VILLA TERRA DI LUCE – SYRACUSE AREA
Just 10 km south of Syracuse lies the stunning coastal area of Terrauzza, a captivating stretch of rocky shoreline known for its crystal-clear waters, peaceful cliff walks, and scenic coastal paths. While the villa is just a short 700-meter stroll from the rocky seafront, guests also have easy access to sandy beaches like Lido Arenella (5.5 km), one of the best-equipped beach clubs on Sicily’s east coast, and Fontane Bianche (9 km), both ideal for swimming and sunbathing. From Terrauzza, a bus to Syracuse runs every 90 minutes, and local amenities including a grocery store and bus stop are just 200 meters from the villa. Syracuse’s shops, Lidl supermarket, and a modern shopping mall are just a short drive away.
This elegant and spacious villa spans 220 sqm over two floors.
