Casa Sabir is a beautifully restored early 20th-century apartment located on Via Emanuele Giaracà, directly above Ortigia’s historic fish and vegetable market. Its balconies offer a front-row seat to the vibrant daily market life and stunning glimpses of the Ionian Sea.
The 90 m² apartment can host up to four guests in two large bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. Original vaulted ceilings, handmade ceramic floors, designer lamps, and bespoke stone sinks blend harmoniously with modern comforts like air conditioning, acoustic windows, Wi‑Fi, TV and a fully equipped kitchen.
The open-plan kitchen, complete with a stainless-steel island, invites guests to shop at the market and cook Mediterranean meals. The living area features a designer décor and a wine cellar showcasing fine Sicilian labels.
Situated just steps from cafes, restaurants and archaeological sites, Casa Sabir offers unmatched immersion in local culture. Guests enjoy a 10/10 location rating, with the market and Temple of Apollo within easy walking distance.
Guests can partake in cooking classes led by a local chef—who shops at the market with them—plus guided tours in Val di Noto, boat trips, Etna excursions, and more. The hosts, including designer-owner Luca Giannini, provide warm hospitality and insider tips.
The apartment's renovation preserved original features like decorative plaster and ceramics, enhanced with artisan furniture, eco-friendly lighting, and natural finishes—earning accolades from architecture portals.
Casa Sabir is ideal for design lovers, couples, or families seeking an authentic Sicilian experience—immerse yourself in market colors, historic ambiance, and the scents of the Mediterranean.
