Area city center

The B&B La Terra di Archimede is located in the heart of ancient Syracuse, inside a flowery courtyard of an old palace. Its central location allows you to easily walk to archaeological sites and reach places of particular interest. The beautiful Greek Theatre in the Archaeological Park of Neapolis, the Sanctuary of the Madonnina, and the catacombs of San Giovanni are just a few sites located in the immediate vicinity of the B&B. In 5 minutes, you can walk to the island of Ortigia, a true jewel of the Mediterranean Sea.

Syracuse encompasses the history, culture, and beauty of the peoples who, for centuries, have been fascinated by this land. Near the B&B is the charming landing place "lo sbarcadero", from which you can embark on boat excursions. The bus and train stations are located near the structure.

Our room was very large with a beautifully renovated bathroom. Air-conditioned room. Sweet breakfast. We had infusion and coffee. Toasted sandwich bread with homemade jam, very special and good. Yogurt. Also available are cookies, packaged croissants, cereals, and juice. The owner is a very nice and helpful lady. Always present in the morning for breakfast, she is ready to help or provide useful information if needed. Excellent quality/price ratio.

Archimede's Terra is a beautiful and very comfortable house. Teresa is a charming woman who makes you feel at home. Attentive and available, she gave us all kinds of details about what to visit in Siracusa and Ortigia, she advised us on places to eat well and at a good price. It's everything you want to find when you're traveling.

Very good accommodation. Close to the center and a walk from Ortigia Island.\nThe breakfast impeccable, with a zone reserved exclusively for it, also the kitchen was always available for the guests.\nAs the only inconvenience, the WI-Fi was not working and had to be paid in cash.

I materassi e la biancheria necessitano di essere cambiati. L'odore della stanza non trasmetteva una sensazione di fresca pulizia. Anche gli asciugamani del bagno dovrebbero essere cambiati.

It seems easy, but it's not... to feel at home, in a protected and comfortable environment, that smells clean and fresh, where everything is in the right place, where you would want it and keep it, where even the neighborhood, in the chatter and in the daily routine, is pleasant; and what about Teresa? Kind, friendly, helpful, attentive, caring, not at all intrusive and much more, thank you Teresa for everything! P.S. the house is 5 minutes walk from Ortigia, in a quiet neighborhood away from the chaos, perfect location, I recommend it to everyone!

Well-furnished and clean rooms but: one is located on the ground floor without an external opening, one on the 1st floor ok... the other with an external bathroom located on the 2nd floor where there is a very cozy breakfast room. Unfortunately, the staircase is steep and for those with difficulty walking it is tiring. For short stays it is fine.

Great place in Syracuse! Theresa welcomed us very warmly. House very well located, very close to Ortigia, very pleasant and quiet. It's a bit like being at home! The room was large, clean linen and perfect cleaning. Air conditioning. And very good breakfast! Great stay at Theresa's.

Stay of 3 days and 2 nights in a quadruple room in July 2023. The structure is very nice, the location is great, the cleanliness is sufficient, everything works well. Abundant breakfast and the kitchen is available all day and night. The owner, Mrs. Angela, is always kind, professional, and helpful. We will return and, of course, recommended.

The property is very well positioned compared to the historic center of Syracuse. The rooms are comfortable and the breakfast is quite good. But what makes the structure even more welcoming is Mrs. Teresa. She explains everything to you, where to go, what to do and is always available to help. Mrs. Teresa also speaks German and English, so it's excellent for foreigners who want to visit the beauties of this land!

Very kind and helpful owners. Very nice building typical of Sicilian historical centers. Cozy and welcoming room. Very nice living area, well furnished, equipped with essential goods and a small terrace overlooking the rooftops. Very convenient for those like me looking for a place to easily reach the Sanctuary and the center on foot.

The welcome was very cordial, and the conversations with Teresa very warm. I keep a vivid memory of my stay. The B&B La Terra di Archimede is located in a quite convenient and quiet place, between the old town and the newer districts, not far from the main bus lines. The room is pleasant and we appreciated the separate and individual bathroom. The breakfasts are top-notch with a wide choice of pastries and drinks! I highly recommend this charming and high-quality B&B where you feel at home! An ideal base for visiting this magnificent and touching city of Syracuse!

If you stay in Syracuse, the B&B La Terra di Archimede is definitely recommended for the value for money, as well as for the convenience of the location, close to Ortigia and with easy parking. The interiors are new and of quality, the cleanliness is excellent and guests have at their disposal a 24-hour room with free computer and furnished kitchen. The breakfast is satisfying (the fresh brioches are exceptional), but typical Sicilian products are missing, only industrial packaged ones are available.
