Pluses: Beautiful hotel & setting - it must have been amazing in its day. Didn't use the pool but it looked v modern, clean & quite big. Negatives: Our room was small with no view & it was a std room so ok, fair enough. BUT our bathroom absolutely stank of bad drains. The extractor didn't work, the toilet flush stuck, the room was in a poor condition & the bath didn't drain properly. We had to keep the bathroom door shut to try & stop the smell getting into the room and as the aircon was centrally controlled & not cold enough, it was awful. This room (bathroom) needs fixing & not sold again until it is done - it really was bad- such a shame. I did report to housekeeping & front desk - the hotel was full. Drainage & smelly bathrooms seems to be not uncommon in Sicily but this was beyond the pale Breakfast was also a bit manic but it is a big hotel but not v relaxing

A lovely and charming historical hotel in a quieter neighbourhood outside the centre. We enjoyed a leisurely breakfast and relaxing by the pool and walked in to the old town at Ortigia every day, it’s about half an hour if you are used to walking. The pool is very nice and there are plenty of sun beds, no need to reserve. All the staff were extremely friendly, polite and helpful, from the front desk to restaurant, bar, housekeeping and pool bar. The air conditioning can be quite noisy but we eventually figured out how to adjust it and switch it off, and the reception staff were also very helpful about found this remotely for us as an alternative solution. The grounds are impressive and it’s a short walk to a sea view, cycle and walking or jogging path north along the coast, and even closer to the Zen solarium platform where you can book sun beds and swim in the sea (down steps into rocks, not a beach). Grand Hotel Villa Politi has everything you need for a pleasing and relaxing holiday, especially if you don’t want to be right in the thick of the bustling old town but have more room to breathe.

The rooms are really nice, smaller than pictures, but nice. View was ok, small porthole in a Concrete wall. Pool was great, breakfast was amazing. Staff are very friendly and attentive. We had a car so it was 7 minute drive to parking outside Ortigia every evening plus we did day trips to Noto, Catania, Marzemeni, Brucoli. Parking was easy and convenient. Great value for the price. I would stay again. We rented a self captained boat as well, coast is beautiful, and we ate every night in Ortigia. We split our time between Syracusa-Ortigia and Taormina.

The hotel needs to be updated and a big paint job.

The hotel is situated in a wonderful location, with beautiful surroundings that made our stay particularly enjoyable. The breakfast was a little below our expectations, and some of the amenities could benefit from updating. However, these were minor issues, and overall we had a very pleasant stay and would happily return.

It’s a great hotel with free parking. Location is very convenient. One thing not so great is that there isn’t any coffee machine, kettle or any other standard equipment. For this level the hotel is, it is very unusual. Other than that, it’s not a bad one.
