Ortigia is an island with architectural masterpieces dating from the Greek times. It's located at the center of a magnificent bay with cliffs and beaches, the natural park of 'Plemmirio'. The nearby area is rich with archaeological, historical sites and natural parks. In Syracuse there is a Greek and Roman archaeological site with a theatre still in use. Going west there is Pantalica, a necropolis of the Bronze Age located on impressive canyons, and Palazzolo, the inland Greek outpost. To the south there is the 'baroque capital' of Noto with its magnificent urban views, and the natural park of 'Vendicari ' facing the sea where the natural environment is still untouched. Sea resorts are in 'Fontane Bianche' and 'Arenella', which may also be reached by bus. Main cultural events are the classical Greek theatrical plays in the spring and the 'Ortigia Festival' in the summer.
The "Porta Marina apartments" are located in a small palace dating back to the 15th century on via dei Cordari, a small pedestrian street very close to Piazza Duomo, Porta Marina and the sea front.
The "Fronte Mare apartments" are situated in a small palace on Lungomare, facing directly the sea and the cliffs of Forte Vigliena.
The apartments have been recently renovated using traditional materials and retain several old architectural and decorative elements (face exposed arches and niches).
The apartments are perfectly suited for a comfortable stay in the heart of Ortigia, the historical centre of Syracuse.
