About our stay in Avola
The address we received by Airbnb was an address in the centre of the town of Avola. Luckily we met Gaetano on the road who guided us to his house surrounded with his biological ‘fruttati.
A place to come home after hours of flying and wearing mouth caps. He showed us around the house and we knew that we had a golden ticket: nice rooms, cosy atmosphere, airco, a swimming pool (where the kids immediately took a late night dive while we drank a glass of wine that Gaetano had reserved for us together with some homemade jams; honey and a Cesar salmad standing in his fridge.
The next day we woke up with a terrible noise @ 7 in the morning. In Sicily the county gives you a daily water supply but the pomp was near one of the bedrooms and it felt like horror came upon us but Gaetano who always was nearby, assured us that he would handle it (he would water his orchard manually). We felt embarrassed but he told us it was his duty to make us feel @ home while picking some home made grapes. The next days Gaetano always was there to help us if needed but at the same time let us feel al alone in his wonderful orchard of peace and happiness… we ate not only grapes, but also cactusfruit, basil, month, limes … while we fell kings of Avola.
Rooms: wonderful rooms, good beds, airco, 2 bathrooms, good showers, small but equipped kitchen, nice outside, private,…
Some remarks: camera surveillance (probably needed for this kind of compound), lots off mosquito’s (but they were all over Sicily so may be harsh to mention)
At the end we received a box of sweets for our goodbye.
We knew this kind of location/price would not be easy to beat….
Always ready to go back!
