Fantastic two-bedroom apartment directly behind the Duomo in the centre of Ortigia, a UNESCO world heritage site.
You simply can't be more surrounded by ancient history, yet the apartment itself is full of mod-cons and has a secluded roof terrace. Five minutes' walk from the Lido.

We had a great stay in these serviced apartments. Really just a hotel with a tiny kitchenette for each room in a converted courtyard type building.
The staff were super friendly and helpful and the location (in Ortigia - the attractive old part) was great.
Not too costly either (paid £159 for 3 nights all in).
They have 2 bed apartments which would probably work well for a family.

Beautiful bed & breakfast in the heart of Ortigia, the baroque old town of Siracusa. The very friendly proprietor is an architect, and everything about the house reflects his professional skills. Even better than it looks on the website.

Spent less than a day in this city but must recommend the cathedral (Duomo). It looks impressive from the outside but that's nothing compared to the interior. I believe it is a Norman cathedral, but was built around the remains of a Greek temple and incorporates the columns from this structure in the design. It is truly breathtaking.
