Property info

This is an historical building, since for almost a century (until aroud 1950) it has been hosting the Conigliaro family's pasta factory, quite famous in town. The laboratory was in the basement togheter with storage rooms and stables for horses and coaches, while at first floor lived the family of entrepreneurs with their personal staff. My family used to live there for almost 30 years, so this is the place where I grew up. I do love it because it is filled with memories so meaningful to me. The B & B, recently renovated to better meet customers' needs, has a beautiful sea-view from all its rooms, laying in front of the old part of the town, the island of Ortigia. It is close to the beaches and main attractions of Siracusa.
