Location
The large farmhouse's privileged location, its proximity to the sea and quiet countryside environment allows its guests to spend an unforgettable holiday, characterised by relaxation and culture. The local area was once an agricultural centre but these activities have now died down. Many of the buildings still display evidence of the area's agricultural past. The hotel is, in fact, just a few kilometres away from the island of Ortygia and the historic centre of Syracuse, with its striking Greek theatre. The hotel is around a 5-minute walk from local public transport links and approximately a 15-minute drive from the railway and bus stations. The beach at Fanusa and coast at Plemmirio are around a 25- and 15-minute walk from the establishment respectively. The Archaeological Park and the Plemmirio protected marine area are around 5 km and 1.5 km away from the hotel. Catania Airport is approximately 60 km away.
