Gianluca's place is a lovely apartment right in the middle of Oritgia. We stayed for a week and it was a great base for seeing the rest of Eastern Sicily. The apartment is big and airy and the roof terrace is perfect for eating or having an aperitivo in the sunshine. It's a 5 minute walk to the duomo and 5 minutes the other way to the sea. There are plenty of bars and restaurants a short walk away (we liked Locanda Mastrarua for food, Evoé, BOATS and Cortile Verga for drinks). All in all, it was a great place to explore Sicily!
