Often thought of as the heart of a city, town squares are usually thronging with life and unique characters. See what's going on at Piazza Archimede and look for clues to its long history.

This public square is on the to-do lists of many travelers to Ortigia. But Piazza Archimede isn't the only drawcard here. Cathedral of Syracuse, Temple of Apollo, and Castello Eurialo are some other interesting sights close by.

Excellent throughout. Close enough to enjoy the city center (15mins by car) and beach (20mins by car), without getting caught up in the hustle and bustle of crowds. Exceptional staff, both caring and informative.

Beautiful hotel and great location! Only thing I would say is to make sure the air conditioning is functioning properly in the room, besides that we enjoyed every minute!
