We were very happy here. Carmela is extremely friendly and warm, it feels like a family place. We had a little holiday house, there are 4 of them (we had one with 1 bedroom). Small kitchen, nice bathroom, small dining room, airco - all spotless and clean. You can eat outside and the nice pool is fantastic, you can stay there all day. Avola beach is 10' by foot. Avola town is nice but we preferred Noto (20' by car), a very nice old town. Carmela heated up our pizza in her kitchen and the next day she even installed a new, small oven... Carmela makes you feel really warm and welcome, she really cares about your well being. Very nice place.
