This place is comfortable and homely I think you will feel like a traditional Sicilian family in this place.The courtyard is private and convenient to use. The neighbourhood is quiet and also a little bit of a walk from the historic Centre is conveniently located for the bus to and from the airport. A local bus provides frequent transport around town including to Ortigia. It comes every 15 minutes and replaces the 3 bus routes that were available last year. We recommend Leonardi’s cafe for lunch which is nearby as is the archaeological museum and the archaeological Park. If you like staying away from the tourist hordes this place will suit you very well. Communication with the host was excellent and his father came around to do what ever small things were necessary.
