Do you have a question about this home or the local area?

Hidden among the olive trees of Syracuse, this home caught our eye with its seafront location and peaceful garden. It’s also a great base from which to explore the most stunning spots of the region – the Baroque cities of Syracuse and Noto are a short drive away, while the beaches of Avola and Fontane Bianche are also within easy reach. You will need a car here, but your host can help organise car rentals along with a range of excursions. And while the rooms are basic, we think most of your time will be spent outside, admiring the views from the jacuzzi.


The Plum Promise

  • No time for average – We reject thousands of homes worldwide, so you don't have to.
  • Hosts we know – With track records of high-quality hosting.
  • Rated ‘Excellent’ on Trustpilot – Exceptional service before, during and after your stay.

About Syracuse

At the mention of Syracuse, many people will be familiar with the coastal Sicilian city brimming with Greek and Roman architecture, but perhaps less so with the wider province that shares the same name.
