Borgo Pantano  

Set in Siracusa’s peaceful countryside, about a 10-minute drive from the Roman Amphitheatre and the Neapolis Archaeological Park. The hotel sits roughly 7 km from the city center and 7–18 km from the Ionian coast and Fontane Bianche beaches. Family-friendly and pet-friendly — a calm base for exploring Syracuse.

This rural retreat has 30 individually decorated guestrooms with minibars, LCD TVs and memory-foam beds topped with down comforters. Private bathrooms come with tubs or showers, designer toiletries and bidets; some rooms may include DVD players. The property leans into a wellness-minded vibe with a full spa, sauna, steam bath and massage rooms.

Two outdoor pools and a poolside bar call for lazy, sun-soaked afternoons. Enjoy the full-service spa, solarium, fitness center, sauna and table tennis/ping-pong areas. Kids get a playroom and an arcade/game room, while the grounds offer a library, barbecue area and concierge services. Onsite parking, transfers, car rental, laundry and multilingual staff keep stays easy.

A business center and event facilities are available for meetings and gatherings. Complimentary wired and wireless internet keeps you connected, and an area shuttle (surcharge) helps with local transfers.

Dine at the on-site restaurant or grab a drink at the bar/lounge and poolside bar. A cafe and alfresco options expand the choices, with a complimentary buffet breakfast served daily from 7:30–10:00 and limited-room-service hours. The hotel also hosts a daily complimentary reception for guests.
