth knowing that you can access the sea from the hotel and footwear is provided to protect your feet from the rocks. My husband swam every day. There is also a garage for parking but it is an extra cost.
