Property Overview

Palazzo Artemide is housed in a late nineteenth-century building in the heart of Ortygia, nestled between the Cathedral and the Archbishopric. The hotel overlooks Piazza Minerva on Via Roma, the most central street in Syracuse. Founded in 1880, the building carries a strong Sicilian character throughout, from the limestone used in Greek temples and Baroque palaces to traditional courtyards influenced by Arab architecture. The restaurant’s tuff dammuso vaults further ground the experience in centuries of layered history.
