The Grand Hotel Villa Politi is itself a part of Siracusa’s rich history, thanks not only to its unique in the Latomie dei Cappuccini but also to the villa itself, a former noble residence, frequented by a string of notable historical figures, heads of state and other dignitaries.
Winston Churchill
Perched over the sparkling southern Mediterranean Sea, this historic 4 star hotel in Sicily was used as a base by Winston Churchill during the allied invasion of Italy. Today, the Hotel Bar is named after Sir Winston Churchill, as is one of our five .
Villa Politi
Villa Politi was built in 1862 by Salvatore Politi, one of a great dynasty of painters from Siracusa itself and certainly an integral member of the city’s aristocracy through the 19th century. The villa was designed by his wife, Austrian noblewoman Theresa L’Audien, after whom one of our majestic banquet halls and is named. |
