"We came in from the USA. We really enjoyed the stay. The property is well-maintained and clean and the pool is awesome.Beds work are super comfortable-great shower-and the kitchen was nice too. We found Avola to be a great location close to the highway. We were surprised that there is way more restaurants than we anticipated seeing online.Grocery stores in the area are cheap in my mind. And it was great buying real pasta and meats and the wine here is so cheap.It can be a little tricky finding the house but once you do, it’s simple. We had one smaller size SUV. There was a good parking spot. If you had more than one vehicle, that may be a little complicated.The host is super friendly. And very, very accommodating and communicates really well. I would highly recommend this property to anybody who wants an authentic Sicilian experience with very good modern amenities."

"We had a wonderful stay at Corrado’s villa. It was very relaxing, the pool was amazing, very big and the front of the villa was like an oasis of calm, with its array of beautiful palm tress. The location was perfect, with easy access to Noto, Syracuse, Monica and Ragusa, all of which were stunning. Corrado was the perfect host, very friendly and helpful."

"About a mile away from the beach. But rooms need work. AC did not work in first room. Additionally, there was a terrible odor coming into my room as well as others in my party. Staff was super friendly and tried their best, but I didn't sleep both nights I was there."

"Breakfast doesn't include everything as some hotels have. We stayed 2 nights with family, hotel wasn't busy so looks quiet. It is good in general. "

"Beautiful home, well appointed with exceptional outdoor space including pool and eating, lounging area. Great views of Avola. We used this as our base to tour the Val D'avola. Our host, Ino, was very conscientious in helping make our stay very comfortable."

"My wife and I booked this B&B for our honeymoon, the price and the rooms are very good quality. We enjoyed staying here, the owner is very friendly and helped me out with a few things. He doesn’t live in the building but his mother does and she was great. She gave my wife and I some beach towels because we forgot ours at home in the U.S. I’m not 100% sure who the older woman is that cooks the breakfast every morning but it is to die for, she makes all sorts of foods for the guests in the mornings which are delicious. They arrange tables in coordination with the guests staying there. One thing that kinda bothered my wife was you cannot eat inside the rooms, we aren’t sure if that’s just a Sicilian B&B thing. Everyone that runs the B&B together, you guys are doing an awesome job making this place very pleasant place to stay, all are very kind and have great hospitality! Avola in general has a genuine Sicilian culture so i recommend anyone that wants to see what real Sicilians are like stay here its worth it, you’ll see the difference between the touristy bigger cities and appreciate the little peaceful town of Avola even more. The beach is very close and the food at every restaurant we ate in the area was very good. Just make sure you practice your Sicilian or download a good translator app because the language is much different then Italian! Syracusa, Taormina, and Mt Etna are a max hour and a half drive. "

"We stayed at this hotel for 8 days in April. Upon arrival, Oriana (I hope I got the name correct) greeted us with a warm smile, and Carmelo, the hotel manager, ensured a smooth check-in, personally guiding us to our room. Things We Loved: The property grounds were beautifully maintained, and the outdoor space was, by far, the best feature of the hotel. It was a peaceful and enjoyable area to relax. Both Carmelo and Oriana were incredibly helpful, offering fantastic restaurant recommendations, guiding us to the nearest laundry facilities, and providing excellent overall service. Their hospitality truly stood out. There was a daily room service providing us with clean towels, toiletries and water bottles everyday. Areas for Improvement: Breakfast options were quite limited. While it was included in our booking, there was no hot food, and the selection remained the same each day. Eating the same cold food for eight days was challenging. The swimming pool was colder than expected. With mild April temperatures (between 20–25°C), we had hoped to enjoy the pool, but the water was mostly cold. My kids were excited to use it, but we weren’t sure if warm water was ever pumped in. Given the low number of guests, it seemed pool maintenance wasn’t a priority. No laundry facilities available on-site. Other things to note: - We need to drive 2-3kms to access the highway although the hotel is next to it. - Can't walk into Avola as the roads didn't seem safe and suitable. "

"We did not realise when we booked that no toilet paper could be flushed ( septic tank) Apparently this is quite common in Sicily. We had to empty all used toilet paper into the organic waste bin outside. The owners lived next door and were on hand for any issues. The access road to the property was very narrow but fairly short, a small car would be preferred for access reasons. The WIFI was not adequate for us to stream a film. "
