Algilà Ortigia Charme Hotel

4 Star Siracusa, Sicily

Set within two beautifully restored Baroque palaces in the heart of Ortigia, Algilà Ortigia Charme Hotel is a 4-star superior boutique retreat just steps from the sea.

The Overview

In the heart of Ortigia, the ancient island soul of Syracuse, Algilà Ortigia Charme Hotel occupies two restored Baroque palaces that have watched over these streets for centuries. One holds a beautifully kept fourteenth-century courtyard and staircase, opening onto the old Mastra Rua where Siracusan nobility once lived. Step through the door and you feel it straight away, the sense of a place with real history and real soul.

The hotel is a mosaic of fifty-four rooms, each one different, each thoughtfully designed with a warm Mediterranean touch. Some open to views of the sea, and the deluxe suites come with a private terrace and a jacuzzi where you can soak under the Sicilian sky. It is elegant and characterful without ever feeling formal, the kind of place that invites you to slow right down.

Dining is a pleasure here, with a sea-view restaurant serving Sicilian and Mediterranean flavours and two lively bars for an aperitivo as the light softens. Mornings begin with a generous continental breakfast, and little touches like free bicycles, valet parking and round-the-clock room service make the whole stay feel easy and personal.

Best of all is the setting. You are only steps from the water, and the whole of Ortigia is on your doorstep, its Baroque squares, its bustling market, its ancient Greek temple and its winding lanes waiting to be wandered. It is the perfect base for discovering Syracuse and the treasures of eastern Sicily.
