Hotel Borgo Pantano

"Our stay at Borgo Pantano was exceptional from start to finish. The staff are warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly, and the host/owner welcomes you with the kind of hospitality that immediately makes you feel at home. The property itself is beautiful — a charming orchard‑style garden, peaceful corners to relax, and a spectacular pool area that feels like a private oasis. The restaurant is very good, with delicious food and excellent local wines that showcase the best of the region. But the true standout is the breakfast. It’s extraordinary in both quality and variety, and without exaggeration, it could easily rank among my top three hotel breakfasts ever. Every morning felt like a celebration of Sicilian flavors. Although the hotel is set in the countryside, it’s only a short drive from Syracuse and Ortigia. The hosts prepare a detailed guide full of recommendations, making it effortless to enjoy the area to the fullest. A place full of charm, warmth, and unforgettable hospitality. Five stars, wholeheartedly."

"We have just had a great 4 night stay at Hotel Borgo Pantano. We were 2 couples and the hotel gad everything for a great time. Firstly the staff are excellent, from the Martina that greets you at reception to all the other staff in the restaurant, the pool area and breakfast. They are so friendly and welcoming. The hotel itself is immaculate and well laid out. Plenty of beds round the pool and grounds, nobody putting towels down to reserve beds! The bedrooms are chic and very clean. The breakfast is vast with fabulous choice. We ate at the restaurant for 3 nights as the food was so good."

"Our second stay at this pearl, this gem of a hotel, comes to an end. Often, when you return to a good hotel, the memories are often disappointed as reality rarely measures up. To come back to a great hotel? The risk of disappointment is huge. However, Giusy and her staff make sure their hotel delivers. With dedication, high quality and a love for what they do. Every guest is important. The grounds impeccable, the upkeep amazing and the food unparalleled. Their breakfast buffet is amongst the best I’ve ever had in all of my travels, freshly made every day: baked goods, savory and sweet along with all the usual things you’d expect. The lunch and dinner offers amazing discoveries of Sicilian and Italian cuisine. But what really gets me every day is the staff: from the reception to housekeeping, servers and Giusy: there’s a passion and love for what they do I’ve never seen anywhere else. Just today I witnessed a guest alerting them to a nail sticking up by the pool. Fifteen minutes later, maintenance was there to fix it. Trust me when I say that in any other hotel, it would’ve taken hours, if not days or weeks. Will we be back? You bet!"
