Property Details

The Apartment Hotel "Alla Giudecca" is located on the island of Ortigia. Originally part of a Medieval mansion, the elegant suites are ideal for travellers who seek a hotel of superior class in the heart of Siracusa, a few steps from the sea. The extraordinary stone masonry, the arched passageways, the exposed ceiling beams and the canopy beds all contribute to the romantic, unique ambience of this location.

The internal furnishings, intentionally minimalist, were chosen to preserve the authenticity and elegance of the original structure. Guests may also use the reception rooms, which can host up to 150 people. Beneath the mansion, it is possible to visit Europe's oldest Mikvah (a special bath for Jewish rituals), dating from the Byzantine period. It is the treasure of this hotel, which is itself a jewel.

Local Area Details

Syracuse is the product of its history: a history that started three thousand years ago and is evident all over to anyone who looks closely. From the Ionic Greeks to the Normans, from the Arabs to the Baroque and to Liberty, in the elegant, somewhat laid-back old town-centre, every street corner has a story to tell of the eras Syracuse has seen, first as enlightened sovereign of the whole of Sicily, subsequently as a desirable, and finally conquered prey. Today it belongs to the world heritage centres of UNESCO. The island of Ortigia (the oldest centre, a real art treasure), the archaeological site, and Maniace castle are among the places that should definitely not be missed; not to forget the fish-market and the sea-front. Towards Floridia, the interior offers chances to relax in splendid rural settings, and to see the amazing blossom in winter.
