Location:
Bed & Breakfast Globetrotter is right in the centre of Ortigia, the "centro storico" of Syracuse, which is located on a peninsula.
Ortigia, the "island of quails", is where the roots of Syracuse lie. Small alleys, restaurants, bars and cafes mark it out today and invite you to stroll around.
The cathedral of Santa Maria delle Collonne, which dates from 7th century BC, rises majestically only 200 m from your accommodation.
Dive into beautiful Syracuse on a city trip, staying at B&B Globetrotter, and then extend your holidays for bathing and relaxing at one of our beautiful holiday homes on Sicily
Just the perfect combination for lovers of culture and nature, but also for fans of wide sandy beaches!
