Flat in the heart of Ortigia, Syracuse.
In the beating heart of Ortigia, nestled among the ancient stones of Syracuse, just 170 metres from the sea, lies a little gem: an elegant, lovingly restored residence. Here, amid the narrow streets that tell of a glorious past, time seems to slow down, accompanied by the sea breeze of the eastern seafront, the salty scent and the distant echo of the voices that enliven the sun-drenched piazzas.
As you ascend to the first floor, you are greeted by an entrance hall that introduces you to the rooms, where Sicilian tradition blends harmoniously with contemporary comfort. The floors, renovated in 2019, reflect the warm light filtering through the modern light fittings, while the recent renovation has highlighted the house's ancient soul, respecting its shapes and materials with great sensitivity.
The spacious, light-filled kitchen, with its practical utility room, is the heart of the house: a convivial space where the light dances across the surfaces, highlighting the sober, elegant design. Perfect for a slow breakfast in the morning or an intimate dinner after a day among the wonders of the island, it invites conviviality with naturalness and warmth.
Continuing on, you enter the first bedroom, a haven of peace and comfort. The generous space houses a comfortable dressing room, while the adjoining bathroom, meticulously designed down to the smallest detail, is transformed into a wellness area where you can relax, immersed in the silence of the Ortigian nights and the timeless charm of the house.
The second bedroom, just as welcoming, is ideal for guests or as an additional private space, while retaining the intimate, refined atmosphere that characterises the entire house. A second bathroom, also complete and finely finished, adds functionality and comfort, making each room harmonious and well-organised.
Looking out of the window, you can breathe in the soul of the alleyway: the light-coloured stone tells the story of centuries of history, while the discreet passage of the inhabitants accompanies the golden hues of the sunset.
To live here is to immerse yourself in the authenticity of Ortigia, to enjoy the magic of a place that, although carefully renovated, retains its original spirit.
This house is not just a house: it is an experience to be lived, a fragment of history to be inhabited, a precious refuge in the heart of one of the most fascinating islands in the Mediterranean.
