Frequently Asked Questions
Why Visit Syracuse?
Syracuse is one of the ancient world's most alluring cities, and much of its history is still visible and tangible today. Ortigia, the historic island at its heart, is a labyrinth of Baroque streets, ancient ruins, and seafront squares. The Greek theatre, among the best preserved in the world, is still used for performances each summer. Beginning your escape at one of our Syracuse villas is key to exploring this part of Sicily slowly and sensitively, with the Val di Noto Baroque towns and Vendicari nature reserve close by. Get in touch with our Villa Specialists to plan your visit.
