About the location
Holidays in Syracuse are an immersive voyage of discovery through the ages. Situated on the south Eastern coast of Sicily and surrounded by the Ionian Sea, Syracuse is one of the most important towns in Italy for its architecture, monuments and art. From ancient Greek origins, the history of the town spans the Roman Empire and successive Saracen, Norman and Spanish invasions. Today, the peaceful atmosphere, with its natural beauty, stunning coastline and historical diversity, will seduce you too. The town is an ideal base for couples and families with a passion for cultural travel.
Under the Sicilian sun, retrace ancient civilisations through the flagstone paved streets lined by warm stone buildings, where unique statues and evocative relics are to be found around every corner. Take advantage of the slow pace of life and take the time to check out the inspiring range of restaurants, shops, bars and street markets. This maritime town, tracing nearly 3000 years of history, provides an unforgettable backdrop to an inspirational and fascinating holiday at any time of year.

This is a four star hotel. It is well located, 15 minutes walk from the station. About 5 minutes onto Ortigia. It is in a beautifully restored palazzo. High ceilings. Clean room and bathroom. Excellent breakfast in a beautiful dining room. Very good WiFi.
But…………
It is noisy. Very noisy.
I was awoken at around 2 a.m. The sound of voices reverberates off the stone walls and floors. The footsteps of people walking in reception sound like a drum. Furniture being dragged around, sounding like fingernails dragged down a blackboard. Other random noises at irregular intervals. This went on until well after 4 a.m.
Then, it all kicked off again at around 6 a.m.
I would not stay here again.

Well situated and with most of the facilities you would expect. Enjoyed our breakfast. The location is quite central but there is a great deal of traffic in the area. Has a central courtyard open to the environment that could have been nice but it was unclear how to get any service.

We stayed here for 2 nights booked by our tour operator: Esplora Travel. It was a good choice of hotel for the location. The room was clean and spacious enough and the breakfast varied. There is a pleasant lounge area where we were able to gather with our group and have a drink.
