Palazzo Artemide

Step into a world where antique grandeur meets refined modernity at Palazzo Artemide. Nestled within the honey-hued stone streets of Ortigia, this elegantly restored Palazzo blends original baroque features with contemporary Italian design. Just moments from the sparkling Ionian Sea and Syracuse’s most treasured landmarks, the hotel offers a serene retreat in one of Sicily’s most storied settings.

Begin your day in the calm glow of the Piazza Minerva, where a leisurely buffet breakfast of Sicilian pastries and sun-ripened fruits awaits, complemented by breathtaking cathedral views. Then lose yourself in the charm of Ortigia — a labyrinth of limestone lanes, bustling markets and sun-drenched squares. Return to the cool sanctuary of the Palazzo for a perfectly mixed aperitivo in the Amunì Cocktail Bar, served alongside a unique view of the Temple of Athena and an array of authentic Sicilian nibbles prepared by the chef.

Rooms and suites celebrate understated Sicilian luxury, with vaulted ceilings, antique furnishings and a calming palette where neutral tones meet Mediterranean blue. Luxe bathrooms and crisp linens offer moments of indulgence, while carefully curated artworks and soft, coastal light reflects the spirit of the island. For something truly special, choose a suite with French balconies overlooking Piazza Minerva — perfect for soaking up the morning light or taking in the timeless charm of this historic square.
