Amenities and special features of this apartment

This lovely flat of just over 100 square metres is located in a building that has been completely renovated with care and good taste. The flat has a bedroom with a bathroom at the entrance but is almost entirely developed on the upper floor where we find another bedroom, a bathroom, a living area with kitchen and a terrace level. It is suitable as a first or second home, and it is attractive to investors who are interested in making an income from it. The property has been completely renovated in a linear style, with the predominant color being modern white that is contrasted by a rustic masonry kitchen and some vintage floors. The terrace at the level of the kitchen overlooks the main street. The flat's double exposure makes it cool and bright. The terrace, the strong point of the property, is exposed to the west, for this reason it is a ventilated and quiet place ideal for relaxing and consuming tasty breakfasts. It’s a nice investment in the short-term rental market or it could also become the owner’s main home.

Syracuse: Location and surroundings of this property

The property is located on via Dione, one of the main arteries of Ortigia. This long, narrow street follows the ancient decumanus major. Starting in front of the entrance to the temple of Apollo, it used to continue along Via Roma, passing the entrance to the temple of Athena (also facing east like all Greek temples). It then continued until it reached the entrance to the temple of Hera, which, according to historians and archaeologists, stood at the end of the present-day Maniace Castle. Via Dione has changed in appearance over time, little by little the ground floors are becoming small shops selling local crafts. In the apartments on the upper floors, the modern blends with the old in a cocktail of colors that recalls art and home automation. Via Dione is a running parallel to Corso Matteotti, Ortigia's famous shopping street, where hundreds of people a day stroll with sporting colourful clothes, ice creams, books and smiles. From the Temple of Apollo to the Fountain of Diana, one can walk among the shops or in the ancient and romantic silence of Via Dione.
