“Set within ancient Sicilian quarries, this grand hotel offers a unique historical ambiance. The distance to the main attractions might be a consideration, but free parking and the draw of the island's largest outdoor pool offer their own appeal. I particularly appreciate the regular happy hour events-a nice touch after a day of exploring Syracuse.”

clean pooldisappointing buffetadditional cost

The pool was big and very clean. Lots of lounge chairs were available. I found free parking very convenient.

The breakfast buffet was disappointing. A lot of cakes and sweets were offered. I was surprised to see a daily additional cost for a "premium breakfast". It included items you would expect in a normal breakfast.

I found a bus stop conveniently located right outside the hotel, it made traveling very easy. The pool was nice and it was large with many sunloungers. Breakfast had delicious cakes and pastries. meats and cereals.

the room we had was very dark! very noisy at 7.00 am in the morning considering we paid 140€ a night.
