We stayed a whole month in Avola to experience the 'real' Sicily. Giovanni's place was perfect and we had everything we could need for cooking, relaxing and exploring. We felt like he and his wife treated us like family, and took us around to local sights, thoroughly explained the area on arrival and left us a bottle of wine to enjoy. Avola is a place you go if you want a great cultural experience. We also made use of the bikes provided and there was lots of maps and information about the area! We highly recommend 'Happy House' and hope to return! Grazie!!
