Syracuse, Syracuse, Sicily, Italy

The property is located on the Maddalena Peninsula and enjoys a beautiful position surrounded by aristocratic villas. These villas are an evidence of the architectural and urbanistic transition that took place in the Syracuse area between the late 19th and early 20th century, a period in which numerous new villas were built by notables of the time as summer residences. The property is an early 20th century farmhouse with a commercial surface area of 160 square metres spread over a single level and surrounded by a beautiful garden of almost 2,000 metres. Despite the fact that the property is only a portion of the old farmhouse and has one side in common with another house, it maintains absolute privacy both in terms of outdoor spaces and in terms of acoustic insulation inside the house thanks to its load-bearing masonry walls.
The property consists of a kitchen, living room, three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a beautiful 40 square metre veranda overlooking the garden. The square footage of the property also includes a 30-square-metre garage attached to the house.
The property's strong point is the large and lush garden from which one can admire the splendid view of the sea and the big harbour, including on clear days the view of the imposing volcano Etna.
Although the house has been partially renovated, a careful remodelling could bring out its full strengths.
The property is located in the Isola district just a few minutes from Ortigia, the historic centre of Syracuse, not far from the entrance to the motorway. Catania airport Fontanarossa is less than an hour away. The resort is part of the Maddalena Peninsula, a peninsula south of Syracuse which is the closest beach resort to the city centre. On the Maddalena Peninsula there are several places of historical and natural interest. One of the most popular is the Pillirina, an area rich in archaeological finds from past eras, from prehistoric times to the Greek era. La Pillirina has two very characteristic unspoilt beaches and a landscape that has remained practically unchanged over the years. Finally, at the southern end is Faro Capo Murro di Porco, with its sheer cliffs overlooking the sea, offering a stunning view.
