We offer a splendid seafront penthouse in Ortigia, within the historic Palazzo Blanco, a prestigious 17th-century Baroque building that once belonged to the noble family of the same name, still owned by Baroness Vincenzina Anna Carmela Blanco. The building represents one of the most elegant examples of historic Syracuse architecture, appreciated for its refined decorations, finely crafted balconies, and harmonious proportions. It was also designed by Vermexio, as evidenced by the presence of his unmistakable signature: the famous gecko in the internal courtyard, an element that further enhances its historical and symbolic value.
The apartment spans approximately 130 square meters and features a balanced and functional layout. Unique in its kind, it offers splendid sea views from every room. The spacious and bright living room is the heart of the home and is adorned with frescoes and vaulted ceilings, perfectly integrated into the original architectural context. The utility area includes a separate kitchenette, designed for operational purposes. The sleeping area consists of two generously sized bedrooms and a bathroom.
The property also includes a 30m2 terrace with sea views, a particularly valuable feature that enhances the property and offers an ideal outdoor space for relaxation and socializing, in a historic setting of rare beauty overlooking the legendary Archimedean port.
Located in the historic district of Ortigia, Siracusa, this property offers unparalleled access to cultural heritage with Castello Maniace and the Cathedral of Syracuse nearby. Enjoy leisurely walks along the seafront and explore the local fine dining and boutique shopping. Conveniently close to efficient public transport, the location grants ease of access to both the Mediterranean coastline and vibrant city life.
