Palazzo Artemide – Elegance and History in Ortigia

Palazzo Artemide – VRetreats is a beautifully restored 19th‑century palazzo located in Ortigia’s historic centre, directly opposite Piazza Minerva and adjacent to the Cathedral and Temple of Athena. This iconic building, originally built in 1880, blends Sicilian Baroque architecture with Arab-inspired courtyards and lush vertical gardens.

Stylish Rooms & Suites with Authentic Charm

The hotel offers around 40 air‑conditioned rooms and suites, each featuring modern comforts like flat‑screen TVs, satellite channels, minibars, safes, Wi‑Fi, and private bathrooms. Many rooms open onto charming French balconies overlooking the square, Via Roma, or the quiet courtyard.

Gourmet Dining at Amunì and Piazza Terrace

Guests can start the day with a buffet breakfast in a vaulted dining room or on the terrace overlooking Piazza Minerva. The Amunì Cocktail Bar & Restaurant serves creative Sicilian‑Mediterranean cuisine in an intimate dammuso‑vaulted setting, perfectly paired with local wines.

Complimentary Services & Personalized Assistance

The hotel offers free lobby Wi‑Fi, valet parking with shuttle service into the pedestrian zone, private parking on request, airport transfers, concierge assistance, laundry service, and a tour desk for local excursions.

Unbeatable Central Location

Warm Hospitality & Historic Ambience
