Fabio's place is centrally located and just a short stroll from a public swimming dock if you want to cool off with a dip in the sea. The apartment is well furnished and very modern in its aesthetic. We chose to prepare most of our meals there rather than dining out and found the kitchen well equipped. The premises are very clean and well kept.
Our guide book told us that we could take a free shuttle from the train station in Siricusa into Ortigia but this turned out to be misinformation. A taxi will take you most of the way to Via Mario Minniti 46 but no car can navigate the narrow passageway that will deliver you to the door, so be prepared to walk some distance and be ready for steps to take you to the second floor.
