For us the highlights of the apartment are the terrace and the use of the two bicycles. The terrace is huge and private with the most lovely mountain view. The bikes enabled us to see practically every fascinating little street in Avola and to easily get down to the beach for a swim each day. We chose the far end of the beach adjoining the north side of the old tuna place. Peaceful with beautifully clear warm water.
We loved the main square in the old town - named after Umberto 1 and visited one of the cafes there several times for traditional Sicilian snack lunches and the most wonderful ice cream. And all at a very reasonable price.
The city of Noto is within very easy reach - just a few minutes on the train.
We found the best way to keep the apartment from heating up was to keep the main terrace doors open overnight and to use the electric fan. What a treat to awake to that view!
There is a little bakery within just a few minutes cycle ride along the street underneath the balcony. There’s a little Spar in the town and a Penny (obwohl nicht besonders gut, meiner Meinung nach) and a Lidl which we didn’t get to use.
Benito was very helpful and picked us up from the station and gave us a little tour of the town on arrival. He also helped us out with a last minute problem we had with our bus ticket when we left.
Would very happily come back to Avola and to Benito’s apartment.
