Save to favouritesPrintMailCaol IshkaIt's an alluring name - no less so when you learn that it's Gaelic for 'the sound of water' - but how did Siracusa's coolest hotel earn it? The answer lies in its owners: locally-born Emanuela met her Irish partner Gareth while studying business in London, and together they decided to bring the design hotel concept to a riverside meadow in this delightful corner of south-eastern Sicily. Battling with local bureaucracy, they spent 4 years restoring the family's old stone barns, fitting them with top-label furniture, exuberant bathrooms, grass-and-gravel suntraps and a raised infinity pool. Exteriors were painted pale lilac, interiors cool white or Corbusier-grey. Wicker cube chairs and giant cacti sit on teak decks laid by Gareth; inside, for a bit of fun, ultra-modern lamps and chrome-sleek bathrooms are set off with lavish chandeliers and gilt mirrors. A nouveau-Sicilian [i!http://www.i-escape.com/caol-ishka/eating!restaurant] adds the final touch. If you relish modern design, faultless service and a sound night's sleep, there's no better base for exploring Siracusa and its rich hinterland.
