This small villa is a real find. It is located just two minutes walk from the sea and 10-15 mins walk from some beautiful sandy beaches. You can walk along the sea to some wonderful restaurants and there are many more in the town of Avola and further afield.
The villa itself is beautiful. The one bedroom, living room and kitchen are beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped and they provide some essentials like tea, coffee, oil, water and juice which is very helpful when you just arrive. There is a big garden with beautiful eating area and lemon and fig trees on the borders. It is really peaceful and we really enjoyed having long breakfasts in the garden and later in the day chilling out on the sun roof with its beautiful view over the sea.
The icing on the cake, however, are the owners of the property Salvo and Elisabetta. From the moment we booked we got a welcome message from Salvo and were able to communicate freely to ask questions and arrange our arrival. This was particularly reassuring for us as it was the first time that we had used airbnb. Salvo and Elisabetta seemed to take real pride in their property and into ensuring we had a good stay. They took us out for Sicilian breakfast on our first morning, told us where the good restaurants were and advised us on how to fill out days. This was particularly useful for us as we had come to Sicily rather unprepared, with little information as to what to see and do. They also had some excellent written information in the villa and were happy to respond to any questions during our stay.
Salvo and Elisabetta's hospitality plus the wonderful scenery, interesting places to visit and fabulous food certainly made our stay special and we definitely intend to return.
