Charming Suite with Original Frescoes – Exclusive Suite Just 5 Minutes from Ortigia.

There are places where you simply stay, and places you truly experience.
Stepping through the threshold of this suite means entering an authentic historic Sicilian residence, where the charm of the past meets contemporary comfort.
Located within an elegant period building on the prestigious Corso Umberto I, the suite has undergone a meticulous restoration that has brought to light the splendid original frescoes on the vaulted ceiling, the true stars of the room.
The ceiling, over four meters high, lends the room extraordinary brightness and a sense of spaciousness. From the bed, you can admire the elegant frescoed scene that dominates the vaulted ceiling: a rare detail that transforms every morning into a unique experience.
The furnishings have been carefully selected to highlight the historic elements of the residence. The powder-pink hues of the walls, the contemporary furnishings with clean lines, the refined decorative accents, and the greenery of the plants create a harmonious balance between elegance and authenticity, allowing the frescoes to take center stage.
The bedroom features a comfortable double bed made up with fine cotton percale sheets, designed to ensure a restful night’s sleep.
Adjacent to the bed is a cozy living area with a dining table, ideal for a leisurely breakfast before exploring the city, while the practical kitchenette is equipped with a refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, and everything needed to prepare light meals on your own.
The large window, adorned with elegant linen curtains, leads to the historic balcony overlooking Corso Umberto, one of Syracuse’s most iconic avenues and a natural link to the island of Ortigia.
The private bathroom, finished with antique Sicilian cement tiles and a spacious glass shower, complements the space with a refined, contemporary style. Soft terrycloth towels, a hair dryer, and complimentary toiletries are also provided.
Every detail of the suite has been designed to offer a relaxing stay in a setting rich in history, where the restoration has successfully preserved the building’s soul without sacrificing modern comforts.
