The Arrival & Accessibility: Hurdles, Heaps of Help, and… An Elevator?!
First off, navigating Syracuse itself? A scenic adventure, let's just say. The airport transfer they offered was a lifesaver – especially after that flight delay from… shudders… anywhere. (Okay, it was Newark, but let's not dwell). Now, I need to preface this by saying I am somewhat wheelchair accessible, but not perfectly, and my friend who came along is completely accessible. I was interested in seeing their commitment to facilities for disabled guests. The elevator was a HUGE win; you'd be surprised how often that gets overlooked. The entrance…was manageable, but not perfect, I'm being honest. Small curbs. Inside, though, things started looking up, which was great.
Accessibility Score: 6/10. Good start, room for improvement in the actual arrival experience.
Check-in/out was surprisingly smooth! They had contactless check-in/out, which was great, and the staff was genuinely friendly. There was a doorman, but the poor guy’s probably seen it all – including the occasional stumbling tourist (me, at times, after a long day of exploring).
Rooms & Comfort - The Good, the Odd, and the Missing Slippers
Okay, let's talk about the rooms. I booked a non-smoking room, which was a must. And it delivered. It was clean, which is always a massive plus. A shoutout to their room sanitization between stays and room sanitization opt-out available policy; it felt really reassuring. They've gone above and beyond in terms of cleanliness and safety, which I think everyone appreciates these days. The air conditioning roared to life immediately, which was a blessing considering the Syracuse summer heat. Blackout curtains were a serious game-changer for sleeping in.
The bathroom was… functional. The hair dryer worked (phew!), and I appreciated the slippers… except, wait for it… they initially forgot them! A minor thing, but the first impression counts, right? They rectified it immediately after I asked, but still. There were bathrobes, a mini-bar (conveniently stocked), and a desk to work on. The Internet access – wireless worked fine.
The extra long bed was amazing! I'm tall, and you know how it is… But the window that opens was a breath of fresh air (especially after a few hours cooped up in the Syracuse heat).
Rating: B+ (Room comfort). Room for some fine-tuning in things like the consistent availability of slippers, but overall comfortable and clean!
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking – A Culinary Rollercoaster
Listen, the dining experience was… complex. Let's start with the good. The breakfast [buffet] was pretty darn good! A solid Western breakfast. The Asian breakfast was available, though I didn't try it. There were plenty of options. I really appreciated the availability of coffee/tea in restaurant and breakfast service. The bottle of water was a nice touch.
Now, the… let's say, "interesting" part. Dinner at the restaurant. The a la carte menu seemed promising, but the execution was a little inconsistent. One night, a delicious pasta. The next night? Let's say the soup tasted slightly… off. The staff was friendly, though, and willing to fix things, so I can’t be too hard. The salad in restaurant and soup in restaurant felt like a mixed bag.
There was a poolside bar, which was lovely for a post-swim cocktail. Happy hour was a crowd pleaser, and while I didn't try the desserts in restaurant, they looked tempting, so, I regretted that. You could also get room service [24-hour], which came in handy after a long day. They had a snack bar available for quick bites, too.
The fact that they had an entire section of the restaurant dedicated to Vegetarian food was very impressive, but not the way it was executed. I also loved the daily fresh fruit, but the overall experience did need some work.
Dining Score: 6.5/10. Good food, but some inconsistency. Great effort, though.
Things to Do, Ways to Relax – Spa Day Dreams & Fitness Center Frustrations
Okay, this is where Eurialo Green Suites really tries to shine. They have a swimming pool [outdoor] with a pool with view – beautiful! Seriously. I spent hours just lounging there. They had a spa with a sauna, a steamroom, and various treatments. I indulged in a massage and a body scrub, which was heavenly. I think I actually fell asleep during the body wrap!
BUT (there's always a but, isn't there?), the fitness center was… a bit limited. Okay, the facilities were nice, but they were just limited. There was a running machine, and some free weights, but no foot bath.
Ways to Relax Score: 7.5/10. The spa is a serious winner. Fitness center needs some work (and more foot baths – just saying!).
Services & Conveniences – The Usual, Plus a Few Surprises
The services and conveniences were pretty standard. Daily housekeeping, laundry service, and dry cleaning were all appreciated. Cash withdrawal was easy. There was a convenience store if you needed anything.
I was surprised by the Babysitting service, and the kids facilities.
