La casa della Scrittrice

Prestigious apartment in Syracuse in the heart of Ortigia, the “Casa della scrittrice” is located in Palazzo Francica Nava, a fifteenth-century building that - as often happens on this magical island - mixes different eras and styles, from the Gothic-Catalan evident in the entrance hall and the wonderful entrance portal, to the Baroque of the balconies and upper floors.
Here is the acropolis of Ortigia, the place where the ancient Greek colonists arrived and where its goddesses live, the treasure chest of the history of this city.
Thirty-five are the steps that, exiting from the large wooden door, lead us from Via Landolina to Piazza Duomo, one of the most beautiful squares in the world.
The apartment, located on the second and last floor, with its floors is made of the very body of Sicily: the white stone of which Syracuse is made, the lava stone that recalls Etna, the sandstone that evokes the sand of the coasts.
The furnishings are cared for in every detail, combining comfort and beauty, the intensity and charm of antique furniture and the lightness of contemporary design. And the windows that open onto the baroque capitals of the nearby church of the Jesuit College are real paintings, a unique landscape from a house full of light and visions of the sky.
The apartment consists of a kitchen-living room, communicating and separable by a large sliding door, living room, study (also usable as a separate bedroom), double bedroom, two bathrooms (with shower and bathtub respectively), walk-in closet, laundry room.
Equipped with a double entrance, it overlooks a delightful gallery, an intimate and silent corner, an open-air oasis.
Inhabited and crossed by artists, women and men of the theater, film actresses, masters of photography, the house has, like its owner, a literary vocation: some of her books were "born" in these very rooms.
The study, with its shelves full of books of different genres and languages, is accessible to the guests of the apartment, who will be able to consult and enjoy the large library while experiencing the beauty of the city, resonating with the special soul of its places. .
