Palazzo Artemide Ortigia (Syracuse), Sicily Set in the heart of Ortigia, the small island that forms the historic centre of Syracuse, Palazzo Artemide is perfectly positioned for a few days’ exploration of this cultural and historical destination. Dating back to the ancient Greeks, the entire city of Syracuse is today a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and home to a mindblowing array of historic monuments. Housed in a beautiful pink 19th century building (a new build almost by local standards), Palazzo Artemide offers 40 elegantly furnished rooms and suites with high ceilings and Juliet balconies overlooking Piazza Minerva, Via Roma or the tranquil internal courtyard. The hotel’s outdoor terrace on Piazza Minerva is perfect for drinks and light meals combined with a spot of people watching, while the hotel’s Roma restaurant serves up Sicilian cuisine under a very impressive stone vaulted ceiling. Saranta Suggests... A walk through the alleys and squares of the island of Ortigia reveals centuries-old beauty with sights like the Temple of Apollo, the oldest Greek temple in Sicily, and the luminous Cathedral which dominates the elegant Piazza Duomo.
