Experience a stay like no other at the distinguished Borgo Pantano, a beautiful manor farm erected over 150 years ago and restored in 2009. The hotel is in the peaceful area of Cozzo Pantano, roughly 7km outside the inner city of Syracuse. The attention to detail exuding from the building reveals the passion and knowledge the owners have of the area, making it obvious the property is family run. The Borgo Pantano is split into two sections, with both sets of rooms encapsulating the bucolic charm of south east Sicily with its choice in minimalist design and locally sourced furniture, manufactured by Sicilian artisans. Guests can enjoy strolls through the verdant green gardens, whilst stopping to take a dip in the large swimming pool. Given the clear show of appreciation for Sicilian culture and heritage, it is no surprise that the hotel can organise a shuttle service to Syracuse centre; here you can gain a further understanding of the origins surrounding this diverse island by visiting some of the top attractions, like the Greek Theatre.
The hotel has 32 rooms (official rating 4 star). Minimum stay 3 nights during July and August.

We???ve just returned from a truly special stay at Hotel Borgo Pantano ??? our first family holiday in 10 years with my parents (Il signor e la signora Frank) kicking off what we hope will become an annual tradition with our older kids. And what a place to begin.
From the moment we arrived, it felt like home ??? only better. The service was exceptional throughout, with every member of the team leaving a fantastic impression. Guisi, the owner, is simply unforgettable ??? warm, generous, and full of heart. She made us feel as if we???d known her forever. Francesco, along with the entire dinner team, was outstanding ??? professional, friendly, and always attentive. Suyi kept the coffees coming at breakfast with a smile, and Agata???s cocktails were a highlight each evening ??? creative and delicious.
The cleaning team were second to none ??? incredibly thorough and thoughtful. Every part of the hotel, from the gardens to the rooms, was beautifully maintained, and the atmosphere was relaxed, welcoming, and full of warmth.
Borgo Pantano has certainly earned a place in our hearts. Thank you to the entire team for such a beautiful, memorable stay.

I stayed at this hotel in June 2025, after having already visited this place last year in August 2024. The property is beautiful, and is spread out over a large area of land which is full of greenery. The rooms are spacious, clean and modern, and each is equipped with good AC which is needed during the hot summer months, The breakfast is also great and includes a very large selection of savoury snacks, sweets and a large fruit selection. We stayed by the pool on each day of our stay. The pool is very well maintained. We also dined at the poolside restaurant, which offers great food. The owner, Giusi, is very welcoming, and is there to greet guests every morning at breakfast, which makes you feel very welcome. I would also like to mention Davide, who worked at the poolside bar - Davide was very helpful and accommodating with all our drinks orders, and made our stay at this hotel even better. I would definitely visit this hotel again in the near future!

Anyone traveling to southeastern Sicily owed it to themselves to experience this gem of a property. The bucolic grounds are meticulously landscaped. The properties huge and green and includes a gorgeous pool which fits in perfectly to the orange trees and grass. The restaurant is elegant. The food is delicious. The staff is professional. Breakfast is a feast. It changes daily. There???s a table each for fruit, baked goods and savory items such as cheeses, meats, eggs, salmon and many surprises. Gouda the owner is very personable and greeted us every morning at breakfast. The room we booked was stylish and comfortable. I wouldn???t hesitate to return.

What a fabulous place. We had such a wonderful time. The Hotel is beautiful and the food is amazing, fine dining. We only booked bed and breakfast, planning to try different restaurants. However, we were drawn back to the hotel each evening fur the delicious dinner. Jose and her team are all so warm, friendly and helpful. The gardens and pool area is so spacious we felt we had the resort to ourselves. There are a selection of sun loungers and seating , I think we used them all. One day we walked to the nearby nature reserve, where we observed beautiful butterflies, dragon flies and birds.
We used the shuttle bus on three days, for us to explore Syracuse, Ortigia and Noto, catching a bus and returning by train from Syracuse.
The reception staff are do helpful . A big thank you to Eleanor, Paula, Claudia , the three Francesco's, Alberto and Raymond for making our stay so memorable.
The only suggestions we have would be for more hooks in the bedroom/bathroom to hang our towels and bathrooms. Also we would have liked an earlier shuttle bus to get to Syracuse before it hit too hot. However we were very grateful for this facility. We cannot wait to return . Thank you all souch

We stayed at Hotel Borgo Pantano for three wonderful nights with a small tour group. It was by far our favorite stop in our 2 week tour of Sicily. Not only are the grounds of the hotel a lovely, relaxing oasis, the wonderfully trained staff were a delight to interact with. As many other reviewers have mentioned, the breakfast is the most elaborate one I've ever experienced in Europe and all of our meals were delicious and memorable. However, my highest praise goes to the owner, Guisi who personally oversees the staff and interacts with all of the guests making everyone feel like family. She even rushed to a bakery to fill a special request when my son called to ask that they surprise me on Mothers Day with a delicious Sicilian Cassata Cake. That's superior customer service! Thank you Guisi!
