La Casa Del Pottore is probably the best place to stay in Ortigia. Only 3 minutes will take you to see the see at the end of the street, and the main square of Ortigia with Duomo is only 5 minutes away from the Casa. The house is very cozy and all the stuff for a good living as a local is at the house. You can easily cook fish, meat and other meals you bought in the old market. By the way, the market is only in 3 minutes away. Open the window to the street while cooking and people passing by will smell aromas from the kitchen and will envy your Sicilian way of living in Ortigia)) Vincenzo is a very pleasant and helpful host. He will meet you by himself and explain all the things you should know for a pleasant stay in the house. I highly recommend La Casa Del Pittore to stay if you dream about living a little bit like a "Siciliano vero" (a real Sicilian).
