The apartment of Mattia is really big and well equipped. It's in an apartment building close to/in the city centre of Avola. We felt safe, because there is a fence around the building and the parking. There are several shops not far from the building (ca 1km). The closest sea (but not the nicest) is about 1.5km from the house. The apartment is an ideal starting point to go by car to Noto, Syracus or the Grand Canyon of Avola. The check in was very friendly - Mattia's mum does only speak italian, but she is so sympathetic and smart with google translator. Mattia was always available via whatsapp, if we had any other question. We had a good time in Avola. Thanks a lot!