Cleanliness & Safety- Because 2024
I have to commend their efforts here. They really, really took cleanliness and safety seriously. The staff trained in safety protocol, anti-viral cleaning products, and daily disinfection in common areas – all very reassuring. The hand sanitizer stations everywhere were a great touch. This stuff gave me a better sense of peace of mind.
Getting Around
They offer airport transfer, which is a godsend. But I used a taxi service around the city just to feel like a local.
The Verdict: Worth the Syracuse Adventure? Absolutely!
Look, Unbelievable Eurialo Green Suites isn't perfect. But honestly? It's got charm. It has its quirks. It's trying. And in the end, it's a decent spot for a Syracuse getaway. The accessibility is good, with some notable issues that are easy enough to fix. I had genuine moments of relaxation there, even if the dining experience was a bit up and down. The staff were really friendly, and honestly, I felt like I was getting a good value for my money. I'd recommend it, with the caveat that it's a slightly unpredictable, but overall positive experience.
Overall Rating: 7/10. Would I go back? Probably. Maybe. Depends on what kind of mood I'm in, but yes, definitely.

Uncover Agrigento's Secrets: 5 Incredible Italian Novellas You NEED to Read!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because planning a "trip" to Eurialo Green Suites in Syracuse, Italy? I'm already stressed, in the best way possible. Let's see if this chaotic brain of mine can actually map out a vacation without forgetting to pack underwear or accidentally ordering a live octopus for dinner. Here goes…
Eurialo Green Suites & Syracuse: A Hot Mess Itinerary (Probably)
Day 1: Arrival & Oh Dear God, Sicily!
Morning (Slightly Before): Okay, let's be HONEST. This "morning" will be after a red-eye flight probably. My mood is already at 26%. Gotta survive the airport. Pray to the luggage gods that my bag actually arrives in Syracuse. (Picture me silently weeping if it doesn't. My anxiety levels are stratospheric already!)
Afternoon (After the Great Luggage Retrieval): Assuming the gods are kind, we arrive at Eurialo Green Suites. Check-in. Take a deep breath. The smell of the Mediterranean better hit me like a slap in the face. I'm expecting stunning views. If the view is just a brick wall, I may cry. I need that promised balcony! Let's hope our suite is actually what it looks like in the pictures. Seriously, online photos are liars. Unpack, try not to crumple my clothes (I’m terrible at this), and immediately scout for the nearest espresso machine. I will need caffeine to survive and navigate the world.
Late Afternoon/Early Evening: Ortigia - The First Assault: My stomach is rumbling, and I have a huge craving for pizza. We're off to Ortigia, the island heart of Syracuse. It's supposed to be magical, but also… touristy. Pray for a good first impression. Get lost – it’s practically mandatory! I’ll be searching for a Trattoria that doesn't look too much like a trap and will serve really good pasta. I'm hoping the staff are friendly, and, most importantly, the food is divine. If the food is terrible on the first day, it could absolutely ruin my vacation. It has happened before! After dinner, wandering around Ortigia, soaking in the atmosphere and the first taste of Sicilian life.
Evening (Nighttime): Gelato. Lots of gelato. I will embrace the sugar coma to come. Stroll. Take pictures. Try not to look like the quintessential tourist, but, let’s be real, I probably will. Stare longingly at the yachts in the harbor. Maybe cry again.
Day 2: Ancient Wonders & a Potential Meltdown
Morning (Oh God, Another Morning?): Breakfast at the hotel. Pray to the gods of breakfast that there is a decent spread. If it’s just dry croissants and instant coffee, I'll be furious. After breakfast, we tackle the Parco Archeologico della Neapoli. The Greek theatre, the Roman amphitheater… I'm expecting to be blown away. I'm also expecting massive crowds. Prepare for a potential claustrophobia-fueled meltdown. I will be armed with water and snacks.
Afternoon (Digging into History): Explore the Ear of Dionysius. Oooo, echoey! Pretend to be a dramatic voice. Pretend I'm a Greek philosopher. Try and not get lost. Maybe I should read up a little on Greek history. Or, no. Nah. Just go with the flow.
Late Afternoon (Cooling Down): Beach time, maybe? Syracuse better have a decent beach. Somewhere to cool down! I need to get my toes in the sand again. I'll probably get burned because I'm terrible with applying sunscreen (sorry, mom!). Hoping for clear water and hopefully not too many aggressive seagulls.
