Villa Dei Papiri Fonte Ciane

This property is a unique gem tucked away on the outside of Syracuse. The setting is so tranquil and you are surrounded by the beauty of nature. The breakfast was very good and served in a spectacular setting. It was an easy drive into town and the staff gave us directions to a grocery store where we stocked up on wine and cheese for our Happy Hour. We were traveling with friends and enjoyed gathering outside using one of their many picnic tables and enjoying the beautiful views and the serenity of our surroundings. We were in the Rosa cottage and had an issue running out of hot water. Our friends who were in nearby cottages had no issues so maybe it was just the Rosa having problems.

Pros: Beautiful rustic location Breakfast room was beautiful and breakfast delicious with many choices Love the animals around the property Very quiet location Many outdoor seating areas Very authentic experience Cons: The outdoor areas are a little unkempt - pictures shown have the landscape a little more cleaned up Small opportunities could really improve this experience. Shower curtains had about 2 inches of grime at the bottom and shower seemed like it needed a good scrubbing If rooms were more functional would be helpful, more shelves / tables to store and organize your things

What a beautiful place, beds comfortable , area is so beautiful so many lovely places to sit in the grounds , all the staff were lovely , pool was good , and breakfast what a spread ,highly recommend , you possibly need a car as walking to nearest eatery would be very dark . We throughly enjoyed our stay Thankyou

Villa Dei Papiri was absolutely wonderful. The villa and surrounding area are beautiful. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. They helped us plan our day trips, book taxis, and make the most out of our trip to Siracusa. The room was great, and we loved being able to relax in the countryside after a day in the city or at the beach. We highly recommend Villa Dei Papiri and will definitely stay there again the next time we visit Sicily.

This location is so rich in all that counts in life rather than frivolous, artificial, modernistic structures of shapes and colours. All is natural, the horse and donkeys are your neighbours. The dogs greet you at the door. The host is very welcoming and going the extra mile to be of service almost to the extent that you feel spoilt. The beautiful collection of antiques in the breakfast room (converted stable) is such a disctraction that pleases the eye and entertains your breakfast time with things to admire; from chess sets to puppets, from indian beds to musical instruments, from statues to Sicilian ceramics. The place disconnects you completely from the hustle and bustle of daily living and transports you into a world of dreams and imagination.

Amazing experience ---- it's an oasis in siracusa . Great service and rooms exquisite food accompanied with beautiful wines. It was just perfect .Staff are very helpful and knowledgeable of what happening around them . Mr Kikko Scacchi is the right man for the place who is so passionate about his place.
