Description
This prestigious flat is located on the first floor of a historic building in the Umbertina district, a few hundred metres from Ortigia and the Umbertino bridge from which it takes its name. Excellent finishes, numerous openings that fill the rooms with natural light and high ceilings characterise this precious living solution, consisting of twelve rooms plus terrace. The property has a double exposure and was created from the merger of two adjoining flats, which still retain the double entrance door, thus maintaining the possibility of conversion into two separate living units. The flat currently consists of a large double living room, a study, four bedrooms, kitchen and two bathrooms on the first floor. On the upper level, there are three utility rooms and a large terrace of 30 square metres, ideal for relaxing or entertaining guests. Thanks to its excellent location, the property represents a good investment both for those who wish to have a wonderful residence in a strategic position, and for those who decide to start a charming accommodation facility a short distance from Ortigia.
The flat is about 400 metres from the Ponte Umbertino, the older of the two bridges that connect the island of Ortigia to the mainland. The flat is located in the ‘Umbertino’ neighbourhood, a historic district with elegant buildings from the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The neighbourhood is rich in shops of all kinds and is well served by public transport. In recent years, thanks to its strategic location, this area has become an extension of the historic centre, as it is possible to reach Ortigia on foot while remaining outside the ZTL, the restricted zone. The train station and the buses that connect Syracuse with all the other Sicilian provinces are only 500 metres from the house. Another advantage not to be underestimated is the proximity to the Sant'Antonio car park, one of the largest guarded car parks in the city.
