The Residence Alla Giudecca on the island of Ortigia, Siracusa’s medieval centre, is one of the most unique accommodations in all of Italy. Occupying a medieval building in the heart of the old town, where the streets are too narrow for cars and the sandy coloured crumbling buildings transport you back in time, this collection of 23 fully self sufficient apartments contains the ruins of ancient Hebrew baths, used for the ritual of purification in the Byzantine period (circa 300AD) and a deconsecrated church.

Our stunning palazzo is unlike any other you’ll ever stay in – take the Residence Alla Giudecca Virtual Tour to get a taste of the place. (Unfortunately we’re unable to include photography of the Hebrew baths – you’ll have to come to see them!) This ancient building maintains its original personality with stone floors and museum exhibits on every wall, in every corner and every high vaulted and echoing corridor. The property also contains a meeting room capable of holding up to 150 people and a luxurious reading room.

Our 23 pristine apartments provide the ideal backdrop for a dream holiday in one of Sicily’s most stunning destinations. Just a short walk from the beach and the beautiful Bay of Siracusa, our location in the heart of the island of Ortigia – the medieval heart of Siracusa – means you’re central to everything you’ll need.
