Mediterranean style Villa Gialla sits enthroned on Isola di Siracusa – the small peninsula south of Syracuse - and only 700 m from the sea. The holiday home which rises upon a 20,000 m² property with lush vegetation and spacious garden and pool offers a simply unique view.
Due to its location on a hill, guests meet with a view across the evergreen landscape of the peninsula, which is partly a nature reserve, of both sides of the sea hugging the peninsula's shores and of the town of Syracuse, the town rich in history on the opposite side. Unwind far from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and enjoy a holiday mix of relaxation, culture and bathing!
