Syracuse, Syracuse, Sicily, Italy

In the heart of Ortigia, where time seems to slow down and every stone tells a story, a historic residence opens onto the silent splendor of the Municipal Theatre. Facing its neoclassical façade, framed by the southern light, a property comes to life that unites elegance, proportion, and historical depth. Within an ancient noble palace, nestled in a luminous and enchanting courtyard, this two-level home knows how to welcome, inspire, and protect.
On the second floor, the spacious and light-filled rooms comprise the living area: airy spaces, bathed in light that filters through the windows and gently caresses the walls. On the upper level, tranquility reigns. The large balcony of the bedrooms opens towards the sky, and a second bathroom completes the sleeping area. From here, you access an enchanting south-facing terrace, where your gaze meets the theatre and drifts among rooftops, domes, and light clouds. It's a place to read at dawn, dine at sunset, and listen to the breath of the ancient city.
This structure lends itself to multiple interpretations: a private residence of timeless charm, an artistic retreat, or a dwelling to be divided into multiple units, perfect for welcoming travelers from all over the world. The existing systems on the upper floor offer complete freedom to reinvent the spaces, with the possibility of bringing the living area into direct contact with the terrace. A home that doesn't just get lived in; it's traversed, contemplated, and truly experienced. In the island's heart, between history and light, beauty and vision.
