Nature enthusiasts will delight in the walking trails that meander through the reserve, offering a chance to explore Sicily's natural beauty.

Immersive experience. You won't want to leave!
Time, beauty, nature, peace. All blend harmoniously at Villa Syracusia, creating an immersive experience that

The only challenge is you won’t want to leave!

Immense historic building tastefully renovated
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...

Could have spent the whole day at the villa
Incredible renovated Sicilian villa with amazing views onto the bay of Syracuse and the Mediterranean ocean.
Everything is new, with wonderful design elements. Bedrooms are spacious. Fantastic views from almost every
room. Kitchen is glorious and we enjoyed preparing family meals in it. Could have spent the whole day at the villa
enjoying the pool and view but instead took advantage to use the villa as a base for a number of easy to reach visits
including the city of Syracuse that is just 15 minutes away. Surrounded by nature, we enjoyed the wild coastal
walks from the villa along the rocky coast and swimming in an amazing beach just minutes away.
Grazie! Will definitely be back.

Magnificent views. Everything cared for in detail
