This is a truly beautiful B&B in Siracusa located next to a large archaeological site, parts of which actually enclose the Dimora itself. We stayed in the Melograno Deluxe Double Room for four nights. This is a two-layer structure with a bedroom on the ground floor and a large bathroom downstairs. The connecting spiral stairs are steep and narrow, which may be challenging for older or particularly large people. The room is well-equipped. We had excellent breakfast on the central terrace with a beautiful view of ancient walls. We traveled by car, and the excellent internal parking is a real asset too. We truly enjoyed our stay and would gladly return!

We had a wonderful stay at Dimora Archimedea. The house has a beautiful garden, full of greenery and shade, where you can really relax and enjoy the summer breeze even on hot days. Inside, everything was spotless — very clean rooms, fresh bed linens, and a well-equipped fridge with everything you might need. Our hosts were extremely kind and welcoming; they even waited for us with a smile although we arrived late at night after our flight. We also really appreciated the free stay for our baby. They provided a spotless and well-prepared crib, which was perfect for our little one — his very first travel bed, and it worked out excellently. We were very satisfied with our stay and we would gladly come back again.

Valentina and her team looked after us very well. Fluent English speakers and strong on pre arrival communications. Stylish property near city centre and about 1.5km from Ortigia. Very convenient for / adjacent to the archeological park, which is well worth visiting. Lovely terrace area screened from the busy road by the house. Everything here has been thought about and works efficiently. Advice about exploring and eating is provided. Delicious breakfast. There is limited on site parking, which can be arranged in advance with the team. Otherwise there is parking locally. Our room was small but comfortable. Would definitely return if we found ourselves in Syracusa again.

The convenient location necessarily means that it’s close to busy roads. But noise levels fell back by bedtime.

Sebiana was EXCELLENT, giving a us wonderful advice for not only Syracuse and Ortigia but also Noto and Taormina. The property was stunning and we wish we had more time to spend there. If we don’t ever make it back we’ll certainly recommend this place to everyone we know

Quite far from Ortigia if you want to walk in and out multiple times in a day but they recommended a great car park if you have a car

Dimora Archimedea is a charming and elegant boutique hotel located about 800 meters from the Old City of Syracuse. The rooms and facilities are not only comfortable but also thoughtfully designed. Whoever was in charge of renovating this historic building did an outstanding job, blending modern comforts with authentic charm. We stayed at Dimora Archimedea for five nights during our family trip to Sicily, and every aspect of our stay exceeded expectations. One of the highlights was the family-style breakfasts served in the hotel’s picturesque patio. The food was delicious, and the personalized menu options made each morning special. A special thank you to the hotel manager, Ms. Sebiana Bracciante, for her warm hospitality. From the moment we arrived, Sebiana set up a WhatsApp group to facilitate communication, allowing us to ask questions, select breakfast menus in advance, and even get local recommendations. It was a brilliant touch—we’d never experienced anything like it before! Sebiana’s background in architecture and history truly enhanced our trip, as her insights and recommendations for daily excursions were invaluable. The hotel is conveniently located within walking distance of many excellent restaurants. A particular favorite was Agora la Cantina—perfect for a leisurely lunch and well worth a visit. Since the hotel is situated in a historical area, parking space is limited. If you plan to use the hotel’s small lot, I recommend contacting them in advance to have the gate opened. Alternatively, free street parking is available just 30 meters uphill from the hotel, which is a convenient option. Overall, Dimora Archimedea is perfect for those seeking a comfortable and memorable stay with a personal touch. We’d happily return!

Everything was perfect. We got upgrade for the room and it was just magnificent, felt like being in a palace ! Thanks a lot to Sebiana, she was incredible, she gave us so many tips on where to eat and what to visit. She even made the reservation for dinner for us. It was our final day of vacation and we couldn't have dreamed of a better ending. Breakfast was delicious as well, the parking spot and location were a huge plus.

Nothing

The location is slightly further from Ortigia, but getting there was easy enough as we had a rental car. The hotel is very close to the archaeological park which is very cool to check out. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was amazing, very elegant feeling, clean and comfortable. Would highly recommend this stay to anyone going to Syracuse. Not a negative, but pay attention to the parking instructions. We forgot after a long day of travel and the entrance is quite narrow (scraped the rental car) but only because we didn't follow their specific instructions to approach and enter from the other direction - very simple and easy if paid attention to! :)

Great location for visiting the archaeological site. Staff were exceptionally helpful and very friendly. Breakfast is tailored to individuals, you chose what you want and it's served to you. Lovely courtyard where there are some sepulchres, Feels like your part of the archaeological site. Good bus service to Ortigia Island.

The only negative is that the building is not sign posted, but I called them and they waited at the gate for us. They explained that they are waiting for permission to get a sign as it is a conservation area

This was the best place we have stayed in Sicily! We travel a lot and can tell that we haven't seen such friendly, helpful people in anywhere! The place is so cozy, the apartment was really clean with a nice decoration, the beds were comfortable, the garden was so peacful and breakfast! So suprised with that also! Breakfast was great! Definitely would be back to this place! And Sirakuza became our favorite part of Sicily! Highly reccomended! Thanks a lot!

The hotel is in a 19th century building. The room was large and spacious. The staff was so helpful and gracious. The location across from the archeological park was perfect. The drive to Ortiga was only 5 minutes. I thought this was the perfect place to stay. The breakfast was perfect as well.
