Salvatore and his daughter, Sara, were very kind and welcoming and were always happy to help when we had questions or a problem. The house is very spacious and has all that you need. The beds are extremely firm with additional blankets provided if you're cold (which it was in January). Being the low season, the heater did not keep up with the large room size, but in the warmer months I would guess the cool air would be quite pleasant. The enclosed front patio was lovely to soak up the winter sun. There are two upper terraces that we did not use as it was too windy, but would be ideal in summer. The second bedroom is upstairs via a narrow, spiral stairway that could be treacherous for some. The proximity to the marina area with the best bars and restaurants worked well for us. Thank you Salvatore and Sara. We enjoyed Casa Le Pigne and the town of Avola!
