Palazzo Giunta - Porta Marina Ortigia Bed & Breakfast - Syracuse

Boutique bed & breakfast on Ortigia with private balconies over the marina

Rooms & Suites

Palazzo Giunta - Porta Marina Ortigia has five uniquely decorated rooms, each combining traditional Sicilian furniture with modern amenities. The Romantic Suite offers a large private terrace with direct sea views over the marina. Rooms on the upper floors provide balconies overlooking the harbour and access to shared outdoor dining spaces.

Breakfast & Dining

Each morning, guests are served a varied breakfast that includes Sicilian cold cuts, cheeses, fresh fruit, local bread, and freshly squeezed orange juice. The breakfast is presented on a three-tier platter with hard-boiled eggs and a selection of pastries from a local supplier. Outdoor dining spaces on the terrace are used for breakfast and evening cocktails.

Location & Access

Palazzo Giunta - Porta Marina Ortigia sits on Ortigia island, 300 metres from Syracuse Cathedral and within a 10-minute walk of all major monuments. The Archaeological Park of Neapolis is 2 km away. The property lies directly across from two paid parking areas, and staff can help arrange parking and transportation.

Services & Staff

The bed & breakfast is staffed by Manuela and Giovanna, who provide maps, dining recommendations, and local tips each day. Guests can use the shared kitchen facilities and receive support with booking boat tours or restaurant reservations. Luggage storage and express check-in/check-out are available, and staff will carry luggage up the narrow stairs for a small fee.

Building & Character

The accommodation is housed in a historical palazzo on the city walls of Ortigia, next to the Porta Marina gate. Each room has a different decor using older antiques, and soundproofed windows can be closed to block street noise. The building has no elevator, and the upper-floor rooms require climbing stairs, but the views from the top terraces reward the effort.
