Ortigia
We are in the heart of the island
Ortigia is the ancient soul of Syracuse — a limestone island overlooking the Mediterranean, where three thousand years of history live alongside the narrow alleys of the Jewish quarter of Giudecca, Baroque squares, and the scent of the sea.
At its heart are churches, honey-colored palaces, Piazza Duomo, and the Fountain of Arethusa — places to explore on foot, read on the walls, and breathe in the air. A UNESCO World Heritage historic center that never ceases to amaze. It is not just a place you reach; it is a place you immerse yourself in.
CinqueSuites is located at Ronco Purgatorio 15, in the heart of Ortigia, just a few steps away from the island's main monuments. There is no need to travel far to find the best — it is already right outside your door.

The staff can point out the most convenient options upon arrival.
