Another excellent review for this place! We have been travelling around Sicily for six weeks and Giuseppe’s Place feels like home.
First: Giuseppe is a perfect host. He’s responsive and very friendly and caring. He even took Stephen out for an 85km cycle ride with mates! And there’s a lovely citrus and vegetable garden at the property. We were allowed to eat the fresh produce! How generous!
The Home: I call it a home because that’s what it feels like, and not just a holiday accommodation. We cooked meals, relaxed in the lounge, sat out in the garden, and slept like babies.
Avola: the town of Avola is a true community. You can really feel it! It’s best to have a car to get to all the wonderful towns nearby. We had bicycles because my partner is a keen cyclist. Avola is a great hub for getting out and the roads are good. The train to Syracuse isn’t as frequent as possible, but we chose to go twice by train rather than driving. You can’t get tickets at the Avola station so get them at the Tabbacconist. There are gorgeous beaches and a lungomare 2 km down the road. The piazzas in town have loads of coffee shops and places to get a meal.
FINALLY- I left Avola wanting to LIVE there! And I feel like Guiseppe is now a friend.
