Staying in Mario's place was one of my best experiences in Sicily. Mario was super friendly and knows everybody in local area. He made reservations for us in all the best restaurants in Syracuse and recommended nearby places as well. The apartment had nice balcony with a fantastic view from both side of ocean. Lot's of light, tidy rooms and nice espresso all made our stay so pleasant. I highly recommend Mario's place to anyone for he's the best guide to the city.
