About this property

170 sqm house, on 3 levels, top floor terrace, 50 m from the seA

Casa Vicolo is set in an former palazzo (independent building) on 3 floors. It is located on a quiet car-free street in the heart of the historic centre of Siracusa, the former Jewish quarter "Giudecca", only 2 minutes walk from the sea with lovely swimming access (rocky beach + bathing platform in the summer time). It is composed of 2 large bedrooms, 2 modern bathrooms, a very spacious modern kitchen, indoor and outdoor living areas including a large terrace for alfresco dining overlooking the rooftops of Ortigia.

Casa Vicolo is light and airy, adopting a warm industrial style with wood and metal contrasting textiles and other natural elements against a white backdrop. The house enjoys an expansive terrace whose dining table is made of volcanic lava from nearby Mount Etna.

Upon entry there is a hallway that leads to an indoor patio as well as a living area with an overhead fan and original cement tile floors. A quiet and cool retreat, this space is ideal for reading, doing yoga (yoga mat, pilates ball and other equipment is available in the room) or taking an afternoon nap.

On the first floor are 2 bedrooms, each with a queen size bed, air conditioning/heating and French doors overlooking either the street or the patio. There are 2 bathrooms and between the bedrooms there is a living area with an overhead fan and a television (smart TV).

Stairs up to the second floor lead into a dining area with seating for 6 people and a living area with French doors overlooking the patio. The dining/living area has air conditioning/heating, a study desk and a selection of local travel guides. The fully equipped modern kitchen – complete with dishwasher and washing machine, among other kitchen appliances – opens onto the terrace.

Within walking distance are different swimming accesses of Ortigia (bathing platform is 1 minute on foot, rocky beach is 2 minutes); the Duomo and Archimede squares, the Aretusa fountain and the Apollo temple (5-10 minutes); historic Jewish baths and puppet theatre (around the corner); the lovely daily food market (10 minutes); and some of the best gelateria (ice cream stores) in the world!

Great location, nice apartment.
Lovely apartment in a great location. Walking distance of everything Ortigia has to offer, restaurants, shops, sights. Comfortable and well air conditioned, Nice roof terrace but too hot to use when we were there despite awning. We had a couple of issues at the apartment one identified before we arrived and corrected after the weekend. Communication with agent over second issue was less than ideal, resulting in a very frosty check out.

Great holiday stay
Large house in a quiet residential area. Ortigia is small so you are only a few minutes away from lots of cafes and restaurants. Efficient aircon and well equipped kitchen. Sadly we could hardly use the beautiful terrace during the day as there were building renovations next door, but it was lovely in the evening. Great to have the whole house to ourselves.

Perfect Spot in Ortigia
A lovely split-level apartment in a little side street in Giudecca, with a big open terrace where you can eat and drink. Bedrooms and bathrooms are on the lower level, and the living room and well-equipped kitchen on the top level with doors opening out onto the terrace. Location is great: a two-minute walk to the swimming platform and only a few more to Cala Rossa pebble beach. The immediate are is really interesting and full of great little restaurants, cafes and bars (Supernatural and Dada spring to mind, but there are many) and is more laid-back and less hectic than some other parts of the town. Although everywhere is just glorious: the Duomo is stunning, the side streets running down to the sea, Lungomare Alfeo and its sunset restaurants and bars and even the newly developed marina has some swanky (but not over-priced at all) bars to greet the yachts. Stephanie sorted everything out perfectly, the place is great, the town is magical - and really great value almost everywhere you go. Shop at the market for fresh fish, fruit, veg - all superb and really cheap. A great place.
