I stayed here for a week and it was great, perfect location! The street market is downstairs so you may hear some of the traders shouting in the mornings, but in general it’s surprisingly quiet in the apartment considering its location. The apartment is compact but functional and a perfect base for one or two people to explore the beautiful local area and beyond.
Ortigia is beautiful and full of great places to eat and drink, or just to wander around and enjoy the history. Seppe’s place is 15-20 minute walk from the train station which was really useful for getting the train to other towns and to the airport. I recommend hopping on the train to Fontane Bianche where there is a lovely beach.
Seppe was on hand at all times to answer any questions I had - nothing was too much trouble. He is very kind and helpful and promptly answered my queries. I thought it was great value for money and I would definitely stay again if I find myself back in SE Sicily!!
