Unmatched Location and Views
This isn’t just a sea view—it’s a spectacle. From the large terrace and private garden, marvel at a dynamic panorama of sailboats, yachts, and local Sicilian life. Watch sailors, paddleboarders, and Sicilian families enjoying their boats, often moored side by side. The view extends to the Rock of Gallera, a relic of Greek antiquity, perfect for snorkelling or exploration.
Private Access to the Sea
Enjoy exclusive access to the sea leading into shallow, crystal-clear waters ideal for all ages. For beach lovers, a secluded beach next to the property offers another easy access point to the sea, perfect for families with children.
Outdoor Living at Its Best
The expansive terrace on the same level features a large dining table for 12, where you can savour meals against the backdrop of this unique seascape. Relax on outdoor sofas and sunbeds—shaded yet still offering magnificent views—enjoy the private garden, and watch the sunset over the Ionian Sea.
A Culinary Paradise
Cooking enthusiasts will adore the outdoor kitchen, complete with a Komodo barbecue, and the spacious indoor kitchen equipped with high-end appliances such as an extra-large oven, a wide digital hob, two refrigerators (including a US-style refrigerator), and a juicer for fresh Sicilian citrus. Inside, a lava stone table seats 12 for cosy meals overlooking a charming cactus oasis.
Elegant and Comfortable Interiors
The property’s design is a refined blend of Italian elegance and modern aesthetics. The large communal area, featuring a living room with a 1970s-inspired design, invites relaxation with its plush furnishings, a dining room, and an open kitchen. Four bedrooms face the sea, offering a dreamy morning view, while the other two overlook an exotic garden. The entire apartment is fully equipped with air conditioning and heating for the cooler months.
Each bedroom is well-equipped and also offers the possibility of working remotely. Heavy modern curtains provide perfect protection from the warm Sicilian sun. All bedrooms are well-separated from one another to ensure everyone’s privacy while allowing guests to stay on the same floor.
Luxurious Bathrooms and Amenities
One bathroom includes a bathtub, while the others are equipped with Italian-style walk-in showers, all featuring artisanal tiles from Mount Etna that add a touch of local artistry. Three bathrooms feature spectacular views of the bay.

The property is located in Isola, which is part of Syracuse. By car, you can reach Ortigia in about 15 minutes; by boat, it takes even less time. During the summer, a bus takes you to Syracuse or Plemmirio, a natural marine reserve on the other side of the bay. It’s the perfect location to explore Syracuse and its Greek Theatre and the Ear of Dionysus, as well as historic Ortigia with its churches, cathedrals, narrow streets, Castello Maniace, and lively food market. From the apartment, it’s easy to visit the beautiful cities of Modica, Ragusa, or Noto (a 35–45-minute drive) or to enjoy the stunning sandy beaches along the coast, such as the Vendicari Nature Reserve, Marzamemi, and more. Syracuse offers all the conveniences of a modern city for those who wish (shopping centers, supermarkets…).
This exceptional property is a haven for those seeking the charm of Sicilian coastal living, historic beauty, and modern comforts. Whether you’re sipping coffee on the terrace, exploring nearby snorkelling spots, or enjoying a family meal, this apartment promises an unforgettable stay.
