Idea base for exploring Syracuse. The apartment is an easy walk to Ortigia island in one direction - where you will want to spend most of your time in the city - and the bus/train terminal in the other direction - from where you can travel to local towns/villages. The apartment itself is clean and has modern furnishings, but the stand out feature is the roof terrace from where you can unwind after the long hot days over a glass of Sicilian wine. Mario is also a very helpful host. This place is highly recommended.
