We stayed at Nice House for two weeks and enjoyed every minute there. Giovanni and his wife met us at the bus stop nearby and showed us the nearest restaurants and everything we needed in the neighbourhood as soon as we had left our luggage in the appartment. The area is residential, life is going in in the street as neighbours are sitting outside their homes in the hot summer nights, children are playing, and small Ape-cars selling ice cream, clothes, fish and other necessities are passing by. We used one of the two balconies for breakfast and late (while it was not too hot). The high ceiling made the apartment feel even bigger than it was, and we liked the typical Sicilian interior. There are two beaches nearby, one with beds/umbrellas and a place with a limited menu and another (Pantanella) without umbrellas, but with several places to eat. We recommend Nice House for long and short stays, the hosts are excellent, we will definitely stay here on our next trip to Avola. And: All our questions/requests were answered in a couple of minutes!
