Apartment Casa Sabir in Sizilien, Syrakus, Ortigia / IT – Italy

Apartment Casa Sabir

Outside: a lively hustle and bustle. Inside: peace and quiet and the grandeur of bygone eras. Casa Sabir is located on the market square of the small island of Ortigia – the his­toric centre of the Sicilian city of Syracuse. The 85 m² apartment on the first floor of the house, built at the beginning of the 20th century, boasts a great deal of his­to­rical flair. High vaulted cei­lings, old cement tiles and walls, which display the traces of the ori­ginal plas­tering in dif­ferent colours, cha­rac­terise its ambience. Con­tem­porary ele­ments such as micro-cement coated floors and walls, modern lamps and fur­niture, and the kitchen island with a stainless steel worktop locate the apartment in the present. Pain­tings and pho­to­graphs by the owner, the artist Luca Giannini, can be found throughout the apartment.

The centre of the apartment you will find the kitchen with a dining area, flanked on both sides by a bedroom. These three rooms open out with bal­conies facing the street and are flooded with light through the large windows. From the bed in the master bedroom you can enjoy views of the sea. At the rear of the apartment there is a living area with access to a wine storage room and two bath­rooms.

Schöne Wohnung inmitten der Makt­strasse (gut für Eh-Früh­au­steher). Leider gab es nach Abreise Stress wegen zweier angeblich ver­färbter Hand­tücher …

Andreas Schramm sagt:

Mit sehr viel Liebe zum Detail wurde dieses wun­der­schöne Feri­en­do­mizil ein­ge­richtet. Mit­tendrin im Geschehen von Ortigia (der Markt vor der Tür) und doch ein behag­licher Rück­zugsort. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder!

Ein beein­dru­ckendes Gesamt­kunstwerk: Alter Bestand, und neue Ele­mente, tolle Detail­lö­sungen und schöne Kunst. Sehr schön !

Den Sommer noch einmal ver­längern… wir hatten eine groß­artige Woche in dieser traum­haften Wohnung!!
Die Emp­feh­lungen und der herz­liche Empfang von Pier­paolo machten gleich Lust durch Ortigia zu streunen, nach einem gemüt­lichen Abend­essen (sowohl in den herr­lichen Restau­rants der Nach­bar­schaft, als auch in der eigenen Küche) saßen wir gerne am offenen Fenster und genossen die abend­liche Ruhe.
Während die Sizi­lianer sich bereits in Daune und Hoody win­terlich ein­packen konnten wir eher nor­di­schen Typen leere Strände und kris­tall­klares Wasser in vollen Zügen genießen. Ob dank der späten Jah­reszeit — Mitte Oktober — oder auf­grund von mas­siven Rei­se­be­schrän­kungen 2020: Schlange stehen mussten wir nie, weder an den Gondeln zum Etna, noch bei den Tempeln in Agrigent.
Wir können diese Wohnung wirklich von ganzem Herzen emp­fehlen!! Erwäh­nenswert sei auch, dass der täglich recht früh anstei­gende Geräusch­pegel der Markt­men­schen (ab ca. 04:00!!) pro­blemlos durch ein schnelles Schließen der Fenster kom­plett aus­ge­sperrt werden kann… :)

Kehren gerade von einer herr­lichen, son­nigen Febru­ar­woche zurück in der wun­der­vollen, geschmack­vollen, perfekt aus­ge­stat­teten Wohnung für bis zu vier Per­sonen direkt über dem Markt.
Das Ein­kaufen und Kochen macht dort einen solchen Spaß, dass wir es nicht geschafft haben , auch nur einmal einmal essen zu gehen.…obschon es so viele gute Mög­lich­keiten in den nahen Umgebung gibt.

Der per­fekte Platz, um im Winter Sonne, Ruhe und Licht zu tanken im wun­der­schönen Ortigia. Da fahren wir bestimmt wieder hin.

So unfassbar schön. Da will ich hin.…
