Syracuse, Syracuse, Sicily, Italy

This exclusive property is located on Via Cavour in Ortigia, the historical centre of the city of Syracuse, within a building that can be accessed through an internal courtyard. The flat is spread over the first floor, with a total area of approx. 260 sqm, and includes two terraces for exclusive use. At the entrance, a large hall serves as a hallway for all the rooms of the flat, which feature the ancient beauty of the Sicilian harmonic style. Particular attention is paid to the floors, the height of the ceilings and the doors, some of which are double-leafed. The flat is mostly on one level except for a small area of about 25 sq m which is located on an upper floor with direct access to a large terrace of about 35 sqm. The property is in need of renovation. In fact the traditional layout of the rooms, one after the other and in close communication with each other, can be modified according to the needs of the new owner. The ample square footage allows a new restyling of the space so that it can be arranged both as a private residence and as a flat to be used for tourist accommodation. One advantage is that the flat currently has 3 bathrooms located in three different parts of the building, with the possibility to create ensuite bathrooms to the rooms. The interior spaces are very bright thanks to the presence of openings along the perimeter of the flat, allowing one to fully enjoy the natural light. The property includes balconies and two terraces, one of which is accessible from the large entrance hall and from which you can enjoy a view of Ortigia's rooftops with the sea in the background. Here you can enjoy a nice drink or a romantic dinner accompanied by the magical colours of the sunset in the bay.
The apartment is located in Via Cavour, the heart of the island of Ortigia, the historic center of the city of Syracuse, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The "Old Town" as defined in ancient times, is characterized by a labyrinth of alleys surrounding the ancient ruins, Baroque palaces, churches and main squares including Piazza del Duomo. The excellent location of the apartment allows you to walk to all points of interest such as the Temple of Apollo, Corso Matteotti, an area dedicated to shopping, and the Maniace Castle, built by Frederick II in 1239. The city also has a splendid port flanked by palm trees and palaces, which makes Syracuse not only a place to explore the past, but also to enjoy the lively atmosphere of the present while strolling along the entire seafront. The island of Ortigia allows direct connections to the motorway and the railway station located at a distance of about 10 minutes by car.
