We can't get enough of the view from this apartment. Right by the coast on Syracuse's Island of Ortigia, it boasts a sea-facing terrace that has alfresco dinners and evening sundowners written all over it. Inside, the living space is bright, open, and fairly modern in design. Two guests will sleep on a sofa bed here, but we think that's a worthwhile trade to be in such a well-connected location. Shops, restaurants, and must-visit landmarks are all within walking distance.
