Wellness & Spa Hotel Principe di Fitalia  

On Sicily’s Ionian coast near Syracuse, a short drive from the sea and Arenella Beach. Close to Castello Maniace, Fonte Aretusa and the Museo Regionale. Family-friendly and pet-friendly resort-style hotel with a complimentary beach shuttle.

The property feels like a modern wellness retreat with individually decorated rooms and a laid-back, stylish vibe. Rooms feature minibars, espresso makers, memory-foam beds with premium bedding, bathrobes and slippers, and 40-inch LED TVs. Bathrooms offer rainfall showerheads and complimentary toiletries, and some rooms open to pool-facing views.

Recharge at a full-service spa with massages, body treatments and facials, plus a sauna, steam bath and solarium. Swim in two outdoor pools and an indoor pool, unwind in three hot tubs, or tour the attached winery. Fitness fans get a gym, yoga area and diving club, while families enjoy playrooms, ping-pong and picnic spots. Concierge, babysitting (surcharge), free self-parking and a 24-hour front desk keep stays easy — wake up to sea-breeze mornings and head straight to the shore via the complimentary beach shuttle.

A business center and about 1,938 sq ft (180 sq m) of conference and meeting space make this spot event-ready. Wired and wireless internet is complimentary throughout the property.

Dine at the pool-view restaurant serving local Sicilian flavors, grab a drink at the bar or poolside bar, or order 24-hour room service. A complimentary buffet breakfast is served daily from 7:30 AM to 10:30 AM, and the on-site winery adds a local wine touch to evenings.
