Domus Ottavia in Ortigia

Just a few minutes from Piazza Duomo, the “Domus Ottavia in Ortigia” welcomes you to offer a unique stay in the heart of the ancient historic center of Syracuse, on the island of Ortigia, with over three millennia of history.

The spacious and bright apartment is accessible through a rare and evocative medieval pointed arch that leads into a quiet and charming courtyard, immediately giving the feeling of entering a place full of memory and authenticity.

The building, only two stories high, dates back to the early years of the last millennium. On the first floor, passing through the entrance door, you will find cozy spaces carefully curated in every detail. Exposed stone, original ceilings, and Modica stone flooring tell the history of the building, while refined furnishings and modern comforts ensure a high-level experience.

The large dining room, with its elegant round stone mosaic table and French door leading to a delightful balcony, is the heart of the home, complemented by a practical and functional kitchenette.

The living room, with its high vaulted ceiling and French door opening onto a balcony bathed in sunlight from the early hours of the morning—a true delight, especially in winter—is perfect for moments of relaxation. The view of a quiet internal courtyard and the comfortable sofa bed ensure peace and comfort even for the most demanding guests.

A charming study area leads to the bedroom, dominated by a precious walnut bed from Sorrento, a refined work of craftsmanship from another era.

The apartment is completed by a comfortable and well-organized bathroom, preceded by a practical hallway with a laundry area.

The apartment is equipped with air conditioning (with winter heating function), wooden shutters on the windows, two satellite Smart TVs, and excellent Wi-Fi.

Just a few steps away is the Forte Vigliena beach, with free access and crystal-clear water, ideal for a quick dip during the hottest days.

Upon request, we can help you arrange a paid transfer from Catania airport or book a parking space in a private garage just a few steps from the house, with 24-hour ZTL access permission in Ortigia for the entire duration of your stay.
