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).

Just cannot get enough of this place. We normally like to discover new places but i do not know what it is about this place as we just keep coming back. The grounds are beautiful and immaculately cared for. The decor was so well thought through that it wears very well with time. On top of all this, the staff! A great team and hats off to their team leader; you are doing a great job!

We came back to this hotel and it was a pleasure to enjoy this amazing breakfast again. The staff is super friendly and the swimming pool includes facilities are marvellous.
This time we give one star less as the hotel should invest tin the bathroom facilities. The bath rooms need a renovation or intense cleaning. Our bathroom was quite smelly.

Beautiful property, and very child friendly. The staff (with no exceptions) were all very welcoming, friendly, professional, and accommodating. Nothing was too much bother for them and whatever our request, this was seen to immediately, efficiently, and above all with a "Yes of Course" attitude, and with a big smile. The owner, Giusi, is very much present on a daily basis greeting all guests at breakfast, and serving each and every guest personally from the Buffet. If you are travelling with young children, rest assured that the staff will assist with all your needs and your children will constantly get attention and smiles from all the Staff. If you want to know the true meaning of Hospitality and 5 star service, book a stay at this beautiful Hotel.

What a beautiful, peaceful setting with excellent customer service. My first very positive impression was when I unexpectedly received a message asking if I need dinner given my late arrival. I was then welcomed by the extremely kind, helpful and friendly Manuela at the front desk. The breakfast was out of this world in terms of the choices. The two swimming pools are very pretty and I was grateful for the smaller ones to escape to some quiet time as the main pool happened to have a lot of cute but loud toddlers, which is nobody???s fault. The room was white and decorated tastefully with perfect air conditioning and a safe. I appreciated that there was a shower I could use after sunbathing after I had already checked out. Parking was ample and easy. Manuela again went above and beyond at check out in helping me with my bags. I intend to return for some relaxation and pool time.

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.
