We stayed one week in march at Alessios appartement in Avola. The check-in/check-out was lovely and uncomplicated. Even though we dont speak Italian we got along just fine. The appartement itself is beautifully restaurated, it is chic and minimalistic, with a lot of respect for the old building. You find everything you need there. During our stay it was still chilly outside, but with the stove we got warm inside.
We would recommend this place to our friends :)
