Extremely functional and well equipped apartment with very welcoming host. Mario provided a great homemade guidebook with advice about local attractions, accompanied by his beautiful photos. The complimentary bottle of locally grown red wine was superb. Syracuse is a charming, civilised place to chill out (visited for 6 nights) with great cafes, bookshops and an eye-popping market. It was very relaxing to head back to this bright, light apartment and cook up a storm, using local produce.
We were two groups of friends, so we stayed in both Lilia 1 and Lilia 2, each similarly decorated in bright red colours but with their own charming knock knacks. Lilia 1 is bigger than Lilia 2 in which I stayed, but Lilia 2 still has plenty of room to spread out. Mario has thought of everything - good reading lights and eclectic bedside stands for books, excellent range of cooking utensils, very comfortable bed with extra pillows, a cosy rug to snuggle in, and the best towels I have had all trip. Really enjoyed and would highly recommend.
