Villa Fanusa  

On Sicily’s sun-drenched southeastern coast, a restored 1897 villa sits in the Plemmirio natural oasis just a few miles from Syracuse. This pet-friendly villa is steps from Fanusa Beach and a short drive to Terrauzza, Arenella and Punta Asparano, with Castello Maniace, Fonte Aretusa and the Museo Regionale close by.

A small, renovated villa set among olive trees and Mediterranean palms, with terraces, a garden and poolside relaxation areas. There are 14 guestrooms with minibars, flat-screen TVs and private bathrooms (many with bidets); some rooms offer DVD players. Expect classic island character updated with modern comforts.

Seasonal outdoor pool and solarium, poolside bar and a bar/lounge for laid-back evenings. Bikes to rent, a diving club nearby, picnic areas and an attached winery add local flair. Free self-parking, complimentary Wi‑Fi, airport shuttle (surcharge) and a daily complimentary buffet breakfast (8–10 AM) round out the practical perks—wake up to sea-breeze mornings and then hit the beach.

Conference hall and meeting space available, plus luggage storage, dry cleaning and a safe-deposit box. Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected during work or play.

On-site restaurant, bar and café serve local Sicilian flavors alongside poolside drinks; an attached winery and nearby Cantine Gulino deepen the foodie angle. Start the day with the complimentary buffet breakfast and sample regional specialties in the evening.
