Caportigia Boutique Hotel ★★★★★

History seeps from the very stones of Syracuse’s ancient buildings. As you stroll the cobbled streets of the Old Town, or wander the several hundred metres from the harbour to the Caportigia Boutique Hotel, you are treading on the very stones walked by its ancient rulers - Greek senators, and the elegantly sandaled and bejewelled feet of the aristocracy have stepped on these stones. Eyes long gone have gazed on the same golden glow of the sunshine on honey-coloured stone, and hearts like yours have been lifted by the sight of the sun’s sparkle on the eternal Tyrrhenian Sea.

Luckily for you, traditional pleasures are complemented by modern comforts, and as your own elegantly sandaled feet step into the cool and welcoming interior of this boutique hotel, you will feel even more at home. A famously warm Sicilian welcome awaits you. In your room, whether you have chosen a Classic, Superior, or Junior Suite Deluxe Room, you are instantly surrounded by elegant and modern décor, different in each room but all sharing typical Italian flair and local colour.

This is the ideal starting point for your exploration of the ancient city, but the hotel will tempt you to linger awhile before setting out. What could be more enjoyable than savouring some sparkling Italian wine on the terrace? And what could be more peaceful to balance the excitement of sightseeing than a quiet dinner in the hotel’s delightful restaurant?

There’s a lot more to Syracuse than its history; the Caportigia Boutique Hotel has made its mark, too.
