Francesco’s place has three elegant balconies looking over the auto-free zone of via Roma. You can see the warm, swimmable Adriatic two blocks away. A lovely “extra” room to use as an office & for visitors to have their own space to sleep. The tiny kitchen has a DW & washing machine but you won’t be cooking much when you can be served perfect, inexpensive handmade pasta in every cafe’ in Ortigia. Francesco’s apartment (and he rents several more in this building) was an ideal home for our month long sabbatical in Sicily.
