Villa Aretusa · Ortigia

A whitewashed two-bedroom villa a few steps from the lungomare of Ortigia, the island heart of Siracusa. Mornings start with espresso on the roof terrace looking over the Ionian Sea; afternoons end in the small pool among lemon trees. Inside: a cool stone-floored living room, a marble kitchen stocked for long dinners, and two quiet bedrooms with linen curtains. The Duomo, the Fonte Aretusa and the morning market of Via de Benedictis are all under ten minutes on foot.
