Apartment del Levante

An introduction to Apartment del Levante

If you’re looking for a stylish getaway with plenty of Sicilian character, the Levante Apartment and Nizza Studios are the perfect retreats. Set right in the heart of Ortigia, Siracusa’s historical centre, these smart holiday pads are housed in 16th-century Baroque buildings, which are the real Italian deal. Think wrought-iron balconies, wood-shuttered windows and terracotta-tiled roofs. Some have sigh-inducing sea views, to boot. And it’s all just a two-minute walk to the town’s beach, shops, bars and restaurants.

Step inside the Apartment del Levante and you’ll see the owner has a flair for interior design. Think crisp White walls matched with coffee-and-cream furnishings. A light and airy three-storey apartment, the ground floor has a small kitchen and a sophisticated dining area with a contemporary table and beautiful tiled floors. Up on the first floor, you’ll find a lounge with a sofa that doubles up as a bed, and French doors that lead out onto a balcony. And if you make your way up to the second floor there’s a double bedroom with another set of French doors which step out onto an impressive roof terrace. What’s more, the sea views from the apartment are first class.

In an almost identical building nearby are the recently refurbished Nizza Studios, three of which are on the first floor and one on the second, which has views of the sea. Small, simple and stylish, they’re kitted out with the same tasteful décor and furnishings as the apartment. Perfect for couples or families, they come with a double bed, plus a sofa bed in the lounge area. Open-plan in design, they also have a dining table, a tiny kitchenette with a hob and fridge and a small balcony. And whether you go for the Apartment del Levante or one of the Nizza Studios, each one has 21st-century gadgets like a CD player and i-Pod docking station.
