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 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!

Exceptional hotel and property. Spacious beautiful grounds. Lots of areas to relax in comfort. Large swimming pool with many shaded chaise lounges. Well appointed, very clean rooms. Spa facilities are available. The breakfast buffet was truly extraordinary. Dinners were also exceptional. Wonderful meals that were beautifully presented. You feel relaxed and calm while on the grounds of this superb hotel. The woman owner, Giusi Orefice, is present at the meals to ensure the highest level of guest experience. She is quite gracious and friendly. The staff (including Claudia) are all very well trained, friendly and happy to help you. Staying at this hotel is a wonderful experience.
