We loved our stay at Pietro’s place in Ortigia. The apartment home is newly remodeled, very clean, quiet, peaceful, lovely. We enjoyed
the neighborhood, so easy to walk to everything, children playing, cats lounging in the sun, great restaurants, and near the beautiful sites of Ortigia. Pietro is a lovely and generous host, providing mineral water and fruit and rides to the bus station; so kind. The garden is peaceful, private, jasmine scented, and lovingly cared for, as is every aspect of the home/apartment. We recommend the l’ancora restaurant, especially if you love seafood, and the daily open air market is boisterous and delicious. We rented bicycles from Negio bike shop and rode 20 km’s out of town on a dedicated bike path, gorgeous, a fun adventure, and a way to see the history of the land and sea. We love Ortigia and highly recommend Pietro’s lodging.
