Hotels near Tempio di Apollo, Siracusa

Large room, comfortable bed and friendly staff

Many good hotels are often either mostly beautiful or comfortable. Palazzo Artemide is an amazing combination of both. Beautiful stone walls, arches and high ceilings, together with optimal comfort where great thought had gone into small details ....made this our favourite hotel for years, in spite of other strong contenders. But the staff!!! Here is what puts it into an exclusive category. We have never met such friendly, helpful and efficient hotel employees . Such fun,too, they felt like family. Each guest has a dedicated worker to look after their interests and well-being......at least that was what it seemed like to us. We were fortunate in getting Andres, an intelligent, fun and highly empathetic young man with excellent English. He even came to the pharmacy with me to explain the symptoms when my husband needed some medication, as well as spending a long time helping us plan our future trip. Such service! We loved the. 'terrible twins" (both called Robert).Robert always had a big smile for us and a joke, and the sympathetic manager Roberto obviously does his job excellently, to explain the warm feeling among his staff. The highlight of the day was the delicious and varied breakfast, taken outside on the spacious terrace with a lovely view over the cathedral, and helped by friendly staff. This hotel is more than just somewhere to stay......it was a whole experience.

The location is perfect in the Ortigia , in the old town of Syracuse with beautiful seaside location and the best sunset view from the rooftop bar and restaurant. Fantastic breakfast with wonderful choices reflecting the real Sicilian tradition of food.

A beautiful hotel and a great location. Staff could not have been more helpful.
