We met Angelo near the accommodation and he led us to the lovely accommodation. There we met his wife Maria who had prepared a delicious meal consisting of a pasta salad and a melanzane dish, which was as good as you are going to find anywhere in Sicily.

The apartment was spacious, very clean and nicely decorated. The balcony provides a beautiful view of the town, with the ocean and the sundown as a backdrop. The location is peaceful and was exactly what we were looking for.

All the local beaches were beautiful, with only a few locals attending. The town of Cava d'Aliga is really small (2 supermarkets, 1 bar, 1 pharmacy etc) so for some liveliness you need to head to nearby places such as Scicli, Ragusa, Noto or Modica. Angelo provided us with 2 sheets of reccommended restaurants and shops, and everyone we visited turned out to be great.

It might be useful to know that you do need a car for everything, from shopping and sightseeing, to visiting the various beaches. Then again, you probably need one to actually get to Cava d'Aliga.

All in all, the accommodation was perfect, Angelo and Maria were great hosts, and we would recommend anyone to stay in Cava d'Aliga if you want to enjoy the perfect combination of sun & beaches, cultural landmarks and some lovely Sicilian food!
