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).

Today, the peaceful atmosphere, with its natural beauty, stunning coastline and historical diversity, will seduce you too.

We stayed for two weeks at the beginning of September and had a truly wonderful holiday. On arrival we were upgraded to a suite with private terrace. The room was exceptional, lots of storage and a well planned layout.
Hotel grounds were beautiful, lots of private areas to hide away and enjoy the peace and quiet, the pool areas were thoughtfully planned and immaculately maintained.
As the other reviewers have mentioned, breakfast is magnificent, everything freshly prepared each morning with love and care. Thanks especially to Lucia for the amazing cakes and pastries.......
Too numerous to mention all by name, but special thanks to Kristina for the many fabulous restaurant recommendations, and the ever effervescent Manuela who always made us smile. Giusi, the owner must be extremely proud of her achievements and all the positive reviews. The jewels in the Borgo Pantano crown are all the wonderful staff who made our stay in Sicily so memorable.

The hotel, the rooms, the garden, the pool and the food.
The food is absolutely amazing. Especially the breakfast. It is extraordinary and I???ve never seen such a diverse, creative and delicious breakfast. Again, you can really see that it is made with so much love and passion. Also great for vegans. They were so kind to prepare really delicious extra vegan food. I was even treated with vegan ice cream by Manuela at the bar (Thank you!)
The staff is extremely lovely, friendly, caring and just wonderful.
Can???t recommend this hotel more.

This hotel is 15 min by car from Ortigia. Rooms are very comfortable. The pool is very nice: 3 areas, differentiated by the depth. The site is very nice, personnel very helpful. Very complete breakfast: the best we???ve had during our 10 days in Sicily. Lunch and dinner are reserved in a nice area next to the pool. The only downside is the lunch we had. Only average. But it was more than compensated by the site, the pool, the people, the room and the breakfast. Overall, we recommend.

We have been travelling to Italy for quite some time, but this property is the best place we have ever stayed!
The staff is amazing, always ready to help and accommodate any wish you might have.
The property is beautiful, well maintained (unusual for many properties in Italy). Rooms are spacious and clean. We stayed with our two kids and they enjoyed every minute of it by spending time at the pool and in the kids club.
The breakfast simply perfect - as many reviewers have already stated so nothing more to add.
We look forward to coming back to Borgo Pantano.
