Casa Sabir is a refined early 1900’s apartment that opens out on to the historic market of the fascinating island of Ortigia, the ancient heart of Siracusa, Southern Sicily, where Greek settlers from Corinth arrived in 734 BC.

Made famous by the genius of Archimedes, the city still bears the architectural and cultural stratifications of the peoples who inhabited it and is a maze of streets where the yellow sandstone eaten by time and salt suddenly stops in intense glimpses of blue.
