Good break

No coffee in rooms. You do have a fridge. You are 2 minutes from the sea but no where to swim. Hotel pool is lovely but drinks are expensive. I would recommend a sort break here. PS the breakfast is lovely too.

We loved the Villa Politi, a grand hotel with a very interesting history. The guest areas are spacious and the pool beautiful. The only concern we had, the dinner service was a little slow due to large tour groups dining, the staff were under pressure. We would have also appreciated tea/coffee making facilities in our room. We would definitely stay there again.

We loved our 2-night stay at the Grand Hotel Villa Politi in Syracuse! The property is very historic, having been established in 1862, and it is literally built adjacent to one of the archeological sites that Syracuse is known for. The staff was so welcoming and helpful, the Winston Churchill Bar was charming (and they have a daily happy hour with complimentary appetizers), and the breakfast buffet offered a nice variety of choices. There's a large, very well-maintained outdoor pool and deck area, which was a highlight of my visit. The room was very comfortable and well appointed in terms of linens, a refrigerator/mini bar, plenty of electrical outlets, and a functional window. I wish there had been conditioner in the shower, along with shampoo and body wash, but other than that, our stay was excellent.

Very beautiful old hotel, elegant. Pool is fantastic! Room was lovely but the front desk controls the air conditioning and we froze. The electricity went out multiple times and you need your room card to activate it. Other than that, excellent breakfast, great parking.
