This little collection of apartments in this historic corner of Sicily are perfect for families travelling together – there's room for socialising and having your own personal space. A blend of classic and contemporary, the modern apartments are housed in a historic building with a balcony and a panoramic terrace that makes a lovely spot for evening drinks. In the heart of Ortigia, you'll be moments away from cultural sites like the Temple of Apollo, a short walk from the beach, and surrounded by authentic Sicilian eateries and bars.
