Fresh and good quality breakfast every morning." - "Everything about our stay at Puleera was amazing - from the homemade breakfast to the exquisite dinners.

- "Perfect location, stunning design and wonderful host. The hotel is at 2 min from the main pedestrian road and main sights. We found a parking (free) in the road, just in front of the entrance. The rooms are on the first and second floor ( with lift) of a renovated building. All rooms are different but have an equal great mix of old structure (high, decorated ceilings) and elements of modern and very tasteful design such as in the bathroom and the lights. Wonderful breakfast on the terrace with fresh fruit, yogurt cereal, fresh juice, ham & cheese and a memorable granita & brioche. The host advised us on restaurants and kindly gave us an upgrade so that both parties of our group could be on the same floor. We very much enjoyed our stay. Highly recommended"

- "The location is extraordinary in the middle of a wonderful wood. The owner and the complete team are awful nice and we will never forget the time with this team. There are occasion's in your life you can not buy with money. For example, we've been invited to the Rifugio St Barbara for lunch, in the background a fire-breathing vulcano and in front of us the best Salsiccia in Italy (thanks to Peppe). Best you will try it by your self because as the some poets found out already a long time ago: "It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye". Therefore visit Locanda Milia and feel it."

- "I am very happy we did book this hotel. From the arrival to valet parking to check in with a welcome drink, everything was smooth. We were very happy staying at this hotel. The room we booked has a good space. The sheets were luxurious, I am very particular with the thread count. The luxurious Ortigia scent is all throughout the property and of course its bath line is being used by the hotel. The breakfast location is amazing, you have the 90 degrees view of the sea and the spread of choices is enough. Everything is locally made which is unfortunate for us that we cant buy the lime and orange jam that they served because it is delicious. The inner courtyard garden was a surprise. The location of this property is perfect. You will feel at home on this place, the people working at this property is very hospitable. We would love to come back and stay more!"
