Alessio’s and Francesca’s apartment is without a doubt one of the most unique and beautiful spaces we have stayed in during our travels through Sicily. The creativity and care that was taken to renovate the space is remarkable...a work of art.
It is located in a lovely courtyard where other Italian families live. One gets the feeling that one is truly part of a small, friendly community.
Alessio, Francesca (and their lovely little daughter) were the most welcoming and generous hosts we have experienced on our trip. From the well stocked fridge, to the fresh watermelon, to the basket of figs...so many little touches made our experience extra special.
Avola is a delightful town...it is a pleasant relief from the crowded tourist-packed surrounding locations
And as for the challenge making the sharp turn through the narrow opening to the free parking space in the courtyard? Never fear...Alessio or Francesca will be there to help you navigate the turn...and you will ultimately learn how to do it yourself!
