Algilà Ortigia Charme Hotel

Syracuse


This sophisticated property occupies two adjacent baroque palazzi, the main one channelling Sicily's Arab heritage with its riad-inspired courtyard, Tunisian tiles and kilims. Although standard doubles are quite small, they're thoughtfully designed, balancing Sicilian antiques with contemporary comforts, including high-quality bedding, free mini-bar (non-alcoholic drinks only) and Bulgari amenities. Beautiful common areas include a lounge inside a 14th-century courtyard.

Valet parking costs €25 per night.
