Domus

On the first floor of a historical Sicilian building, Domus is enriched with all original materials boasting beautiful tiles and frescoed ceilings, with a true vintage charm and yet very fresh and full of light.

Positioned in an exceptionally central location in the magical peninsula Ortigia (Sicarcusa) this very comfortable two-bedroom apartment, located at the first floor of a charming ancient building of the town, has been recently renovated to obtain, furthering partitioning the space, a comfortable living room, a kitchen area and two bedrooms, both with en-suite bathrooms with showers.

The use of pastel colors, confers to Domus a soft touch, with a hint that reminds of the atmosphere of the 60s and creating an overall soft and elegant house which keeps intact the frescoed vaulted ceilings, the vibrantly colorful tiles that create beautiful geometries and some original vintage furniture pieces.

Just five-minute walking from the seaside, Domus is also located in the beating heart of the town, close to excellent restaurants, shops, and tourist attractions. It is the perfect unconventional hideaway for those who want to have a car-free vacation.
