We got a good online offer for the property and enjoyed our stay. We had asked for a twin room and that was probably an error, only one bed had a light and none had nightstands. But we did get our own little balcony outside and had a good desk at the entrance as well as an ok bathroom. No flowers or fresh fruit like one Italian comment says. The place itself if great, a very nice garden that explains the name of the property, good swimming pool and a very private feeling to it all. Spa treatments on demand, we didn't try them. We were supposed to get internet in the rooms, but when we were there it only functioned in the reception and the bar. They have a computer to be used by guests in the reception. We ordered dinner the first night, pretty good and a very friendly chef, but maybe a bit expensive for what we got. My macaroni with 4 cheeses was not impressive- overcooked pasta with stringy cheese and lots of whey, but the rest was fine. One of the ladies at the reception was very efficient and gave us all the service we could ask for, but the other one seemed a bit lost- her English was poor and she didn't even know that they had to offer or not. Mosquito bites galore, so be aware- but that would be normal in any similar place. One would need a car to stay there, and there are other restaurants in the area

You will be in this hotel like at your own house with nice garden and swimming pool. The no-frills breakfast: fruits, yogurts, coffee, toasts, ham, cheese and different jams. Good service.

We stayed at Il Parco for a week at the end of October 2009. The hotel has the feel of an English National Trust property - the rooms are elegant with antiques and were warm without heating even with cold evenings. The gardens are beautiful and the hotel's name really does reflect its huge asset.

We could not fault the helpful staff and the quality of the breakfast - however one tiny
point - could we have outside lights on the terraces - the mad English still like to read on cold (18oC) evenings.

The one downside is the location - no close restaurants and a 10 minute DRIVE into Siracusa. I highlight drive because this involves the daily risk to life that comes from getting into a car in Sicily. Everyone jokes about it but the driving everywhere was simply criminal not just bad but criminal.

This new 4-star hotel hotel was a stunning villa of 1900, beautifully restored and now offering all comforts needed to tourists, both families and solo travellers, coming to visit the amazing city of Syracuse.
This hotel has only a dozen rooms, so relax and privacy are assured.
The owner is a very nice and elegant solicitor working in Siracusa, and his efficient assistants, Giuseppe and Antonella, look after guests 24 hours a day.
The best features of this hotel are the swimming pool, the lovely garden, and the massage and relaxation area, with many beauty treatments available. I had a head and shoulder massage and it was heaven!
I highly recommend this hotel!!!
