This glorious property located directly across from the sea in the Ortigia area of Siracusa where there are many shops and restaurants has a long history as a grande dame property. The lobby is in the style of grand hotels built many years ago and has an adjacent bar. However, in warm weather, most dining and imbibing activities take place on the hotel’s large rooftop terrace. There is a solarium there and a magnificent view of the harbor filled with yachts and sailboats. All rooms have French balconies and rooms vary in size and shape because two hotels have been joined together years ago. The spa is impressive and is full service with all health and beauty treatments as well as a large indoor Jacuzzi pool. There is also an excellent fitness center. From the port, guests of the hotel can take a little boat across to a little beach and enjoy swimming there. Hotel is open year round and has a game room for entertainment during winter months.
