Wonderful value! Natalia was so easy to book with and answered our very minor concerns immediately- broken back door lock was repaired the same day! Mrs. Maria is local caretaker and was immediately available for any questions…she was a true delight and one of the highlights of our stay. The house had everything we needed including large fridge, dishwasher, soaps, washing machine and drying rack, beach towels, umbrellas, etc. Wonderful location directly across from sea and beach with wonderful views from main bedroom and terrace. We were only ones on property as the two other units attached were in the middle of renovations, but workers were courteous and were not loud nor blocked parking. The roof deck was a great addition but be advised that it no longer matches the photos…walls have been erected, breaking it into three separate spaces- one for each unit. It is still plenty large however and accommodated our group of 7 easily with room to spare. Nice loungers and table with chairs and umbrella present. The a/c worked well in all bedrooms except struggled to keep up in the main bedroom which is massive. We were able to open the doors to the terrace however on two sides in the evening and the cross breeze cooled it down. The parking lot next door does have considerable traffic until very late in the evening (1:00am or later) due to the presence of food trucks with seating, but it was not overly loud and didn’t really bother us as we had no children in our party. Easy 5 minute walk to local pizza, gelato, restaurants, coffee, etc. Only real downside was beds were not overly comfortable, but that seems to be common vs. “American” mattresses. Avola was very handy to Syracuse/Ortigia, Noto, Catania, beaches, hiking, etc. and slightly off the tourist path- more popular for Sicilian and Italian vacationers which we enjoyed. Highly recommend doing the evening “passage” in Noto which is less than 15 minutes away. Thanks Natalia for the great stay - we would happily return!
