Reviews Astrea

juliane

The communication with the host was friendly and uncomplicated. My apartment had a different address than on the website, so I had to walk a little bit longer from/to the train station. For one night it was perfectly fine.

Very good value for a short stay near all the tourist sites. Practical bathroom. Clean bed linen. Secure and private parking. Welcoming host. Italian-style breakfast in a pastry café.

Quite noisy due to the neighbors, internet connection almost non-existent, connection only in the bathroom, otherwise nice welcome and pleasant stay.

Attention, there are 2 addresses for Astrea. The unofficial one is noisy (busy street) and the isolation between the apartments is not perfect. It takes 20 minutes to get to the old city center of Syracuse. The owner remains available. Breakfast is in a bakery 100 meters away which is good and very enjoyable. Parking is free and next to the apartment.

Good welcome from Alessandro. Well located accommodation next to the ancient ruins of Syracuse, and not very far from the center, about 1km to Ortigia. Parking without too much difficulty on the streets or nearby parking. Spacious rooms and good bedding, breakfast with a warm welcome in a bar 80m away, bathrooms a bit chilly in mid-season because the radiators do not work, air conditioning in the rooms ok.

The operator is only seen briefly during check-in. Suspicious high-rise building with no elevator. Constant noise in the room. Breakfast at a nearby coffee bar.

stayed from 05/26/2023 to 05/27/2023

The 'Astrea' is located on the third floor without elevators, this is the only negative aspect. Otherwise, it is excellent.

The place is quiet and with easy parking. Very close to the archaeological park and the center of Ortigia. The manager is very attentive. Too bad it's a fourth floor without an elevator.

A preface: This has never happened to me before. I made the reservation (room with private bathroom) six months in advance... Result: I had to endure staying in another room with an external bathroom (smelly and dilapidated)! Why did the manager decide this? The breakfast included in the reservation was no longer included because the bar where it was supposed to be served had closed (according to the manager). In all this, I had contacted the manager by email a few days before arrival to confirm my presence and agree on the check-in procedures: I never received a response, except the day before by phone, because I contacted him. One piece of advice: Avoid! P.S.: A riddle that is hard to solve: Why is such an establishment listed by Bed-and-Breakfast.it among the "Top BnB"? MYSTERY!

stayed from 07/24/2025 to 07/26/2025

The answer from the host:
Caro ospite le avevo spiegato che l'errore della camera era in buona fede Non ribatto punto su punto perché le altre recensione spiegano molto più delle mie parole. Capisco la sua frustrazione a fronte del mio errore, ma come spesso accade trovo eccessivamente penalizzante il suo commento. Una considerazione la voglio fare circa il prezzo. AVETE PAGATO PER UNA QUADRUPLA CON BAGNO PRIVATO 45 EURO AL GIORNO. Prezzo scontato per supplire al mio errore, ma non è bastato.

olga

The room is spacious and especially away from sources of noise and traffic. It would be useful to have a mirror and some accessories in the bathroom, but overall it went well. Alessandro was very helpful and allowed us an early check-in. It's also easy to find a parking spot because there are no blue stalls or ZTL! Breakfast at Bar Neri where we chose a piece of fresh ricotta cake with a good coffee. We will come back.

giuseppe

Terrible. Bar 500 meters away for breakfast. Insufficient breakfast. A coffee and a croissant. Supplemented with 2 cappuccinos and a croissant at our expense. Dirty shutters. Wrinkled towels. Not even a bottle of fresh water, in this heat, the bottle costs 20 cents. Room on the fourth floor. All stairs. Unironed sheets. Nightstand in the bathroom with rusty legs. Shower tray without anti-slip. The convenience near the theater does not mean there are inconveniences.

Grazie per la vostra gentilezza e poca obbiettività Circa cilasione è tutto opinabile se voleva un banchetto forse doveva pagare di più circa la stiratura se me ne avesse parlato le avrei spiegato che la lavanderia ci ha restituito tutto lavato ma non stirato quindi un piccolo disguido L'antiscivolo in bagno è anti igienico non dovrebbe essere presente. Ultima questione le scale sono menzionate nella descrizione se non legge non è colpa mia.

The structure has an excellent location: a few steps from the most important sites (Greek Theater, "P. Orsi" Museum, Catacombs of San Giovanni). Friendly and kind manager. Rated with full marks. My wife and I will come back.

Great location for those wanting to attend performances at the Greek Theater. Otherwise, spacious rooms, private bathroom outside the room, impeccable cleanliness. Rooms are quiet even with other guests present. The building where the property is located, however, is rather neglected. Breakfast at a nearby café, very friendly manager.

stayed from 05/09/2025 to 05/11/2025

The manager is very helpful, excellent hospitality and transparency regarding what is listed on the site.

antonino

Positive: The price is economical, (4 people, breakfast included) and I did not give a deposit for the reservation, the apartment is close to Ortigia (center) and the archaeological area. The affiliated bar for breakfast has a kind and nice manager, the coffee is excellent and the pastries are good. Negative: The bathroom always emitted bad odors, the shower was "old-fashioned", there was only 1 towel for the bidet, upon request we received 2 more + 1 for the face. The shutter did not close completely and there were small holes open letting light through. The other guest smoked and our room smelled a bit on the first day.

