Overview
With its private roof-top terrace, its panoramic views out to sea and its position at the centre of Ortygia, the island heart of what was once the greatest city in Magna Graecia, Archimede is one of the most desirable apartments for rent in Siracusa. Just a short walk away is the Duomo, the main piazza and a myriad of charming streets lined with Baroque palaces, shops, restaurants and bars. For anyone wishing to spend a few days exploring this fascinating town, Archimede is the perfect solution.
The Property
Inside: the apartment is spread over the second and third floors of a sea-front townhouse. It has been lovingly restored and furnished throughout with great taste and quality. The second floor is home to a bed-cum-living room with a double bed alcove, a set of sofas and armchairs and wonderful sea views, a double room with en-suite bathroom, a bathroom with separate walk-in shower and a laundry room. Upstairs is the well-equipped kitchen, a dining room and access to the fantastic roof-top terrace.
Outside: the part of the house where you will probably spend most of your time is the delightful panoramic terrace offering views over the sea and the coastline. Sprinkled with seats and cushions it also has a dining table for memorable al fresco lunches and dinners.
The Area
Following the defeat of the Athenians in 413 BC Syracuse was arguably the most important city in the Mediterranean (and hence perhaps the world). Remains of that period are beautifully preserved in Ortygia, at Neapolis and in the fabulous archeological museum, all of which are within a few minutes walk or drive of Archimede. Syracuse is not just an Ancient Greek museum however. The old baroque island city of Ortygia offers a marvelous choice of restaurants, bars and shops in beautiful piazzas and on the sea front. Also within easy distance are white sandy beaches, towns such as Noto, Modica and Ragusa, Mount Etna, and much more.
