The cultural city of Syracuse is full of attractions, such as Temple of Apollo and Lungomare di Ortigia, and is loved for its cafes and archaeological sites.
When you can't wait to soak up some sun, head to Mondello Beach— one of the most popular seaside spots in the heart of Mondello. If you want to continue walking by the waves, head to Isola Delle Femmine Beach and Spiaggia di Vergine Maria.
You can stroll along Palermo Harbour for relaxing water views when you're in Borgo Vecchio. If you carry on walking you'll get to Molo Trapezoidale, Palermo Cruise Terminal, and La Cala for some more water views.
If you can't wait to get to the beach, you might enjoy a trip to San Vito Lo Capo Beach in the heart of San Vito Lo Capo. Catch the sunset by the shore at Spiaggia Attrezzata per disabili, just a short walk away.
You might want to get your camera out and head to Valley of the Temples— just one of the landmarks located 1.4 mi (2.2 km) from central Agrigento. Our travelers also love the sacred temples in the area— your cultural tour starts here.
If you want to see a show while you're in town, try and grab some tickets at Teatro Massimo in Palermo Historical Center. If you enjoy the show and want to see another, Politeama Garibaldi Theater, Biondo Stabile Theater, and Bellini Theater are all a short walk away.
If you can't wait to get to the beach, you might enjoy a trip to Catania Beach located 2.5 mi (4 km) from central Catania. Enjoy the sunset by the shore at Spiaggia della Plaia, Lungomare di Ognina, and Spiaggia San Giovanni Licuti Rocce.
This was a last minute booking after a canceled flight and we really lucked out. Easy access with code to enter and the Art Deco decor is amazing. The amenities are plentiful. The small kitchen area used for the included breakfast came in handy in the evening when we crossed the street to buy our dinner and brought it back. I highly recommend this establishment.

A newly opened hotel in great location - close to the beach and restaurants. Very nice and friendly staff. Great pool with excellent view over the sea. The breakfast is quite extensive.

Perfect experience in this new hotel by the Ionian Sea in Ortegia/Syracusa. Great location-walked everywhere. Super helpful staff. Great room with a super modern bathroom. Breakfast was fantastic. Check in is a breeze, car valet works great! It is a beautiful hotel in a great location in the old city!

Beautiful hotel made in a former palace. Our room was the former stunning dining room. The entire place was gorgeous with lots of amenities
Steps from the main square but on a quiet side street

The property is gorgeous and the building is very well maintained. The seaview to the harbor and ocean is serene. There is no noise from the marina or harbor. Staff was very attentive. The rooms were not missing anything. They were generously outfitted with robes, pool sandals, pool bag etc. we had a very memorable stay.

Omg. We just checked out. We miss it already. Our entire stay from start to finish was incredible. The staff made us feel like family. David the concierge made each day so special for us. What a memorable stay he created for us. Alesia at the front desk is so lovely. From the second we made eye contact she greeted us and checked in with us every day. As a hotel General Manager this hotel is 5 stars in every way. Your housekeepers have been trained so well. Cannot say enough about our stay. Thank...

We booked a room in the Rock annex. It was an entire, fully equipped apartment. The Rock annex is located across the street and down about one block from the main hotel. To be honest, other than doing the initial checkin and a walk around, we never went to the main hotel building. The pool is located there and there is a small bar. However, we were not in Taormina to sit by the pool, so it was of little interest to us. The apartment was wonderful! Quiet. Accessible to everything. Best, I was...

My wife and I loved our stay here. We booked it for our last day in Sicily because it was near the airport. But when we arrived, we realized how extraordinary this hotel is. It’s absolutely beautiful—with service to match.
The pool is incredible.
And the staff treated us like royalty. We particularly enjoyed Luigi, our server, and our meals were excellent!
Salvatore, the hotel manager, also went above and beyond for us.
We highly recommend staying here.

The Agilia Ortigia Charme Hotel is absolutely superb. Firstly, we were lost in Syracuse, but when we called the hotel to get some guidance, very nice man name Marchello gave us excellent directions and then met us outside the hotel which was a huge help after a long day of driving in Sicily. After check in, we were given a tour of the the hotel by another hotel employee who was also very friendly. Everybody we met at this hotel was so accommodating and friendly.
