About the hotels
In Rome, stay at C-Hotels Club House, a 4-star property in the east of the city. It's less than 10 minutes' walk from the nearest Metro station, Cornelia. From here, it's a 15-minute journey into Rome's city centre. 

This deal includes a hop-on, hop-off bus tour of Rome, so you can see the sights with ease. We recommend grabbing a coffee and relaxing in Piazza del Popolo for top-tier people watching.  

Lanterne Magiche Ortigia is located on Isola di Ortiga, the most romantic corner of Syracuse. Standard Apartments are equipped with a small kitchenette with a coffee machine and a microwave. Wi-Fi is free throughout.

Breakfast is included for Travelzoo members. Each morning, wake to a continental breakfast comprising various meats, cheeses, and pastries. Fresh coffee is also provided. 

Areas of Sicily were once part of Ancient Greece. Syracuse was the largest city of the empire. You'll be walking distance from many attractions, or you can rent bicycles for a fee. Tour the Temple of Apollo, chill in the Baroque Piazza del Duomo, or visit Aretusa Beach. History buffs can explore the nearby Neapolis Archaeological Park. Marvel at the 5th-century BC amphitheatre and countless ruins. The park is a 10-minute taxi ride away. 

About the Intercity Notte
Travel from Rome to Syracuse aboard the Intercity Notte sleeper train. You'll stay overnight in a Couchette Cabin, which sleeps up to four people. During the day the bunk-style beds are folded down into seats. When it's time to sleep, they convert into beds. You'll be provided with clean linen and bedding, plus bottled water and toiletries. There's a dining carriage, where you'll have breakfast the next morning. 

This is the only route in Europe where the train is transported by ferry. The entire train will travel across the Strait of Messina by ferry, before continuing to Syracuse. Wake to stunning views the next morning.
