A world famous unique hotel for your stay in Syracuse, Sicily
Situated in the incomparable setting of the ancient quarries known as the "Latomie dei Cappuccini" and set in the centre of a spectacular natural amphitheatre is the Grand Hotel Villa Politi. The hotel is unique in the world because the ancient cliff upon which it rises is unique. The hotel, with the recesses and extensions of its various parts, has three floors with mansards featuring magnificent windows that offer a fairytale view of the Mediterranean.
From the monumental wrought iron gate, through the lush park, to the facade with the grand helicoidal staircase besieged by bougainvilleas, to the monumental colonnade of the portico, to the characteristic bow-window, you enter the sumptuous hall with walls covered in precious wood. Shiny marble and enormous mirrors reflect the light and the Liberty stained glass windows filter the rays of the sun that shine bright red beams onto the round couch in the centre of the hall. Carpets, curvy 19th-century tables, couches tucked into the corners, and lamps held up by figures of women in flowing peploses evoke memories of the refinement of a time long ago.
A perfect balance between the historical nature of the building and the most advanced and sophisticated hotel technology makes Villa Politi a leading hotel.
The hotel, completely renovated in 1998, offers 100 rooms on three floors including mansards. They are divided into various types: standard , superior , de luxe , junior suites and senior suites , all decorated in a classic style and equipped with an advanced magnetic card system.
The rooms are all spacious, comfortable and soberly elegant, thanks especially to the personalized furnishings that leave nothing to chance, with the villa's logo on the windows, the headboards of the beds, the matching drapes and bedspreads, the armchairs, the glasses and coasters, the bottle openers, the napkins and the wastepaper baskets.
The bathrooms, with bathtub, shower or jacuzzi, are embellished with marble counters and dressing tables in various colours such as grey, green and Portugal pink. They are also equipped with a very silent electronic valve fan system. High quality equipment makes the comfort of the rooms complete: air-conditioning, mini-bar, direct telephone, hair dryer, trouser press, electronic safe, satellite TV, double-glazed windows, sound-absorbent doors to block noise and room service.
In the two restaurants "Laudien Hall " and "Primavera Hall" you can taste the delicacies of Italian cuisine and typical regional dishes for lunch and dinner, all served with courtesy and professionalism.
Immersed in the green of lush foliage is the hotel's pride and joy, the splendid, fully equipped solarium and pool: shower, changing room, restrooms, infirmary and adjoining bar, where you can enjoy drinks and cold dishes at your leisure while basking in the Sicilian sun.
Designed by the Austrian noblewoman Maria Teresa Laudien in 1862, Villa Politi immediately became a leading hotel in the world with its unmistakable cachet of style and refinement. Art, Culture, Politics, Nobility. Many illustrious figures have been to Villa Politi at least once, including Princes and Kings from all over Europe, Their Royal Highnesses the Princes of Piedmont, D'Annunzio, Ojetti, Vergani, and Sir Winston Churchill with Lady Clementine.
