The location and the view is beautiful!! The facilities are great and the surroundings throughout the resort is calm, peaceful and well maintained. Food is lovely and the staff is very thorough, friendly and service-minded. The room were very clean. I love the possibility of the boat to bring you to Ortigia and Siracusa, it was very beautiful.

Fantastic place to stay. Very beautiful resort on a cliff top with both a sandy and rocky beach both with crystal clear water. Only thing I would recommend is that you hire a car as it's a drive to go anywhere else unless you get a water taxi to Ortigia (50Euros for 2 each way). Very helpful staff too.

Minareto is truly an incredible property and a genuine five-star experience. The location is outstanding, with breathtaking views. Every member of the staff went above and beyond to make our stay exceptional, providing service that was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The property has incredible views. I would recommend Minareto without hesitation. It exceeded our expectations in every way.

Beyond the hotel’s stunning and breathtaking views, the customer service was truly exceptional—both attentive and highly responsive. I would easily rate them 120%! I absolutely loved the jacuzzi and its location, which made the experience even more special. Both of the rocky and sandy beaches were unique and incredibly relaxing. Their boat service also made commuting by sea to Ortigia a truly phenomenal experience. If interested, they offer scooter, e-bike, and kayak…

This is a beautiful, peaceful place to stay in Siracusa as a base to explore all the wonderful towns nearby. The grounds and views are stunning. Great staff, wine and food selections. Its great to have a car to explore this region and even more perfect to have such an oasis to return too. Valet parking was included and incredibly prompt. We loved the private beach too!

Front desk staff, concierge, the lifeguard Alexandro, and the site maintenance staff are all so kind, helpful, friendly and attentive. The restaurant was amazing and the service was perfect. They organized a boat into town for us and it was a beautiful boat ride at night both ways. Very nice to see the Ortigia / Syracuse city lights at night. This place is impeccable and they keep the grounds in great shape. The option for the private beach or private rock facing Ortigia is great for morning to sunset sun. The water is crystal clear and there are beautiful caves to explore with lots of small little fish to see. The sand is soft and the wat is is shallow to walk into with virtually no waves at the beach. Very secluded. Such an amazing place.

Nice setting unreliable service

Nice location and rooms. But service was undependable. Room service order did not come, some of our bags were left in our room when we were checking out, car not brought up when asked for.

Surprise upon leaving

This is a nice place with nice rooms and a great location. However, there was an unpleasant surprise upon leaving, when we were presented with a 764euro bill for a wine bottle we drank at the restaurant. The waiter did not inform us about the price of the bottle, which is unacceptable when the price is so high. We ended up refusing to pay the whole amount, but still we payed 300 euro, which was still too much in my opinion. I will not go back to this place.

The Minareto is a very well-located resort with superb views of the ocean and Siragusa. Rooms/beds were very comfortable, although the decor tended to be somewhat gaudy/outdated. Staff was very helpful and friendly, and the location was convenient to the sites in the area.

We loved our stay at Minareto. The food was delicious at all meals, the staff were lovely and we enjoyed the spa. Surrounded by the sea, the views were beautiful with Etna, Siracusa and their private beach. Highly recommended! Would be nice if they could get a English speaking news channel like CNN!

Great hotel. If I could say one thing that was bad is that the surrounding area isn’t great. We had a car so it didn’t matter a bit

Beautiful resort - even better than we were expecting! The staff and services are first class - such a lovely experience. The only issue was that everything from the water, tea and coffee in the room comes with a price tag, so be prepared. But overall if you're looking for luxury in an amazing setting - look no further! Wish we had stayed longer than 3 nights! Amazing stay - we genuinely are looking forward to returning at the earliest opportunity!

Nice hotel on a peninsula . Bit cut off from anything . Nowhere local to go or eat out . Restaurant was lovely but expensive around £200 couple . We were not shown the Wellness area and everything was extra although never even saw it open . A brochure in room with what was on offer would have been nice .Pool and beach was lovely . Jacuzzis we’re too cold to use . Nice for a quiet holiday . Hotel bar seemed to be unmanned you ordered everything on the resort on WhatsApp . Bar area was dead all the time and just to finish it off the boat advertised to take you to Ortigua was 50 euros return per couple ! Such a shame as hotel itself was nice , clean and staff were good . Only stay here if you have a car .
