not very much

The fridge was tiny and under stocked.

Location is perfect! The room is just the right size for a couple. View is stunning. Breakfast is displayed very nicely. If there is anything small/additional you need with breakfast you can ask and they will try their best to accommodate. Host was lovely.

Surprising that it’s a B&B but you had to pay extra for the breakfast and that it wasn’t included.

convenient with a great view.

The mattress was pretty flimsy and squeaky.

The hotel is in an historic building with a lot of old world charm. They were great to accommodate check in and out times. and let us stow our bags after check out. Breakfast was plentiful. We stayed in the romantic suite. After all the stairs, you were rewarded with a port view terrace, and a very romantic room. The bathroom has been nicely updated. My husband is strong, so carrying the bags up all the stairs worked for us. But could be hard for someone with mobility issues.

Great location, super cozy room (the romantic suite with own balcony and sea view)! Amazingly friendly staff helped with everything from parking registration to tips of what to see, where to eat, where to have a drink and even helped us book a table in the restaurant of our choice. Breakfast was fresh and tasty and parts of it varied every day. Served on our balcony. One couldn't ask for more. :)

The location was fantastic and Ortigia was magical. Unfortunately, there was no breakfast due to Covid procedures. There may be specific regional requirements, but other places we stayed in Sicily still offered breakfast, so that was a surprise. The parking was easy to find and the owners were friendly.

It would have been really nice to have had at least coffee on the premises, in the mornig. I realize covid has taken turns in day to day operations, but really would have been a lovely asset for AM. coffee to have been provided.

Simona is a wonderful host. So very helpful, accomodating, and a lovely lady. She steered me through some minor bumps I had along the way, prior to my stay. I so very highly recommend B and B Porta marina.

This was easily one of the best accommodation experiences I have ever had - all because of Porta Marina and Simona. She went above and beyond to help me- honestly don’t know if I could have done the trip without her! She helped me figure out how to take the bus directly from Palermo to Siracusa, even sending me the link, and saving me 2 hours by not taking the train! Then I got in, and I was attending a wedding - she helped me book a manicure appointment, a COVID test, and even helped me get ready! The BNB itself is charming and clean with fantastic wifi - I took multiple meetings with the US there flawlessly. The location is great, and Simona gave me tons of recommendations and my own personal tour of what I should do since I had a short day with the wedding. Honestly - the whole experience was wonderful and I would 100% recommend staying here! I hope I can come back!

We could at times hear the sounds from the street and other guests,however it wasn't so disturbing.

We loved the hospitality, the very useful tips about local highlights. The host was very nice and helpful. The location was excellent, close to the centre of Ortigia and in a charming neighbourhood.

I strongly recommend this B&B. Location is perfect, the apartment on the uppwr floor with private tarace has breathtaking view! Location - perfect. Great breakfast. And the last but not the least, Simone is amazing hostess! From the very begging she is very helpful, gives the best recommendations and definitely makes you feel at home!
