Hotel Parco delle Fontane

This is a very affordable 4 star hotel with a very good pool which was surprisingly empty when I stayed there with my family. The restaurant was very good and the staff very attentive. The hotel is large and was only about 20% occupied in July close to peak season which is a bit puzzling to me because the services offered are very good for the price we paid. We paid about 120 Euro per room per night breakfast included for 2 people. The hotel is 4km from the centre of town and there is no public transport to speak of but if you have your own (or hired) car or are willing to pay for a taxi (15-20 Euro) each way into Ortigia, this is not a bad choice. What we liked about the hotel was the quiet, the excellent pool, the food and the attentive staff.
