Avola is a nice and small village, perfectly situated to discover the region of Siracusa.
Casa le Pigne is a wounderful place to stay. The beach is just across the street (2-3 minutes walk) and it's nice, clean and not at all crowded. We were warmly welcomed by Salvatore and his daughter. They took their time to explain us the details about the house. They also gave us suggestions where to eat and which sights to visit. The house was sparkling clean. We had a wondeful vacation at Casa le Pigne and would come back soon.
