Description Isola Jewel: Siracusa

Found on the picturesque island of Ortigia within minutes of Piazza Duomo, this apartment is full of classy touches. From its setting within a historical Sicilian courtyard to its tiled bathroom, antique mirrors and tasteful furnishings, there's lots to admire about the home, ideal for couples or solo travellers looking for a coastal getaway. While there is space for other guests thanks to the sofa bed in the living area, this is kept separate from the bedroom and balcony by a large wardrobe rather than a dividing wall. As well as the neighbourhood of Ortigia on your doorstep, you'll be walking distance from Syracuse and its ancient sights, including the grand Greek theatre.

Home truths:
*At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area. This space is separated from the bedroom by a wardrobe, so privacy is still somewhat limited.
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair for free. You'll need to request them in advance.
