“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.”
