Perched over the sparkling southern Mediterranean Sea, this historic 4 star hotel in Sicily was used as a base by Winston Churchill during the allied invasion of Italy. Today, the Hotel Bar is named after Sir Winston Churchill, as is one of our five Meeting & Conference Rooms. Winston Churchill said during his holidays in April of 1955 “I never rested so well in my life”. Edmondo De Amicis had similar emotions when he wrote in 1906 of his “delicious hours… spent on the terrace of the Grand Hotel Villa Politi – ah this elegant villa that rises above the ancient ruins on rocks used by the Greeks thousands of years ago… Syracuse seen from this terrace seems floating as if sleeps, dreaming on the two thousand and seven hundred years of history”.

The extensive 4 star hotel complex of the Grand Hotel Villa Politi 1862 covers a large area of the Latomie dei Cappuccini archaeological zone and sits atop the cliff face of Siracusa to offer spellbinding panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea. The main part of our exclusive luxury hotel in Siracusa contains precisely 100 spacious and elegantly preserved guest rooms (53 with sea view – subject to availability), all restored to their original 19th century Liberty style when the hotel was fully refurbished. With an immediately identifiable style in keeping with the magnificent architecture of the villa, it’s easy to see how, within the walls of our salubrious guest rooms, neither the summer heat nor the vibrant atmosphere of the hotel’s public areas can invade the privacy of these 19th century habitations.
