I had a wonderful stay at Ortea Palace Hotel in Syracuse. The location was fantastic, giving me easy access to explore Ortigia and the beautiful harbor views. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making me feel right at home. However, the lack of outdoor dining options and some small bathroom features could use improvement. Overall, I would recommend this hotel for anyone looking to explore the rich culture of Syracuse.
