- 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.