I did not know Syracuse, it was the first time I visited and I must say that I was fortunate to stay with my wife and our son in this splendid B&B in a central position near the most important monuments and tourist sites. We were pleasantly surprised by the extreme cleanliness of the room and bathroom, which is fundamental for us, and by the attention to detail in the furnishings. We highly recommend it also for the low and extremely convenient price.

Convenient location but on a very busy and noisy street. Good breakfast, although at a bar 50 meters away. The property is not located at the indicated address. Many problems encountered: humidity in the walls, broken plaster in some areas with huge holes behind, very dirty air conditioner (unhealthy air), small and poorly utilized room, there was no wardrobe, only drawers and shelves (a chest of drawers was added in front of the shelves!). In the bathroom, all the metal parts are rusty, the door handle would come off in our hands with each use. And I could continue. Experience to forget.

stayed from 09/29/2024 to 10/03/2024

The answer from the host:
Grazie per aver condiviso la vostra esperienza. Mi spiace sempre quando gli ospiti riscontrano così tante mancanze. Comunque siete rimasti 4 giorni e non mi avete fatto notare nulla che non andasse. Quindi mi chiedo perché aspettare. Personalmente avrei chiesto un cambio camere se avessi riscontrato così tante mancanze. Comunque per essere obbiettivi La camera non è umida il condizionatore viene pulito una volta al mese e l'intonaco staccato in bagno e causa degli ospiti precedenti che hanno rotto il cartongesso.

paola

The property is located in the city near the archaeological sites of interest, in an area with services and connected to Astrea by bus and shuttles. Astrea can be reached in about 15 minutes. To reach the beaches, a bus or car is necessary. The beaches of Astrea can also be reached on foot.

The structure looks good, but could improve in the details. There is a kettle, but there are no cups and coffee or tea. There is a fridge, but it would be nice to find a small bottle of water. In the bathroom, there are missing support bases, there was a hairdryer but the adapter was missing to make it work. In short, small adjustments that would enhance the quality of the B&B. Excellent location for the theater of Siracusa, next to the Paolo Orsi museum. In front of the house, parking is easily found. Alessandro, the owner, was very kind, he recommended us some great restaurants to eat.

Convenient location to reach the Greek theater. The Ortigia area is easily reachable by bus that passes very often or on foot if you want to take a walk. Super helpful owner.

mirena

We were kindly welcomed. Clean room. Breakfast not served on site but we had to go to a nearby bar, still included. Only issue: room on the third floor, luckily they helped us with the trolleys. They had also offered us the possibility to move to another room on the ground floor in another structure, but we did not accept because it was farther from where we had parked. Difficulty in finding parking.

The structure was spacious, excellent for the stay of two people. The manager was very kind, courteous and available for any requests, all kept with care. The neighborhood is quiet and the distance from the center and Ortigia is about 15 minutes on foot. A property that has few rivals in terms of quality-price in Syracuse.

Upon our arrival, the kitchen and balcony were not clean. There was a bad smell in the room and bathroom. The owner was cold and unwelcoming! The apartment's location was quite convenient.

stayed from 08/31/2023 to 09/03/2023

The answer from the host:
Cara ospite siete stati accolti in un appartamento da poco ristrutturato la cucina è un area comune, quindi dipende dagli ospiti tenerla pulita noi possiamo fare la pulizia alla fine del soggiorno circa il rapporto qualità prezzo pagare 25 euro a persona in agosto direi che un buon prezzo, per camera con bagno in camera e colazione. ma se siete abituati al 5 stelle forse dovreste farvi meglio i conti.

I stayed for one night at the b&b Astrea. This time I was in a room in a renovated apartment, all with new furniture. The kitchen was equipped with a refrigerator. The location is close to the Sanctuary and the Greek Theater. Breakfast is at a nearby bar. When I return to Siracusa, it will be my reference b&b, hoping to find a spot.

The room, very spacious and clean, corresponds to the photos. The bathroom is very large and equipped with everything necessary. Just outside the structure, there is the bus stop for the tourist bus that goes to Ortigia and Syracuse. About 10 minutes away, with a quiet walk, you reach the archaeological area of Neapolis where the Greek theater is located. Alessandro turned out to be an excellent manager, super helpful and welcoming. I definitely recommend it and hope to be able to return soon.

The structure is well renovated, equipped with every comfort.

Comfortable and convenient B&B. We only stayed one night to attend the performances at the Greek theater, very close and easily reachable on foot. The owner was courteous and helpful. The three rooms are simple, essential, and very spacious. Absolute silence and comfortable beds. Independent heating and air conditioning. Breakfast more than sufficient in a dedicated room. Important to know: The apartment is on the third floor without an elevator. One room has an en-suite bathroom, while the other two have a large bathroom each, but in the corridor. We had a great experience and will gladly return.

We were hosted by the very kind manager in a brand new facility on Via Teocrito, in a very cool and quiet, spotlessly clean room. Excellent location, in front of the Sanctuary, next to the Archaeological Museum, a stone's throw from the archaeological complex of San Giovanni, a few minutes, walk from the Theater, in front of bus shuttle stop n°2, which reaches the terminus, Molo Sant'Antonio, from where n° 1 goes to Ortigia (single ticket - duration 90'; no need for a car).

It is just a few steps from the theater, reachable on foot, 5 minutes from everything, shops, commercial activities, and 15 minutes from Ortigia. There is the possibility of parking freely near the property, in a quiet neighborhood. Excellent quality price ratio.
