LOCATION

Four Star Accommodation

The Royal Maniace Hotel Siracusa entertains a fantastic location in the historic city centre of Syracuse as well as sitting on the seafront overlooking the Ionian Sea. Guests will be awed by the breathtaking views and overall beauty from the hotel’s rooms’ windows. Beaches are but a few kilometers away for enjoying the warm days under the Sicilian sun, and evening strolls along the seaside offer peace and relaxation after a day’s worth of sightseeing or fun under the sun. Travelers can spend their days at the many beaches in and around the area, or wander through the small historic streets admiring the ancient treasures the city has to offer.

The best way to get around the island is either by car or by bus, the train system in Sicily isn’t very developed and can prove to be frustrating. We recommend our Guests to reach Ortigia by small vehicles, given the charming but challenging joint of narrow one-way streets! Once you have left your luggage at the hotel, in the absence of parking along the Lungomare, you can park for a fee at about 1 km.

Since then it has passed through Roman times all the way up to the present day, offering a rich variety of culture and architectural transformations making it a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
