Firstly, and most importantly, Giuseppe is a fantastic host! He takes great pleasure in welcoming guests, making them feel at home - and in understanding and engaging with the local area, in terms of food, culture, history and nature. A better host is hard to imagine.
The apartment is very comfortable, and spacious. The bedroom is large and has good storage and lighting. The living room has a nice sofa, TV and DVD player, desk and other storage space, so you can easily settle in. The kitchen is simple but functional and adequately equipped (large fridge/freezer, oven with hob, sink, coffee machine, toaster oven, and lots of pots and crockery) with a good sized dining table. There's a small room off the kitchen, which we didn't use but I guess provides extra sleeping space or a quiet retreat. The bathroom has a shower cubicle, toilet, bidet and sink - and there's plentiful hot water.
Outside there's parking (beware - large cars may find it hard to get in and out due to the historic setting) with a garden area which would be lovely in summer. The place is a few minutes from Avola train station, and you can walk into the town centre in under 10 minutes. Avola itself is not the most interesting town in the area, but you're barely 10 minutes from Noto, which is one of the most engaging baroque cities.
You're sure to enjoy your stay - and the more you talk to Giuseppe, the more you'll come to appreciate Sicily - although he's also happy to leave you to your own devices, if you prefer.
