laura is a great host, I had a million questions before arrival and she answered them all, quickly and patiently. My husband and I had a rough first night as our pillows were too thick and high for us. I asked Laura if she had any spare ones, and in no time she brought them!
The 2 bedrooms both have airco, good shades that also keeps out most of the traffic noise, the kitchen/living room has a fan. The bathroom is huge and beautiful. Enough storage space for our family of five. There is no seperate living room but we did not miss it as the roof terrace is enormous! Of course you have to bring the plates and glasses up the stairs to the roof if decide to eat there. An umbrella provides shade. The kitchen was too small for us to sit at the table all together so we were thankful for the lovely terrace with brand new furniture, a large dining table , enough comfortable chairs and even deck chairs for sunbathing.
The appartement is in a rather busy street as Laura told me. But no trucks may enter the centre. The centre is 5 minites by foot, the beach 15 minutes. There is ample space to park your car for free in the street where the appartement is situated and at the sea side.
Hardly any tourists in Avola, as there are, to my opinion, no beautiful historic buildings or churches or fancy shops. But if you want to live the real Italian live, with the people of Avola meeting each other in the enormous main square at night, eating, drinking, strolling, playing socker or attending one of the many fesitvals,Avola is the place to be! A goog strating point to visit beautiful Noto and Masarmeni which are crowded with tourists. And many other interesting places which Laura will inform you about. When we left, Laura gave us a farewell present, a bottle of red wine and delicious cookies! Thank you Laura for everything!
