Hotel Detail

An intriguing name, Caol Ishka is Gaelic for 'the sound of water', which was conjured up by Irish-born Gareth and locally-born Emanuela. Caol Ishka is a small chic and contemporary hotel just 5 minutes from the old town of Ortigia in Siracusa. The 10 rooms and restaurant are surrounded by a beautiful garden which features the swimming pool. Modern design has been combined effortlessly with the warmth of a Sicilian Masseria to create a chic and fun place to stay.


Rates
from EUR 190 per night.



Accommodation - 10 Rooms

Restoration took 4 years, but it was well worth the wait; the 10 rooms are spacious & sleek and are spread across 2 of the stone wings. Six of the 10 rooms have their own veranda and all have TV, DVD and CD players. The deluxe room stands proud in its own enormous barn with 6m high ceilings. Modern fittings and design elements are evident throughout all of the rooms which have a sharp, urban-chic feel to them. Children of all ages are welcome and there are 2 rooms that can interconnect (7 and 8). All the usual comforts and high-tech requirements are in all of the rooms - room 1 is even equipped with its own Mac for those who can't live without email.


Activities

Tailor made excursions can be arranged and there is biking and canoeing nearby. For those wanting to be pampered Shiatsu massages can be arranged. Beaches are fairly close by and there are some great hikes in the surrounding hills.


Dining

The selection of dishes served at the restaurant 'Zafferano' all use local ingredients and the recipes are classical Sicilian dishes with the occasional Oriental twist. There are many restaurants nearby to choose from. Caol Ishka also has a great bar where guests can relax with a drink or two.
