Domus Mariae Benessere

This was such a treat! A BEAUTIFUL building - more salubrious than I was expecting - very quiet and such a cool haven during the heat wave. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was a lovely buffet with cooked eggs to order if you want them. My room wasn't large but ample for just me, with a mini fridge and tea/coffee facilities. The bed was so comfortable, and everything was impeccably clean. Highly recommended - a lovely experience to stay with the nuns!

The location was excellent, right in the edge of town looking over the water and a short walk form the public garage. Also the staff were incredibly kind and helpful, very friendly and accommodating. We were able to use the spa facilities at the sister property the day of our arrival and they were able to get us in for a private visit to the Turkish bath plus a massage.

Perfect location, right next to the seashore in a fantastic building. All the staff were very friendly and helpful and it was nice always having someone to greet you. There were good choices for breakfast.

Comfortable bed, great shower, good breakfast and beautifully decorated hallways and breakfast room. Location across from the water was excellent, as was the rooftop patio.

Located in Ortigia so walkable everywhere. Converted convent on a grand scale. Beautifully furnished with religious overtones. Large selection of breakfast goodies. Staff friendly & helpful. Nuns still live there so occasional encounters.
