Mario's flat is in a great position for seeing the many outstanding sights of Siracusa. It is a stone's throw from Ortigyia and very near a bus stop. Though slightly infrequent, we found the buses a reliable (and cheap) option for getting around. Several of Mario's tips for eating were really helpful - especially Bar Midolo! We loved that place - the coffee is great and the croissants etc to die for!
If you want to eat in, it is also a great place to get a takeaway, and incredibly reasonable. We took a trip with Mario to see the amazing mosaics at Villa Romana de Casale - a great (and fun!) option if you don't want the long drive. Thanks for eveything Mario - we had a great time.