Evening (Dinner & a Little More Sanity): Another dinner spot in Ortigia, maybe trying something completely different this time, maybe seafood. I will not order the octopus. Not tonight. Try to relax. I have a feeling the jetlag is going to catch up with me. Maybe some local wine? I'll rate the wine by ease of drinking.
Day 3: A Day ALL About the Food! (Or, the Day I May Explode from Happiness)
Morning (Food Frenzy Begins): Cooking class! This is it. The highlight. I'm obsessed with Italian food. This is my dream. I hope this cooking class is legit. I'll be sure to take notes. I want to attempt to recreate the deliciousness at home. I hope I don't set anything on fire and that the instructor has a sense of humor (I need this!).
Afternoon (Feast Like a God): Eating the results of that cooking class. I'm prepared to gain a few (or many) pounds. Worth it. I'll be eating everything! Every. Single. Bite. I will be so excited I'll embarrass my travel partner!
Late Afternoon (Food Coma Recovery): Sleep. A nap. I’ll need it. I can’t imagine feeling anything other than completely full. Read. Maybe try to learn some basic Italian phrases. Try to avoid oversleeping.
Evening (Dinner, Round 3): I have to eat even though I am going to feel sick. I'm searching for something light and refreshing. Maybe a little gelato for dessert. I have to go off of my food coma!
Day 4: Adventure or Total Collapse?
Morning (The Questionable Excursion): Should we rent a car and explore the coast? Or should we relax? Should we go to the nature reserve? Or collapse on the couch? Ugh, decisions, decisions… I am leaning towards the beach and/or the couch.
Afternoon (Relaxation or…More?): I probably should do something, which could mean a boat trip, a hike, or maybe even just sit and read a book. I'm tempted to just sit and eat more gelato.
Late Afternoon/Evening (The Farewell Dinner): Dinner somewhere fancy. I probably should try to dress nicely. I'm likely to mess it up. Reflect on the trip. Try not to cry about leaving. I'll try and eat slow and enjoy the last meal. I will cry.
Day 5: Adios, Syracuse! (And Please Get Me Home)
- Morning (The Sad Packing Session): The worst part. Packing. And trying to cram everything back into my suitcase. I will undoubtedly have too many souvenirs and not enough space. Curse the invention of the suitcase.
- Afternoon (The Departure): Head back to the airport. Pray to the luggage gods again. Hope it goes well.
- Evening (The Return): The hardest part. Back home. I'll just be sad.
Things I Need to Remember (Because I Will Forget):
- Passport! (Duh).
- Adapter for the outlets.
- Sunscreen, lots and lots of sunscreen.
- A phrasebook (or Google Translate, which will probably fail spectacularly).
- Comfortable shoes (because I'll walk a lot).
- A journal to document the inevitable chaos.
- My camera (to take a million pictures, mostly of food).
- Patience (for myself and everyone around me).
- A sense of humor (because I'll need it).
This is going to be epic. In a "laughing so hard I cry" kind of way. And hey, if everything goes wrong, at least I'll have some amazing stories to tell. Wish me luck!
Escape to Paradise: Sheraton Suites Fort Lauderdale - Your Florida Getaway
Unbelievable Eurialo Green Suites: Your Syracuse Dream Getaway Awaits! (Or Does It?) A Messy FAQ
Okay, so... what *actually* is Eurialo Green Suites? Is it worth the hype?
Alright, buckle up, because this isn't your cookie-cutter brochure answer. Eurialo Green Suites? Picture this: you're scrolling through Instagram, *drooling* over pics of pristine pools and sun-kissed terraces. That's the curated version. In reality? It's a charming, slightly-worn, collection of apartments tucked away in Syracuse. Think... less "luxury resort" and more "charming grandma's Italian villa, if grandma had a pretty good sense of style."
Hype-wise? Well, it depends. If you're expecting perfection, like everything spotless and brand new, lower those expectations. If you're seeking a genuinely *cool* vibe, a place that feels lived-in and has character? Yeah, you're in the right neighborhood. And honestly? For the price, it's a pretty darn good deal.
What's the deal with the location? Is it actually "dreamy"?
