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.

This is a super place to stay. We visited right at the end of their season but all of the facilities were still available including their restaurant.
You are immediately made to feel welcome and they really get hospitality, which is clearly driven by the owner Giusi. She is like the proverbial Mr Ben, popping up at dinner, breakfast and even our departure wanting to make sure everything is just so.
She takes such a pride in the resort and she even arranged a special dessert for my wife.
Our room (on two levels) was very trendy with a jacuzzi bath and a very comfortable bed and roof terrace.
The gardens are extensive and the pool would be at home in a much bigger hotel.
Highly recommended.

What an amazing hotel! Lovely welcoming atmosphere from the whole staff. The hotel is incredibly well run by the owner Giusi. The rooms are beautiful and we LOVED the stunning gardens with their double beds, loungers and many more places to relax, either around the beautiful pool or far from it.
Families are extremely well cared for, with an amazing breakfast, a beautiful playground, two pools including a heated one which our children stayed in for hours, and many more amenities. We certainly hope to come back soon!

Mancavo da due anni.
L???ultima volta credevo di aver vissuto un???esperienza meravigliosa, e, si sa: dopo qualche tempo le cose rischiano di cambiare, quasi mai in positivo.
Non qui.
Il posto ?? riuscito a migliorarsi ulteriormente. La cura per i dettagli, il ricevimento, il ristorante, la colazione(!!!), tutto, dico TUTTO PERFETTO.
Un luogo dove entri ed esci trasformato nello spirito, nel cuore.
Questo posto ha qualcosa di magico. Magico come la dolcissima direttrice/proprietaria, Giusi, eccellente interprete dei desideri di viene ospitato.
Borgo Pantano non ?? un luogo per una semplice vacanza, ?? un???oasi per l???anima.
GRAZIE!!!
English:
I hadn???t been back for two years.
The last time, I thought I had already experienced something wonderful ??? and, as we know, after some time things often change, rarely for the better.
But not here.
This place has managed to become even better. The attention to detail, the warm welcome, the restaurant, the breakfast (!!!) ??? everything, I mean EVERYTHING, is simply perfect.
A place where you walk in and come out transformed ??? in spirit, in heart.
There???s something truly magical about this place. Magical, just like the lovely owner and director, Giusi, who has an incredible gift for understanding what her guests need.
Borgo Pantano isn???t just a holiday destination ??? it???s a sanctuary for the soul.
THANK YOU!!!

Extremely pleasant and helpful staff. We had problems with the car hire and they went above and beyond to help. I am 80 years old and this is the nicest hotel I've ever stayed in. Fantastic food and service. Lovely room. Beautiful gardens, lit at night. Pool great but water cold! There is nothing negative to say about the hotel, other than it's about 8km from Syracuse and you need a car. Highly recommended.

Excellent hotel. Staff were brilliant and the facilities were great. Peaceful if a little out of the way location. Shuttle into Syracuse was really useful but could be more flexible. Breakfast spread was impressive for its variety and the vast array of options. Evening meals in the restaurant near the pool have you lots of choice and most dishes were well made and tasty with some invention and creativity. Best of all we???re the fantastic staff. Courteous, friendly and attentive, loved our stay!????????????
