Villa Syracusia, a dream come true. We loved Syracuse as a family for its culinary, seaside and cultural treasures. However, Syracuse will forever be remembered by our 6-star stay at Villa Syracusia. This immense historic building tastefully renovated offers modern comfort in a classic decor and a breathtaking view of the bay of Syracuse. The blue of the sea and the activity of the port make it a privileged place in absolute calm. Its charm and space wonderfully express the Sicilian Dolce Vita and lunches and dinners Mediterranean dishes on the terrace are a real treat. We can't wait to go back one day...
