Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
There are some homes that take your breath away. This is one of them. It's not every day that you see so much designer furniture and artwork in one space. But it's not to the extreme – the pallet is kept neutral with dark-toned woods and shades of brown and grey that make this home inviting and comfortable, while the splashes of colour, funky artwork and contemporary furniture make it interesting. There's even a grand piano, for late-night singalong sessions. We love this interior, but the outdoor area takes the cake. With an infinity pool overlooking the Bay of Syracuse, it's the kind of view that stops you in your tracks. It doesn't get much better than stepping outside to lush greenery, a sparkling pool, and that sweeping vista. Spend your days lounging by the pool, overlooking the bay and the city of Syracuse, taking all-important dips in the heat. And an extra special touch is the private access to a secluded cove below, the ideal spot for morning swims in the crystal clear Ionian sea. Come sunset, the changing colours of the sky reflect on the pool, which begins to light up with neon lights. The perfect place to watch the... sunset is in the Ibiza-style conversation pit beside the pool, drinks around this table feel like you're in your own private beach club. When the sunset draws to a close, the glittering city lights in the distance and the pool of neon technicolour stand out against the dark – you could easily lose track of time looking out at the view. From the cool graffiti-style artwork to the pool illuminated with neon colours by night, we think a group of friends will have a blast staying here. And you're just a twenty-minute drive from the historic city of Syracuse and its old town Ortigia, which are teeming with mesmerising ancient sites, incredible art galleries and museums, as well as chic cocktail and wine bars.
