Apartment in the hearth of Ortigia
Located in the heart of the renowned island of Ortigia, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this elegant apartment is situated on the first floor of a historic building, between the Foro Italico, Piazza Archimede and Piazza del Duomo.
The historic building, once owned by a noble family, was constructed in the 18th century. It stands close to important historic palaces and the monumental Church of the Jesuit College. With a surface area of approximately 300 mq (3230 sq ft) the property has preserved its original ′enfilade′ layout and remarkable ceiling heights.
Accessible from an internal courtyard, the apartment enjoys dual exposure: on one side, five carved stone balconies with views of the marina; on the other, a private terrace, perfect for enjoying outdoor moments. Currently, the property includes two studies, a reception room, a dining room and two bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. A different layout can easily be created to suit personal requirements. Significant restoration works have been carried out on the façade, floors and roof, with full respect for the historic features of the building.
This apartment offers an excellent opportunity for those wishing to live in a prestigious yet comfortable setting, right in the heart of the city, with easy access to both essential amenities and the vibrant cultural life of Ortigia. Finally, the property is just 2 minutes from the sea, 20 minutes from the Plemmirio Reserve and 45 minutes from Catania Fontanarossa Airport.
