Castello Maniace played a key defensive role during its time. Now a historic attraction, you can just imagine some of the spectacles its mighty walls have witnessed.

Situated in Ortigia, this history-filled fortress is worth including in your schedule. But you'll find lots more to explore in this area. Cathedral of Syracuse, Temple of Apollo, and Castello Eurialo are within easy reach of Castello Maniace.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (190 reviews)

We had such a lovely time at this property. It is so beautiful- the buildings, the grounds, the pool, the beach, everything. We enjoyed wonderful massages and facials at the charming spa too. Breakfast was delightful, the restaurant for dinner was good, but the menu was a bit limiting for our family of 5. Rooms are clean and large, but I suggest they introduce more special, more unique toiletries like many high-end hotels in Italy. That special touch always seems to make the experience smell and feel better, especially when in the spa too. I highly recommend this property!
