About this property
Romantic apartment in the heart of Ortigia with panoramic terrace!
Our holiday home is located in the heart of Ortigia, the island and historic center of Syracuse, a UNESCO heritage site, in a historic 19th century building, recently renovated and restored to its original splendor. The location is perfect: a few steps from the sea, from Fonte Aretusa and halfway between the Duomo and Castello Maniace.
It is a two-room apartment located on the first floor of the building.
It is called "Fate", for the magical and suggestive atmosphere that you breathe in it. It consists of a living room - kitchen, bedroom, bathroom with shower and large terrace. The living room-kitchen is characterized by an ancient stone arch and a well with a niche from the 1800s. Through a typical masonry staircase you enter the bedroom, with a window on the characteristic roofs of Ortigia and on the courtyard below where stands a majestic citrus tree which in spring gives the precious scents of its flowering. The furniture is made with antique Sicilian furniture. A lovely wooden staircase (rather steep) leads to the terrace, from which you can enjoy a picturesque view over the roofs of Ortigia; the terrace is made comfortable by a large umbrella, table and delightful armchairs. From here you can enjoy a drink, lunch or enjoy a romantic dinner. It allows you to appreciate the pleasant evening sea breeze and also transform into a pleasant solarium. It is embellished with typical local plants.
It can accommodate a maximum of 2 people.
