Although we arrived late we were greeted with a huge smile and introduction to the sights and sounds of Syracuse by Maria. We immediately walked into the roof top restaurant located directly opposite and sat down for a meal and to enjoy the views. They are spectacular. In the morning Maria set out some breakfast in the adjacent room for us to collect and tuck into. A more than adequate amount to set us up for the travelling ahead. On our return the room was tidied and nice and cool following a hot and sweaty day.

There have been a few reviews noting the outside street noise but we weren't overly bothered by this. With the windows closed and the AC on, you can sleep happily. The only problem we incurred was saturday night parking, which was very busy, easily avoidable if you're happy to walk a minute or two.
