Nice, clean and comfortable room on the fourth floor of an apartment building. Our host, Giovanni, sent us plenty of excellent information by WhatsApp prior to our arrival,then met us at the front door of the building to take us up to our room (there is a lift). The whole place is tastefully decorated with a clean, modern vibe and,as the name suggests, beautiful photos adorning the walls . The room itself was fairly compact but still had a 2 door wardrobe and a good size balcony with table and chairs. A kettle and teas were supplied on request and a light continental breakfast was served each morning in the bright and airy breakfast room. The only minor thing was that my wife said her side of the bed creaked when she moved but at least it didn't wake me up! Loved it.

A very good value and well located

Giovanni was an excellent host, helping us find the hotel, making sure we were comfortable and knowledgeable about the ins and outs, good recommendations on dining and activities. The room was well appointed, clean and the bed was comfortable. A to-go b-fast would have been nice for our early departure.

Pleasant room, good breakfast, good location. On busy main road with some traffic noise. We arrived on a bank holiday and had to park the car about 1km away. Our large external window shutter was very heavy to lift up.

We loved our stay with Giovanni. His communication before our stay and after was really helpful, including guides for where to park and what to see in the area. We also went on a boat trip he recommended which was really good. The room was spacious and comfortable and quiet considering its location in the town. Everything was clean and easy to use. The breakfast each morning was plentiful and served at a set time with the other guests. The location makes this B&B great as you don’t need to use your car. We would stay here again.

Love the location. Easy walk to the main attractions. Our host was very nice, helpful, and breakfast was good if you opt for it. There is hit or miss street parking, but it is safe. Also a pay garage is near. The photography by our host is spectacular!

10 out 10 experience!

We had an amazing stay at the the Photoguest! Giovanni our host was incredible- and happens to be a gifted photographer hence the name of this hotel. Giovanni provided us with lots of wonderful tips, including 2 restaurants that were a real treat- giving us a real taste of Sicily. We appreciated his excellent hospitality and all the little extra bits of help. Highly recommend this place. Very clean, quiet, comfortable bedding. Don’t hesitate to book this place it’s a winner! Great location too- we walked to everything easily!

We really enjoyed our stay and Giovanni our host was extremely helpful. The location is close to Ortigia island so when your car is parked for free near the hotel you can walk to the island and enjoy the sights and the restaurants. Breakfast was very nice as well!

What a great location. We were central to so much. Both Ortygia and Siracusa. The B&B is in a condominium building in a very walkable neighborhood. We arrived on a Sunday afternoon so street parking wasn’t easy to find but we got a spot across the street and were able to leave it there for the duration of our stay. Giovanni was welcoming, easy to communicate with and gave great suggestions to make our stay in Siracusa better.

B&B is in a great location. Walking distance to Island of Ortigia with lots of restaurants and shops to choose from. Host/owner Giovanni is very kind and accommodating. Note: there is no parking on premises. You need to find free parking on streets surrounding the building, if not there is paid parking available at a parking garage next door to building. Only complaint we had were the towels, which were worn and smelled moldy. Overall great location with updated/modern rooms.
