Wyndham Hotels & Resorts Expands into Sicily
Wyndham Hotels & Resorts has recently inaugurated the stunning Dolce by Wyndham Siracusa Monasteri Golf & Spa, a remarkable addition to its portfolio situated in the heart of Sicily. This elegant establishment lies nestled among fragrant citrus groves, just outside the historical city of Syracuse—a UNESCO World Heritage Site steeped in rich mythology and Baroque architecture. The location of the hotel itself is drenched in history, once serving as a Roman villa, followed by a 9th-century monastery, and ultimately evolving into a Sicilian Masseria. Today, it stands as a unique 4-star destination that harmoniously blends ancient stones with modern luxury.
Accommodations Tailored for Every Traveler
Dolce by Wyndham Siracusa offers a diverse range of accommodations totaling 102 rooms, including 83 standard rooms, 14 junior suites, and 5 king suites. Each room has been meticulously designed to reflect the building’s historical essence, ensuring that every guest feels a connection to the past while enjoying contemporary comforts. In addition to cozy retreats, the hotel features a sprawling 18-hole, par-71 golf course that envelops the property, extending over 900 acres of vibrant orange and lemon orchards. Guests will also find a state-of-the-art fitness center and the expansive Monasteri Spa, where wellness treatments abound. The spa includes both an indoor and outdoor swimming pool, along with a steam room, sauna, and hot tub—all perfect for relaxing after a day of exploration.
Culinary Excellence at LE CERAMICHE
The hotel’s flagship restaurant, LE CERAMICHE, showcases the culinary artistry of renowned Sicilian chef Mirko Previtera. With experience in Michelin-starred kitchens, including The Fat Duck in Bray, UK, and Les Prés d’Eugénie in France, Previtera brings a wealth of knowledge and authenticity to his menu. Guests can indulge in seasonal ingredients and bold Mediterranean flavors that skillfully combine traditional and modern elements. Whether dining indoors or outdoors beneath the stars, visitors are sure to enjoy an unforgettable gastronomic experience that captures the essence of Sicilian cuisine.
