Pietro’s place is one in a million and so to is Pietro. The internals of the apartment are modern and everything you need for two people. But Pietro’s place has so much more, private courtyard and gardens to relax in with patio setting under the original arches. It is such a short distance from everything in Ortigia, just a little walk away.
We ate out the first night but Pietro encouraged us to buy from the market and cook and eat at home or in the garden, which we did. Red tuna one night, fresh vegetable pasta another and finally a prawn and tomato pasta. Such beautiful fresh ingredients. Oh and the sandwich man at the market don’t forget to visit him.
We loved Pietro’s hospitality, he was a fantastic host and obviously enjoys not only his house but meeting his guests and chatting with them. He has a love of his city and made the stay in Ortigia even more special.

We would love to visit Ortigia again 5 nights didn’t seem enough and would definitely like to return to stay with Pietro.
