I would highly recommend staying at Pierpaolo’s place if you are visiting Ortigia. The apartment is in the heart of old town but located on a quieter side street so no issues with noise at night. Right at the corner is a great little cafe that serves amazing coffee and freshly baked Italian pastries!
The apartment is small but we comfortably slept three people. It is well laid out and beautifully renovated while at the same time keeping the traditional historical character. It is tastefully decorated and Pierpaolo has added nice little touches to make our stay very comfortable. There is ac which was very welcoming and it is super quiet! The beds were very comfy and the apartment super clean. Pierpaolo helped checked us in and took the time to go over must sees in the city and provided suggestions for restaurants. He made himself available and was very quick in responding to us. Pierpaolo is a wonderful host! We would definitely stay here again if in Ortigia!
