Perfect place for your holiday :) The hosts are a great support, they helped us with all our enquiries, gave us tips on where to go... The beach just by the accomodation is rather steep, there was another beach cca 300m distance, flat, suitable for kids and you could find some small shells. Avola is quite small, not many touristic places, it's good to have a car, at the same time it's cheaper than bigger cities. Definitely visit the Novecento caffe (by the beach, first roundabout in direction Siracusy) with great selection of cakes and other stuff,delicious and favourable prices.