Location, location, location, right? Eurialo is in a part of Syracuse that’s… let's call it 'authentic.' It's NOT smack-dab in the historical center, which, honestly, is a good thing. You're away from the insane tourist crowds (hallelujah!) but still a quick bus ride or even a decent walk to the main attractions. The neighborhood itself has a real local feel, shops, little cafes, and the general buzz of everyday Italian life. You might hear some loud conversations, maybe dogs barking (it is Italy, after all!), but it's all part of the charm. One morning, I swear, I heard a rooster crowing – so ridiculously cliché, I almost cried laughing.
Dreamy? Hmm. Not *quite* the Tuscan countryside. But dreamy in its own way, yeah. It’s a good base for exploring Syracuse. Just be prepared for a bit of a walk or a short bus ride to get to the more famous spots. And for heaven’s sake, learn a few basic Italian phrases. Trust me.
The Suites… are they *actually* green? And are they any good?
Okay, the *green* part… yes, there's greenery. Lots of it. Think lush courtyards, maybe a balcony with vines. And the rooms themselves? They're well-appointed. Not mind-blowing luxury, but comfortable and stylish. Think exposed brick, cool tile floors, and maybe a tiny kitchen (which is *essential* because Italian food is life, and you HAVE to cook!).
The reality check, though: don’t expect perfect uniformity. Some suites are bigger than others. Some have better views. Some have more… personality. I stayed in one that had a slightly wonky door (charming, right?). But honestly, that’s part of the appeal. It’s not a sterile hotel chain; it feels like a real place, lived in and loved. Just make sure to request a suite that fits your needs – and don't be afraid to ask for a different room if something isn't working for you. They were actually pretty accommodating, after a little bit of asking, of course.
Is there a pool? Because, let's be honest, that's important.
*Yes!* There's a pool. It's not Olympic-sized – don't get your hopes up. But it’s beautiful, a secluded oasis surrounded by sun loungers. It's perfect for a cooling dip after a day of exploring. The pool is also where I first experienced the… *Italian way* of doing things. I remember arriving, completely jet-lagged, and just wanting to collapse by the pool. And… there were no towels. I spent a good 20 minutes wandering around, utterly baffled, before finally locating a helpful staff member who explained that you had to *ask* for them. Learn from my mistake! Bring your own towel or, you know, ask nicely. You might even get a smile. It’s also where I started hearing things like people talking and enjoying themselves. It really helped the atmosphere.
What about breakfast? Is it included? And is it any good?
Breakfast? Ah, the breakfast. This is where things get a little… inconsistent. Sometimes, it's included, sometimes it's extra. Always check before you book! When it's included, it’s a pretty standard continental spread: pastries, coffee, some fruit, maybe some yogurt. Nothing to write home about, but it'll get you going.
The real breakfast revelation: I *loved* the little bakery a few blocks down the street. The cornetti (Italian croissants) were *divine*. So, my advice? If you're a breakfast snob (like me), consider skipping the hotel breakfast and venturing out. You might stumble upon something truly amazing. One day I saw a kid eat a entire cornetto in 2 bites and my mind was blown. It was truly an experience.
Is it suitable for families with kids?
Mmm, *maybe*. It depends on your kids. Eurialo Green Suites is more suited to couples or solo travelers. There aren't any dedicated kids' activities or a playground. The pool is great, but it's not the kind of place where you can let your kids run wild. Some suites have more space than others, so that’s a consideration. Think about what your kids enjoy. If they're happy exploring, going on adventures, and appreciating a slower pace of life, then yeah, it could work. If they're used to a kids' club and constant entertainment… probably not. It might also be too loud with so many people around. But if you're willing to embrace the chaos, you'll be fine.
What's the Wi-Fi like? Because, let's be honest again, that's *also* important.
The Wi-Fi… ah, the ever-present struggle. It's generally okay, but don't expect lightning-fast speeds. It's Italy. Sometimes, it's a little spotty. Sometimes, it cuts out entirely, and you have to run around the courtyard trying to connect. If you're planning to work remotely, bring a backup plan. If you're just checking emails and posting Instagram pics, you’ll be fine. And honestly, isn't a little forced disconnection from the digital world part of the appeal of a vacation anyway?
What's the best way to get around? Walking? Buses? Taxis?
Walking is great, especially if you like to soak up the atmosphere and discover hidden gems. From Eurialo, you can walk to some places, but you'll need to factor in some time. Buses are a reliable and inexpensive option. The bus system is good and efficient and runs throughout the city.Find Secret Hotel Deals
