I Santi Coronati B & B in Ortigia

September 25, 2022

Ortigia, the ancient part of Syracuse, Sicily, is joined to the modern city by three bridges.

Ortigia, la parte antica della città’ di Siracusa, in Sicilia, e’ connessa alla città’ moderna da tre ponti.

Strolling through Ortigia is mesmerizing and the array of colors burst from each corner to brighten the baroque architectural style.

Una passeggiata in Ortigia e’ incantevole e le sfumature dei colori si sprigionano da ogni angolo per illuminare lo stile architettonico barocco.

When staying in Ortigia, due to limited parking space, one usually has to park at one of the public parking garages and then walk with luggage to one’s lodging. As the ancient city has limited car access and parking, so finding a bed and breakfast that offered its own parking space when I recently returned to Ortigia was delightful. The B and B , I Santi Coronati, offers its own courtyard parking space which makes staying there very convenient. The areas where traffic is limited to those holding a pass are marked ZTL, Zona Traffico Limitato.

Quando si pernotta in Ortigia, dato che i posteggi auto sono limitati, solitamente bisogna posteggiare in uno dei garage publici e poi camminare coi bagagli verso il luogo dove si alloggia. Dato che La città’ antica ha posteggi ed accesso auto limitati, durante la mia recente visita l’aver trovato un B e B che avesse il proprio spazio per posteggiare e’ stato molto piacevole. Le zone a traffico limitato sono indicate con la sigla ZTL, zona traffico limitato.

Besides the main attractions, just strolling through Ortigia and taking in its sights and sounds is food for the soul.
