Hotel The Ortea Palace Luxury Hotel is a magnificent building from 1920, known as “Palazzo delle Poste” in the historic centre of Syracuse, on the splendid Porto Piccolo of the island of Ortigia, just a few steps from the best monuments, restaurants and shops of the city. It is a “must” for those who seek complete relaxation, with the certainty of discretion and attention to every detail by staff. It’s more than just a holiday, it’s a journey into elegance and history. Elegance and refinement in the 75 luxury rooms and suites at the Ortea Palace. Bright, spacious and welcoming interiors, Italian design furniture and precious curtains that recall the shades of blue sea, green, pearl gray and cardinal red.
