Huw's View

Hotel Borgo Pantano is ideal to enjoy the peace and quiet of the countryside yet be close enough to visit the Baroque city of Syracuse and the beaches in this historic and beautiful area of Sicily.

Although originally a farm, the owners have cleverly renovated the buildings and created contemporary accommodation within the old walls with a choice of guest rooms and suites to suit both couples and families.

Perhaps most famously, the city of Syracuse is home to one of the greatest ancient Greek theatres dating back to the 5 th century BC and large enough to hold an audience of up to 15,000. This theatre draws history enthusiasts from all over the world and is still used to this day in the annual Greek theatre festival.

With other attractions such as the 3 rd century Roman amphitheatre and the archaeological museum as well as an abundance of shops, restaurants and bars, Syracuse is well worth visiting along with the rocky Necropolis of Pantalica which together are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
