Via San Martino, Ortigia, Siracusa, Sicilia, 96100
This property, of remarkable historical and architectural significance, was designed and built by the architect Luciano Ali in 1780.
The building has been restored with exceptional philological accuracy, fully preserving the original spirit of the residence while incorporating every possible enhancement in terms of comfort, functionality, and modern living standards.
The townhouse is located directly opposite the Church of Church of San Martino and adjacent to both the Palazzo Bellomo Gallery and the Church of Church of San Benedetto.
The property extends over four floors, offering a total surface area of 313 sqm, including 91 sqm of outdoor spaces.
The entrance of the palazzo mirrors the 14th-century portal of the Church of San Martino.
On the ground floor there are two rooms of approximately 45 sqm each, currently used as studios, flanking the spacious entrance hall that leads to the 18th-century staircase. Both rooms have direct street access, and one overlooks a private 20 sqm courtyard.
Through the elegant entrance hall and beautifully restored staircase, one reaches the first floor, dedicated to hospitality and family living. A large living area (54 sqm), arranged as three interconnected rooms, opens onto the long balcony that defines the façade of the building. The interiors are enhanced by two large custom-made wall bookcases and a central fireplace. Connected to this space are a fully equipped kitchen with a small terrace (10 sqm), a bathroom, and a laundry room, for a total surface of 93 sqm.
A stunning curved staircase leads to the second floor, dedicated to the private quarters of the residence. This level includes three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a storage room, and a walk-in wardrobe. In addition, a large living room/study/library opens seamlessly onto a spacious terrace on the same level. The total surface area of the second floor is 123 sqm.
From the terrace on the second floor, there is access to a further panoramic terrace of 35 sqm, offering views over the surrounding rooftops and the open sea. A 9 sqm service room is also located on the terrace.
