About The Experience
In the land of the year-long summer, warm days and nights will usher you through streets lined with baroque palazzos, from the edge of the Ionian sea to your Siracusa rental apartment on Ortigia. In the evening you'll return to this accommodation in Sicily to rest your feet and perhaps enjoy a glass of wine as you admire the views from the rooftop terrace of this ancient palazzo apartment in Siracusa you call-- if only for a short time-- home.
Location Description
This apartment building is located in a characteristic and quiet alley in the heart of historical Siracusa (Syracuse), on Ortigia. Separated from the land by a small channel, Ortigia Island is the site of the original Greek city; its ancient streets are best explored on foot. The apartment itself is within a stone's throw of Aretusa Fountain (inspiration to both Ovid and Virgil) and the Piazza Duomo with its cathedral, two key sites within the pseudo-island. Within the heart of Ortigia, countless palazzos line the streets, once homes of the Sicilian aristocracy. Maniace Castle is located on the southern tip of the island. Also in the area is Neapolis Archeological Park, 240,000 square meters of Greek and Roman ruins, including Dionysus' Ear, a cavern with amazing acoustic properties, and the ruins of a huge Greek amphitheatre.

    Customer Reviews

    Overall:
    The view from the rooftop terrace was very nice, and a great place to have some wine at night.
    Enjoyed Most:
    It was right in the center of Ortigia Island. Also, the staff was great.
    Enjoyed Least:
    The room I stayed had a hardwood ceiling, which looked great. However, this seemed to amplify noise from the unit above. For example you could hear coins drop or chairs being dragged across the floor.
    Surrounding Area:
    Ortigia Island is fantastic.
    Nearby Events or Locales:
    You are within walking distance of market and restaurants.
    Tips or Restaurants:
    I had a great time cooking. There is a fresh produce market near Piazza Duomo, a grocery store on Via Roma.
