We really enjoyed our stay in Avola at Giovannis place. It is a very nice place with a private veranda very close to the sandy beach. With the bikes Giovanni offers to use it is possible to reach the city centre, restaurants and supermarkets pretty well.
Giovanni was really nice, he gave us very useful information about the area and how to organize our trips, where to find the bus station and so on. He even picked us up at the bus station to welcome us and showed us around a bit. Thanks, we really liked it!
