★★★ Hotel Gutkowski, Siracusa, Italia

Located close to the main attractions of Syracuse’s historic centre, Hotel Gutkowski offers sea views and is made up of 2 ancient buildings, once used by local fishermen and artisans.

Refurbished in a modern style, yet respecting the Sicilian tradition, the hotel features natural tones, welcoming interiors and a friendly atmosphere.

You can start your days with an inclusive buffet breakfast of homemade cakes, yoghurt, cheese, eggs and hot drinks.

Each room in this historic property differs slightly from the others, based on its location in the building. Some rooms at the Gutkowski Hotel have a sea view; others, quieter, overlook the surrounding roofs or a typical ancient street.
