Ortea Palace

A magnificent Mussolini-era post office transformed into an opulent light-flooded palace commanding the bridge that crosses from the town of Syracuse to the island of Ortigia. The heart and soul of the hotel is a luminous glass-roofed salon, occupying the courtyard where postal vans once used to load.
