Located on the first floor of a beautiful building from the 1890’s, “Suite 18” measures about 80 square meters and offers a refined combination of classical elegance and modern creativity. GROUND FLOOR The front door takes you into an open-plan space with a well-equipped kitchen and a dining area; right next to it, you enter the beautiful living area, always flooded with light, with a vaulted ceiling. A comfortable and large sofa, two armchairs and a large flat screen TV make this room ideal for relaxing and reading; you’ll find a selection of books in Italian, English and German. From the balcony, furnished with a table with two chairs, you can follow the coming and going of the boats in the port and enjoy the Sicilian sun with its spectacular sunsets. Next to the balcony, an extendable round table will be the perfect place for your morning coffee, sunset aperitifs and romantic dinners. An elegant bathroom with large shower completes the living area. MEZZANINE On the mezzanine floor, the master bedroom has an en-suite bathroom with large shower and a comfortable wardrobe. Two bicycles (parked in the courtyard of the building) are available for my guests (free of charge).

I am an interpreter-translator in English and French, with a passion for interior design and travelling. I am also passionate about hospitality: “Suite18” will offer you the comfort of a home with the style of a boutique hotel and, to ensure you a memorable stay, I’ll be happy to share with you my tips about the best places to explore in Syracuse and the surrounding territory. The apartment is perfectly equipped for a long stay. You will find quality bed / bath / kitchen linens included in the price: for stays of at least 5 days, you will also have a complete change of towels; for longer stays I will provide you with a weekly change of towels and sheets (no extra charge). The linen is professionally washed to meet sanitary standards and remove bacteria and spores ("LAUNDRY SPA", Avola, SR). Beach towels and a sun umbrella are available for your days on the beach. YOUR SAFETY IS OUR MAIN CONCERN : we already have strict standard cleaning procedures; in this particular period we are taking extra precautions to ensure your safety with a scrupulous use of sanitizing products. I usually welcome my guests in person but SELF- CHECK IN is available on request.
