"The city of Siracusa on Sicily’s eastern coast is a place where the style and architecture of the Mediterranean’s great empires, from the Greek to the Roman to the Byzantine, still linger. Cities with this kind of history always seem to have a proliferation of luxury hotels housed within grand old buildings, and Siracusa is no exception. But why not take advantage of the kind of modernism that Italians do best, a sensibility that imbues even the starkest minimalism with a casual sumptuousness? The UNA group are old hands at this urbane decadence, and Una Hotel Siracusa is a perfect example." - Tablet Hotels
