Set in a rural location amidst olive and citrus trees, the Hotel Il Podere is a renovated farm with a stone façade dating back to the late 1800s, sited six kilometres from the centre of Siracusa on the south- eastern corner of Sicily's Ionian coast. This two- floor hotel features 25 guestrooms with soft decor in earth tones, with antique furnishings reflecting the style of late 19th-century country villas. Modern amenities include air conditioning, televisions, minibars, direct-dial phones, slippers and bathrooms with complimentary toiletries.
Guests can sunbathe on loungers on the patio and cool off with a dip in the large outdoor pool before strolling among the fountains, wells and olive and citrus trees of the 12,000-square-metre gardens. In the evenings guests can enjoy drinks and a game of pool in the bar or relax in the reading room. The traditional Il Podere restaurant features exposed stone walls, archways and antique-style furnishings, and offers authentic Sicilian dishes prepared using local produce. Multilingual staff at the 24-hour front desk can advise guests on the local area and guests with business needs will benefit from business services and conference facilities that can accommodate up to 60 people.
