We loved staying in Mario's apartment! It is situated on the 4th floor of beautiful apartment building - you must be okay with stairs! The apartment is authentic Italian and extremely spacious and clean. Mario was a wonderful host, who met us right away and helped us find a parking spot as parking is not the easiest in Siracusa. The apartment is located right beside the main bridge that takes you to Ortigia, which is a beautiful little town where we spent most of our time. Mario suggested places for us to eat and sites to visit. Overall we loved our experience in Siracusa and would stay in Mario's home again!
