A Mediterranean way of hospitality.
Syracuse │ Sicily
Waking beneath vaulted ceilings, a work of art catching your eye on the way to breakfast, a quiet moment in the shade of the palm. Within Palazzo Gargallo di San Gaetanello, Ortigia's history becomes part of your holiday.
A terrace for relaxing outdoors, a living room to share, a comfortable seat in which to lose yourself in a book. Distinctive rooms and suites, shaped by the Palazzo, with the same care for your rest.
A Simmons bed with a topper and your choice of pillow. Fresh, filtered air, with temperature and humidity regulated throughout the seasons. Everything contributes to one simple pleasure: a good night's rest.
A refreshing swim, a book in the shade. Medieval twin-light windows and an ancient well enclose a setting of unmistakably Mediterranean intimacy. Then evening comes: the stone glows, reflections fill the water and conversations linger.
You encounter paintings and sculptures in the sitting rooms, along the passageways and in the privacy of your own room. The gallery invites you to continue exploring, among contemporary works and figures that tell the myths of Syracuse.
An encounter with an artist, a day under sail, Mount Etna with a volcanologist. Your guides are people we have known and trusted for years. Yours is the pleasure of being surprised.
Wander through Ortigia's lanes, step inside a palazzo, pause beside the sea. Continue exploring the archaeological park and museums of Syracuse, or experience the thrill of classical drama at the Greek Theatre. Each day, the pleasure of following your mood.
