The apartment is located in Giudecca district, in the island of Ortigia. The area takes its name from the street that branches off from Via Maestranza and that delimits, with Via Alagona, towards the sea, the district that once housed the large Jewish community of Syracuse. Not much is left of the original buildings. In the basement of "Alla Giudecca" hotel, however, it is possible to explore, with guided tours, an ancient miqweh, a system of tanks fed by running water, once connected to the now-disappeared synagogue, where ritual baths were performed. In Via della Giudecca, it is possibile to find the Teatro dei Pupi, where performances of Sicilian folk tales are held; and a little further on, in Piazza S. Giuseppe, the Aretuseo dei Pupi Museum is dedicated to this street theater tradition. In Via Alagona, in the eighteenth century Palazzo Corpaci, once the seat of the Confraternity of the Holy Spirit, there is the Cinema Museum. Today Giudecca district, especially in the evening, is very lively with locals.

In the area you will find many other services such as bank, post office, mini markets, restaurants, bars, shops and much more.
