Giuggiulena in Syracusae (Italy)

The Giuggiulena Hotel, ranked as a bed and breakfast in the tourist literature, is a shelter carved into a cliff overlooking a bay off of the ocean on the east coast of Sicily, in the city of Siracusa. It is an almost self-contained environment, a serene and visually beautiful oasis, where you hear only the lapping of waves from the sea, as if you were on a secluded island in the middle of nowhere. The hotel is a little piece of heaven, a cocoon engraved inside a rock overlooking the ocean. Actually, its on the other side of a bay, facing the historic part of the Siracusa, about a 15-minute walk away.Area information: the accommodation is centrally located in Siracusa overlooking the sea and one of the small marinas.
