We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful hotel, we needed some quiet and relaxation so perfect for us, everything well thought out to meet your every need and very clean, amazing choice at breakfast with hot and cold options, the staff were wonderful, so helpful and friendly we felt right at home. The resort was very quiet with very few restaurants and bars but we were out of season, if the hotel restaurant had been open we would have eaten there but we would definitely return again when travelling through Sicily.

A little gem of a hotel with wonderful staff. They were all so friendly and helpful. Room was lovely with pretty outside area. Beautiful garden and pool area. Excellent breakfast. Would highly recommend.

All staff were very professional and friendly, took time to understand our needs. Breakfast was excellent, good range. Evening meals good but limited menu. Good location near a very nice beach and easy to get around by car

A lovely, comfortable, relaxing hotel, a stone's throw from the beach. with a lovely pool and gardens. We were welcomed with a cool drink and given information about Syracuse and other towns to visit. This was all explained and places of interest marked on a map for us. Also, there were tasty home-made biscuits and a jelly sweet in our room on arrival. There was a kettle and tea and coffee too. Guests are actively discouraged from talking on their mobiles around the pool and when eating. We enjoyed a lovely meal at the hotel's Sicilian evening. The staff are genuinely interested and so smiley and helpful.

Lovely, well kept grounds and gardens. Friendly, helpful staff. Excellent and delicious breakfast, the best we've ever had in a hotel. The dinners were very well prepared also. Small, intimate hotel. The room was small but comfortable. Nice little balcony with a drying rack for beach things. The beach offered good swimming, very close by.

Perfect spot for exploring Noto, Siracusa and the other surrounding towns and beaches (car essential but free parking at hotel). Good hotel staff and excellent breakfast, restaurant on site very good and not expensive. Our only negative (as others have commented) was the thin walls between rooms - you can hear muffled voices, light switches being turned on, and doors being opened and closed; we were lucky because the people in the room next door were not particularly loud but this will not be the case for all (and because they are a small hotel that’s often full it’s unlikely you’ll be able to move rooms).

Our only regret is that we only stayed here one night. For the most part, we received incredible service throughout southern Italy and Sicily, but this hotel was far and away the best of the best. The checkin process was like a diplomatic reception! The charm of the hotel lies in the staff and the green physical surroundings, not so much the interior or room layout, which were nice and functional. The breakfast (featuring many homemade Sicilian treats, including amazing almond granite!) was unforgettable. Then there's the small public beach about a block behind the hotel.... the water there was so blue, clear & calm, it was like a giant swimming pool. We didn't want to stay right in the bustling heart of urban Syracuse, so finding this relaxing little oasis for our last night in Sicily was like a dream come true. And it actually has genuine off-street parking! Swoon.

A lovely hotel run by lovely helpful people Great breakfasts Beach two minute walk away Beautiful gardens

The staff at Villemare is wonderful. They are so kind and friendly. They make you feel so welcome. It was a wonderful stay.

Wonderfully friendly, helpful, friendly staff - always willing to assist with local information, meal suggestions and ready to talk. Beautiful, peaceful gardens with plenty of space to find a quiet corner (although the hotel itself has a 'low noise' policy). That said, there was a family staying while we were there with a toddler who were made to feel very welcome too. Would recommend to everyone.

My husband and I lucked out in booking three nights in this charming small hotel in mid-May 2019 in the Fontane Bianche area of Siracusa. Our room opened onto a garden patio, and there were other garden sitting areas tucked into the landscaping and pool areas. The staff was extremely gracious and patient in helping us plan trips to nearby Marzamemi and Noto and the Siracusa archaeology park and museum, supplying us with maps and personal recommendations of not-to-miss neighborhoods. They printed a personal business document for us at no charge. The only downside was that restaurants in walking distance weren’t yet open for the season; luckily, the hotel restaurant serves dinner. Guests staying in the summer will have more dining options, and weather will be warm enough to enjoy the hotel’s private beach. We highly recommend this lovely hotel with its outstanding, winning staff.

Attentive and enthusiastic staff, but not over-bearing. The gardens and pool area were lovely and well-cared for. Room was very comfortable. A real gem of a hotel.

Superb hotel with amazing staff who made it an absolute pleasure to stay here would highly recommend!

Lovely small hotel. Wonderful breakfast. Well kept gardens and pool area. Be better if out door pool was heated.

Lovely welcome, very child-friendly, the beach is literally around the corner and we loved our day trips to Syracuse, Noto and Taormina. Breakfast was also excellent, with ample supply of cappucino and creamy home-made yoghurt. Great choice of continental-style breakfast items and fresh juices. The garden is an oasis of peace and calm.

This lovely little hotel is quirky and charming and the staff are friendly and very helpful. I stayed early in the summer before their restaurant was open but they directed me to a lovely beachfront restaurant 10 minutes walk down the road. A very relaxing venue for a long weekend.

Very nice English speaking staff. Great breakfast, and dinners. Close to the public beach. The "town" location was odd though.

The position of the hotel - near a lovely beach - was perfect. The welcome and care from staff were warm and sincere. Breakfasts were fabulous. We were delighted with our four night stay there.

Friendly and helpful staff. Easy to locate in a small resort. Close to good beach which was quiet in off-season. better options for food at local restaurant short walk away

This is a quiet boutique like hotel. The staff are very friendly and helpful, the hotel was very clean and comfortable. The food was very good and whilst we did try other restaurants in the area the hotel food was the best. The swimming pool was clean and very well maintained, and the gardens were very pleasant, quiet and plenty of sun loungers and seating. We went in June when not all of the resort was open, which did not affect our stay, but those looking for a more lively resort may be disappointed. Syracuse was about a 20 minute drive away for more restaurants and Ortigia was well with a visit.
