House is surrounded by a beautiful garden of citrus and olive trees. One can do grills outside too and just relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings since the house is away from the hustle and bustle of the cities. Having said that, the location is also ideal as it is 5 mins from Avola ( famous for it’s almonds and wine; this town was a pleasant surprise), 10 mins from Noto, and around 20 mins from Syracuse / ortigia. Also, whilst there I highly recommend you to visit cavagrande and it’s laghetti of Avola (impressive) ( 10 mins drive) and the reserva naturale di vendicari, especially spiaggia calamosche (15 mins drive). The latter is rated by the guardian newspaper as one of the top 5 best beaches in Italy. So I was really lucky to have found this house and it helped me to move around and yet everything was at a close distance. Ultimately I would like to thank Mario, Sandra, Serena and Massimo for their hospitality and information shared. Grazie di tutto, di sicuro ritornerò.
