About this property
House on 3 floors | Large kitchen & terrace | 50m from sea | Long stays
Casa Vicolo IV is set in a former palazzo (independent building) on 3 floors. It is located on a quiet car-free street in the heart of the former Jewish quarter - la Giudecca - only 2 minutes walk from the sea. It has 2 large bedrooms, 2 recently renovated bathrooms, a spacious modern kitchen, indoor and outdoor living areas including a large terrace for alfresco dining overlooking the rooftops of Ortigia.
Perfect for longs stays, Casa Vicolo IV is light and airy with contrasting textures and textiles and natural elements against a white backdrop. On the terrace is a dining table made of volcanic lava from nearby Mount Etna.
Upon entry there is a hallway that leads to an indoor patio and a living area with an overhead fan and original cement tile floors. A quiet and cool retreat, this space is ideal for reading, doing yoga or taking an afternoon nap.
On the first floor are 2 bedrooms, each with a queen size (160cm) bed, air conditioning and radiator heating, and French doors overlooking either the street or the patio. There are 2 recently renovated bathrooms and between the bedrooms there is a living area with an overhead fan and a smart TV.
Stairs up to the second floor lead to the kitchen and a dining and living area with French doors overlooking the patio with air conditioning and radiator heating, a study desk and a selection of local travel guides. The fully equipped modern kitchen – complete with dishwasher and kitchen appliances – opens onto the terrace.
Within walking distance is access to 3 different swimming areas (rocky swimming point next to Forte Vigliena; the pebble beach Cala Rossa; small sandy beach near the Giardino Aretusa); the Duomo and Archimede squares, the Aretusa fountain and the Apollo temple; historic Jewish baths and puppet theatre; the lovely daily food market; and some of the best granita and gelato in the world!
A limited number of private car parking spaces may be booked on request, providing car access to the island at all times including during ZTL periods ('zona a traffico limitato' i.e. limited traffic zone). Private car parking located 300m from the house at €20/day, with opening hours: Monday-Saturday 7:00am - midnight; Sundays 8:00 - 11:00am and 6:00pm - midnight.
Please note: Our house was recently renovated, with new bathrooms, a radiator heating system and various other improvements (updated photos forthcoming).
