✍️ Description from the real estate agent

Situated in the historic and charming city of Siracusa, Sicily, this prestigious 19th-century villa is now available for sale. Originally built for a noble Sicilian family, the villa spans 1,000 square meters and is set within a stunning 18,000 square meter garden, featuring a magnificent swimming pool. Located in a sought-after residential area of Siracusa, a city famed for its ancient Greek theatre, rich Archaeological Park, and the picturesque island of Ortigia, it is one of Sicily’s most beloved tourist destinations.

This villa, constructed in the 1800s and later expanded, blends architectural styles from both periods, showcasing a harmonious mix of Baroque, Rococo, and early 20th-century Art Nouveau elements.

The villa's main facade is highlighted by a grand staircase leading to the main floor, supported by elegant stone arches. The upper floor features two terraced balconies, adorned with intricate stone detailing.

Inside, the ground floor offers spacious reception rooms, divided by a solid stone arch, with original plaster ceiling details (although lowered over time). There is also a winter garden, now converted into a reception area, and a side pavilion, which has been transformed into a generous kitchen. A large bathroom and toilet complete this floor.

An elegant wooden staircase, decorated with fine majolica tiles, leads to the main floor. Originally the private living spaces of the owners, this floor has operated as a luxury accommodation for over twenty years. It boasts five bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, as well as a utility room. Two of the bedrooms feature terraces, one with breathtaking sea views, while the others overlook the lush garden. In addition, a private annex on the property houses six independent bedrooms, each with a bathroom and all necessary modern comforts.

The property spans over 18,000 square meters, including a vast garden with ornamental plants, a large swimming pool with a spacious sunbathing area, technical rooms, and an extensive parking area for over 50 vehicles. The garden features several relaxing spots, including walking paths and comfortable benches surrounded by fragrant plants like lavender, marigold, and Sicilian jasmine.

This noble villa is available either as a private residence or as a fully furnished accommodation facility, complete with all accessories and amenities. The historic center of Siracusa, the island of Ortigia, and the renowned Sicilian coastal resorts are all just a short distance away, with Fontanarossa airport also conveniently nearby.
