Property Location: Perched atop golden cliffs lapped by the Mediterranean Sea, on a promontory facing the island of Ortigia — the beating heart of Syracuse and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Minareto enjoys dual access to the sea: a fine, sandy beach offering comfort and ease for total relaxation, and a more “wild” rocky shoreline, the gateway to the secrets of the Reserve. Here, snorkeling enthusiasts can dive in to discover hidden coves, underwater treasures, and crystal-clear waters.

Rooms (78)  Minareto offers a collection of rooms, suites, and villas with a unique viewpoint that can only be described as spellbinding. Those who have tested Minareto recommend choosing rooms from the Deluxe category onwards to fully experience everything Minareto has to offer.

Amenities Days drift by slowly, from a cocktail on the Ortigia Terrace — perhaps continuing to the promenade, where swings suspended over the azure invite you to rediscover a sense of wonder — to moments of absolute serenity in the panoramic Jacuzzi area,where sunbeds provide the perfect stage to watch the sunset warm the horizon.

Dining The Minareto experience continues with a journey through flavours: from the authentic Sicilian soul of the Plemmirio Terrace to the seafood specialities of Area M, the exclusive restaurant located directly in Ortigia. This venue represents Minareto’s indissoluble link to the history and charm of the island, easily reached also via the resort’s evocative water taxi service.

Business, Other Amenities Minareto’s Signature Experiences are so much fun and unique. The Candlelight Dinner is especially magical, whereby the cliffside is transformed into a magical scene. And the cooking class is so much more than a lesson: it’s an immersive journey into Sicily’s culinary world with the market tour before and the cooking lesson after.
