Minareto, Syracuse

Sicily

★★★★★5 star

Occupying a tranquil location on a promontory overlooking Syracuse and Ortigia island, the exclusive beach resort of Minareto is set within the protected marine nature reserve of Plemmirio, and enjoys outstanding views and a private beach just below the hotel.

Set amid palm, olive and carob trees are bungalows housing the elegantly furnished rooms and suites, and a plethora of rooms are available with a choice of classic, contemporary and art deco styles; all featuring a balcony and sea views.

There are also villas with private pool and garden available. Tantalising Mediterranean cuisine is featured in Nesos restaurant and, during warm summer evenings, al fresco dining is offered on the roof garden terrace overlooking the bay.

The swimming pool is surrounded by a sun terrace, and during the summer, the private sheltered beach below the hotel offers an idyllic sunbathing spot.

The cultural centre of Syracuse, and Ortigia, the latter joined to the mainland by three bridges, are both within 15 minutes' drive.
