We absolutely loved Pozzo di Mazza — it was the highlight of our trip to Sicily and one of those places I already know I’ll remember forever! <3 The whole place is incredibly beautiful and atmospheric. It has that slightly magical quality where you wake up in the morning, look around and think: yes, this is exactly, where I want to be in this heat. Peaceful, warm, lush and completely unhurried. And the pool! It honestly looks like something from a film. Surrounded by greenery and the Sicilian landscape, it was ridiculously beautiful. We spent hours there and I could have happily stayed by that pool for the entire holiday. The food was spectacular, but also felt homemade. The best in Syracuse. Properly, memorably good — fresh, generous, full of flavour and made with wonderful local ingredients. What really makes Pozzo di Mazza special, though, is the feeling of the place. It’s beautiful without being pretentious, relaxed without feeling impersonal, and everyone was so genuinely warm and welcoming. We were there with our baby and felt completely at ease. We left feeling like we had experienced a little piece of the Sicily we had hoped to find. I would go back in a heartbeat.

We loved everything

Le lieu, le chambre, le petit déjeuner, la piscine.

Clim un peu bruyante

Emplacement stratégique pour visite Syracuse et les environs. Le repas du soir, plus que copieux au prix de 30 eur, est très bon et nous permet de découvrir les spécialités régionales. Encore félicitations aux cuisinières et aux serveurs! Le personnel est à l écoute et réactif. La literie est de très bonne qualité. Parc agréable

Petit-déjeuner servi à partir de 8h30, ce qui est un peu tard pour débuter une journée de visite. Chambre sombre avec équipement sommaire. Le logement dispose d une table et chaises extérieures qui sont squattées par d autres locataires. La piscine n est pas équipée de suffisamment de transat à certains moment de la journée. Équipement peu entretenu (bouilloire remplie de calcaire)

The property is absolutely beautiful, and we loved learning about the history of the place. The pool area was brilliant, and there is plenty of parking available on-site, though we easily managed using taxis to get into Ortigia.

It is a little way out if you want to explore Ortigia every day, though this shouldn't be a problem for most people if you have a car.
