The house is large and spacious and Antonino is a friendly host. He may appear reserved to allow your space (and to live your holiday), but he is at hand if you need help. When I asked him where to buy local produce, he kindly offered to come with us and we spent the morning together shopping. The beach is not far, but it'd be difficult to walk to with very young children. On the other hand, the location is great for trips around Avola, from Noto, to Siracusa to Marzamemi.
