The Garden of Lucia

the garden of Lucia is a structure within a context dating back to the sixteenth century, a period when the church of S. Pietro al Carmine was built.
It is located in Ortigia ancient island of Syracuse, mother land where many ethnic groups have left a decisive mark, Greeks, Normans, Hispanics, Romans. A timeless wonder has come out of it, already recognized by UNESCO.
It is accessed from Piazza del Carmine and you enter Via S. Pietro.
The entrance is characterized by a vaulted roof, an old fountain and a mix of greenery.
You proceed through a further door where there is a pateo, the garden characterized by an ancient jasmine, now centenary, plants and flowers that are the background.
The house has been totally renovated respecting its origins, has new interior and exterior furnishings, Wi-Fi satellite TV, a fully air-conditioned environment. In the large entrance there are outdoor furnishings that lend themselves to an environment in total relaxation.
The house is located in the center of Ortigia. The Temple of Apollo, the Duomo, the Arethusa fountain and every other historical and artistic site are just a short distance away.
Nearby there are restaurants, meeting places, shops, the Old Market, supermarcati, car rental agencies and many other services.
I do not describe you Ortigia I invite you to breathe it, to live it.
Many thanks

Great location, nice owners, but not perfect for everyone
First the good: the location is wonderful and the Pietro and his wife are very kind. The room is clean and well equipped. We got the impression that the owner may have been burned by previous renters as he was very insistent on points that most VRBO hosts would just leave in a note on the table in the room. These included turning the heat off when we left and taking care to do the same with the lights. All valid concerns but the intensity of this insistence was off putting. The floors are very, very cold – and neither of us ever have cold feet. We wore our shoes anytime we had to walk inside.My guess is that this is why previous guests ran the heat continuously. Lastly, and this is a small aesthetic thing: there are only bright white overhead lights in the rooms – a little bit hospital-like. For us they made being in the space uncomfortable. A few table lamps would have made the place cozier. All in all, we have no regrets about staying with Pietro, though would likely not for our future visits to Siracusa.

The Garden of Lucia
We really enjoyed everything at The Garden of Lucia, especially the hospitality of Pietro, our host, and his family, Loredana and Giordano. The apartment and the private courtyard garden are beautiful. We enjoyed sitting outside in the evening after returning from dinner with the faint scent of jasmine in the air. The location in the Centro Storico is very peaceful yet you are steps from from cafés, restaurants and activities. Pietro, grazie mille. Paul and Mary
