Once one of ancient Greece’s most important cities, today Syracuse (Siracusa in Italian) is a lively town of about 125,000 on Sicily’s southeast coast. The city overflows with amazing remnants from its long history. Romans, Vandals and Normans are but a few of those who ruled here after the Greeks. In Syracuse’s harbor, Ortygia Island (also called Città Vecchia or Old City) is the site of many of the main attractions, including the seventh-century cathedral and the Fountain of Arethusa.

The villa dominates the site where Cicerone located the tomb of the legendary mathematician Archimedes of Syracuse. It is located 300 mt far from the Archeological Neapolis Park which includes the Greek Teather, the Roman Amphitheater and the Dionysius Ear, in the heart of Grotticelle Necropolis area, traced back to fifth century BC. The Dimora Archimedea was built in the second half of 1800, and it shows different styles due to the owners who followed until today. The actual owner preserved what he found about 15 years ago, restoring every single architectural detail, including the large garden where you will feel the atmosphere of Magna Grecia.
Our hosts were so so helpful - always happy to research things for us and give us information. The breakfast was lovely and filling and our room was beautiful. The location of the hotel is brilliant - right next to the main ruins of Syracuse, and there are even some caves in the hotel garden!

Myself and my partner had our first holiday in Sicily. We had a wondrful time, loads to see and do. The hotel is pleasent, clean and tidy. Our room was basic, but comfortable. I was a little disappointed the pictures didn't match reality. There wasn't a mention of the roof terrace and not all facilities seemed to be available. However, the staff are amazing, super helpful and will do everything they can to make your stay wonderful. I will say, it would be helpful if the hours of check in at reception are noted on the website. We were not notified reception was so limited and last check in was at 7pm. Also, the contact details on Loveholidays is incorrect. This needs to be updated. Our stay was reduced to 3 nights as had to pay extra for another hotel due to reception being closed when we arrived. Make sure you get flights which allow for the check in times at the hotel. Other than this, we had a wonderful holiday and are looking to come back next year.

B&B Resalibera is an excellent choice for travelers visiting Syracuse, offering a family-friendly environment alongside many helpful amenities designed to enhance your stay.

Syracuse is also home to Palazzo Vermexio, a popular government building that is not too far from B&B Resalibera. Enjoy your stay in Syracuse!
An excellent small and very personal B&B. Centrally located for all Ortigia and then across the bridges to Syracuse. Only three rooms- two of which sleep about four. The rooms are beautiful and so clean. Each has its own layout - one with access to a terrace. Breakfast is marvellous and includes homemade cake which is all served to you by the couple who own the B&B. The owners could not be more welcoming nor more helpful. The B&B is in a small square reached by one of the many narrow lanes of Ortigia. The fact that nearby buildings are in disrepair in no way affects the beauty and charm of this B&B.

Location: More or less smack in the center of everything, all attractions in walking distance in a mostly quiet side alley. Disadvantage next parking is 500 m away at 15€/day so schlepping is required. Food: Supermarket 500m away and loads of restaurants around. Room: very nicely furnished with all things inside that you expect from an apartment, clean, enough space. A small nitpick the rainshower was broken. Hosts: We did not meet them but from the beginning to the end very friendly. So why only 3 stars? If the sleep quality is bad then that is the best a review can be. I do not like those TV ready lights in the night, here you have 3 with only one which can be blackened. That is subjective. Objectively is that we had the first room on the lower floor so every moped that starts there has his exhaust actually above your head. Couple this with a bad noise insulation and the fact that you are close to the entrance door that needs enthusiastic closing.. So I recommend the house but I very strongly recommend not to take this room.
