We had a lovely time in Salvo & Elisabetta’s house! Stayed there for 8 days in late October with our at that time 6 months old daughter. The house has everything you need (also for a baby), and everything is new and works perfectly. The garden is large and beautiful with exotic fruit trees and flowers.
Avola is a good place to stay if you want to visit the nearby cities like Ragusa, Modica, Noto, Marzamemi and Siracusa. Avola in itself is not the most interesting of cities in Sicily (at least in October), but there are a few nice restaurants and fish shops in walking distance from the house (but you definitely need a car to be able to go grocery shopping etc).
Lastly, and maybe most importantly, Salvo & Elisabetta are amazing hosts! Our flight was delayed (three hours - and we were travelling with an infant!!), so we arrived very late (at 1 AM), and still they both turned up to give us a warm welcome. They took us out to breakfast the next day and showed us around town, and they were so kind to our baby girl, who absolutely adored them. The nicest hosts we have met so far!
All in all, we can definitely recommend staying in their house :)
