Syracuse, Syracuse, Sicily, Italy

In the heart of the Umbertina area, on the third floor of an elegant historical building, is this prestigious flat, a short walk from Ortigia and the famous Umbertino Bridge. Bright and spacious, with high-level finishes and impressive ceilings, it offers seven rooms plus a splendid terrace. The corner exposure offers a double view, one of which over the verdant 'Villini' municipal park, one of the few green spaces in the area. The flat is on two levels: on the first floor there is a large living room connected to a large kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom; on the upper floor there is a bedroom with en-suite bathroom and a 15 sq. m. terrace, perfect for relaxing or receiving guests. The strategic location makes this property an excellent investment, ideal both as an exclusive residence and to start up a successful accommodation business just a few steps from Ortigia.
The flat is about 100 metres from the Ponte Umbertino, the older of the two bridges that connect the island of Ortigia to the mainland. The flat is located in the 'Umbertino' neighbourhood, a historic district with elegant buildings from the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The neighbourhood is rich in shops of all kinds and is well served by public transport. In recent years, thanks to its strategic location, this area has become an extension of the historic centre, as it is possible to reach Ortigia on foot while remaining outside the ZTL, the restricted zone. The train station and the buses that connect Syracuse with all the other Sicilian provinces are only 500 metres from the house. Another advantage not to be underestimated is the proximity to the Sant'Antonio car park, one of the largest guarded car parks in the city.
