This accommodation had a great location, central and close to great restaurants and sight seeing. The staff & service was excellent. I did not have the breakfast so I can't speak to that. The room quality was average. Needs an update/refresh. Street noise was very loud on busy street and difficult to sleep soundly.

Ear of Dionysius from inside. One of the most famous targets on #Sicily. Bit overrated for me to be honest.

Archaeological Park of Neapolis
The Roman amphitheatre of Syracuse is one of the best preserved structures in the city of Syracuse, Sicily, from the early Imperial period. Between the arch and the amphitheatre, there was a monumental fountain, fed by a large cistern which has not yet been identified. A separate cistern provided water to the amphitheatre itself - it is preserved under the nearby church of San Nicola.
