Giuggiulena Bed and Breakfast

The Giuggiulena Hotel, ranked as a bed and breakfast in the tourist literature, is a shelter carved into a cliff overlooking a bay off of the ocean on the east coast of Sicily, in the city of Siracusa. It is an almost self-contained environment, a serene and visually beautiful oasis, where you hear only the lapping of waves from the sea, as if you were on a secluded island in the middle of nowhere. The hotel is a little piece of heaven, a cocoon engraved inside a rock overlooking the ocean. Actually, it's on the other side of a bay, facing the historic part of the Siracusa, about a 15-minute walk away. Area information: the accommodation is centrally located in Siracusa overlooking the sea and one of the small marinas. It is a ten-minute walk to Ortigia, the historical centre of Siracusa, or alternatively there is a local bus and boat service. Local bars,restaurants and shops are all within close proximity.
