Antico Hotel Roma

Syracuse


Within steps of Piazza del Duomo, this pretty, pink-hued palazzo offers rooms of varying appeal; deluxe rooms with wood-beamed ceilings and patterned parquet floors are the winners. Double-glazed windows keep the rooms quiet and the staff are wonderfully friendly and service orientated. Parking at a nearby garage will set you back €25 a day.
