Our only regret is that we only stayed here one night. For the most part, we received incredible service throughout southern Italy and Sicily, but this hotel was far and away the best of the best. The checkin process was like a diplomatic reception! The charm of the hotel lies in the staff and the green physical surroundings, not so much the interior or room layout, which were nice and functional. The breakfast (featuring many homemade Sicilian treats, including amazing almond granite!) was unforgettable. Then there's the small public beach about a block behind the hotel.... the water there was so blue, clear & calm, it was like a giant swimming pool. We didn't want to stay right in the bustling heart of urban Syracuse, so finding this relaxing little oasis for our last night in Sicily was like a dream come true. And it actually has genuine off-street parking! Swoon.
