LONDON – Wyndham Hotels & Resorts has opened the doors to Dolce by Wyndham Siracusa Monasteri Golf & Spa in Sicily, inviting guests to experience the true essence of la dolce vita – the sweet life. Set among fragrant citrus orchards just outside Siracusa, a UNESCO World Heritage city steeped in mythology and baroque beauty, this enchanting 102-room compound – once a Roman villa, then a 9th-century monastery, and later a Sicilian Masseria – is a serene retreat where ancient stones meet olive groves, and where centuries of history have been lovingly restored into a one-of-a-kind, four-star Italian destination.
An Italian Story, Restored for Today’s traveller
Offering 83 guest rooms, 14 junior suites, and five king suites, each designed to reflect the building’s storied past, Dolce by Wyndham Siracusa Monasteri Golf & Spa features an extensive range of amenities, including an 18-hole, par-71 golf course spanning 90 hectares within a lush plantation of oranges and lemons. There is also a fitness centre and the spacious Monasteri Spa, where guests can experience a menu of beauty and wellness treatments, two indoor and outdoor pools, a steam room, a sauna and hydromassage tub.
At LE CERAMICHE, the resort’s signature restaurant, Sicilian chef Mirko Previtera, trained in the world’s top Michelin-starred kitchens (including the globally renowned The Fat Duck in Bray in the UK and the prestigious Les Prés d’Eugénie in France), brings his deep local roots and culinary artistry to the table. Expect seasonal ingredients, bold Mediterranean flavours, and dishes that feel both nostalgic and new. Dine indoors or al fresco under the stars.
“Dolce by Wyndham is more than a hotel brand – its DNA is rooted in beauty, culture and connection and there’s no better place for it to thrive than Italy, the home of its namesake and spirit. Sicily’s timeless charm makes it the perfect setting for travellers seeking authenticity and a true sense of place. As demand grows across the world for meaningful, experience-led travel, Dolce continues to resonate, offering owners a compelling lifestyle brand with strong commercial potential. It’s part of the Wyndham Advantage: scale, support, and a brand that stands out in the evolving world of meaningful travel.” says Dimitris Manikis, President EMEA, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts.
“In Italy, we say ‘Dove c’è il cuore, lì è casa’ – ‘Where the heart is, there is home.’ With Dolce by Wyndham Siracusa, we’ve created more than a resort, we’ve created a place where the spirit of Sicily lives in every detail. It’s about feeling, flavour, and freedom, and we’re proud to welcome guests to experience a truly unforgettable taste of Italian life. Wyndham shares our passion for hospitality and brings the iconic, global Dolce brand, making them the ideal partner to continue growing our footprint within Italy.” commented Alberto Reggidori, CEO, All In Italia Hotels & Resorts.
