“This luxury hotel is housed in a 1920s building in the historic centre of Syracuse. Rooms are elegantly furnished in a regal palette; the stand-out Tower Suite offers panoramic sea views from its bay windows and two balconies. Be sure to book in at the indulgent hotel spa; a decadent seaside stay.”

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.
