Beautiful hotel and wonderful service, we had a fantastic stay in Siracusa! The breakfast was amazing, the rooms were comfortable and spacious, and we had a perfect view of Ortigia and the sea from our balcony. Incredible pool, free parking on site, beautiful grounds and convenient to get into Ortigia — what more can you ask for?

We loved the Villa Politi, a grand hotel with a very interesting history. The guest areas are spacious and the pool beautiful. The only concern we had, the dinner service was a little slow due to large tour groups dining, the staff were under pressure. We would have also appreciated tea/coffee making facilities in our room. We would definitely stay there again.
