Overlooking the natural port of Siracusa, Caol Ishka Hotel is located on the bank of the river Anapo, only 2 km away from the historical centre of Siracusa (Ortigia). This small hotel brings contemporary design to the charm of an old "Sicilian Masseria".
Surrounded by a large Mediterranean garden, guests can relax in the solarium by the swimming pool or on private patios. For food lovers, the Zafferano Bistrot offers contemporary Sicilian recipes either in a stunning dining room or on the outdoor terrace. The chef proposes menus in harmony with seasonal and high quality local ingredients and flavours.
The unique warm mix of materials, designer furniture and antique pieces have all been blended into a rustic environment. The garden merges with the surrounding nature: a wide lawn beside the swimming pool with Mediterranean plants and aromatic herbs gives way to bamboo, wild grass and spontaneous vegetation.
Whereas the outside has maintained a traditional feel, inside one can find white and natural oak beam roofs alternated with white ceilings; warm colours for walls and floorings in coloured resin and different hardwoods.
Beautiful surroundings, tranquillity and comfort make Caol Ishka an ideal retreat within easy reach of beaches, cultural spots and natural reserves.
