Contemporary living meets Sicilian charm in this traditional home. Located in the historic area of Ortigia, you'll be surrounded by ancient streets contrasting this stylishly modern apartment. Decorated with warm tones reminiscent of the colours of the desert, this is an ideal home for a romantic getaway with your loved one. Start your day by flinging open the window shutters in the bedroom and enjoying cornettis and fresh orange juice in bed, and end the day by indulging in a glass of moscato wine on the romantic outdoor balcony area. This home is made by love for those who are in love. The Ortigia area you'll be located in is just as romantic to explore considering it is steeped in history as part of Syracuse. Wander the streets on your doorstep and discover picturesque squares to while away time in, or take a short walk down to Cala Rossa beach to marvel at stunning azure waters. A picnic here will be an afternoon well spent. Make sure to sample the local granitas during your stay here – they're something special.
