When we first made a reservation for a night at Mario's, his response was "but you must stay another night.." - I wish we had listened to his advice! A spectacular apartment, modern and well-equipped, warm and roomy. Best part of the deal - the hosts themselves - Mario and his brother went out of their way communicating with us throughout a long evening (on christmas nonetheless) guiding us to their place while our GPS failed. To top it all, they had an amazing, vegetarian dinner, bread, pandora, dessert and a bottle of wine waiting for us when we finally arrived close to midnight. Extremely thoughtful, very helpful (they finally had to drive out to meet us some place and direct us home) and friendly, if we ever go to Siracusa again, this is where we'll stay. Highly recommend.
