HOW TO GET HERE

The villa is located 11 km from Syracuse, in a residential area, on the Maddalena Peninsula.

To be more independent, it is best to rent a car at Catania airport, which is about an hour away (exit Siracusa Sud or Cassibile). Free parking is available at the property.

There is a bus to the city center: it is the 123, (the stop is a 10 minute walk from the house), but it is not very frequent.

The property is bike friendly and it is also possible to rent mountain bikes and e-bikes.

The villa's porch, with a table and deck chairs, overlooks the garden with its stone path

KIND OF BLUE is located at via dei diamanti 57, Siracusa, Italy

Blue Plemmirio experience is a project for the promotion of eco-sustainable tourism designed by the Plemmirio Marine Protected Area and joined by accommodation facilities, operators and businesses in the area of Siracusa.

The goal is to spread the idea and practice of environmental sustainability. Those who join commit to eco-friendly behaviors. The Blue Plemmirio experience label represents adherence to parameters: separate waste collection, energy savings, monitoring and decreasing water consumption, use of bulk and biodegradable organic detergents and local products. And the promotion of sustainable mobility.

Blu Plemmirio experience is at Siracusa, in southeastern Sicily, in the heart of the Mediterranean. Plemmirio is a peninsula that encircles the natural harbor of the city founded by the Greeks. "Plemmirio ondoso," Virgil calls it in the Aeneid.
