Strategic Location and Free Parking Fortuna Guest House is ideally located for exploring Syracuse on foot: the entrance to Ortigia (Corso Umberto) and the Central Station are only 15 minutes away, while the Archaeological Park of the Greek Theater is a 20-minute walk. We are located outside the ZTL (Restricted Traffic Zone), so you can reach our entrance directly by car. A major advantage of our area is the ease of finding free parking in the adjacent streets—a rare and precious feature for those visiting the city by car.

Welcome! I was a former Swissair flight attendant based in Zurich first with high quality standards and I spent ten years running my own restaurant in Basel after. I speak fluent English, German, and French and love welcoming guests from all over the world with a warm personal check-in. ​We are committed to impeccable cleanliness: we provide daily cleaning services to ensure the highest standards of hygiene and comfort in every room. I’m happy to share my expert local tips on the best sights, from Pantalica to Mount Etna. I look forward to meeting you very soon!
