We had a fabulous holiday at Paolo's villa. The pool is very luxurious and well equipped, and we could have spent the entire holiday there. However, we did tear ourselves away to visit the beautiful hill towns of Monica and Noto, and the unmissable city of Siracuse and especially Ortigia. There is an excellent local restaurant which we visited several times, though to buy food requires a trip into Avola. Paolo was an extremely attentive host who always responded rapidly to any requests from us.
