This is a charming rural home up a quiet country road in the hills about a 15 minute drive from Avola, and maybe 20 mins from historic Baroque hill town Noto. It's well located for visiting other places, but so pretty and restful we found we just wanted to sit in the garden all day, enjoying the sunshine, shade and gentle breeze from the hills. The house is surrounded by fruit trees, and the owners very generously are happy for guests to eat from the garden, picking tomatoes, peppers and delicious aubergines from the vegetable plot. There's both an indoor and an outdoor kitchen, well equipped with utensils and pretty crockery, and lots of different seating areas inside and out, including a hammock and a tree house (didn't scale the walnut tree to try that out but it looked sound). Enjoy a beautiful view of hills across the valley and butterflies and lizards darting around the flower pots.
As other guests have already written, the owners, Lorena, Turi and sons, are very welcoming and thoughtful. They arranged to meet us at an easy-to-find location and led us to the house. They provided basic provisions like bread, fruit, almond milk and tea, on arrival, and then left little gifts of home-made jam, handfuls of almonds, local wine and herb-infused liqueur. (You'll probably find olive oil, vinegar, salt, herbs etc already in the kitchen). They visit to water the garden very unobtrusively and refill the water tank in the evenings. If you want to be sociable, or ask advice, they're happy to help, and chat, but if you want to keep to yourselves you'd hardly notice they'd passed by.
None of these things concerned us at all, but a few things to note: the stairs to the bedrooms upstairs are very steep (almost a ladder). Upstairs there are no doors between the bedrooms - the different sleeping areas are relatively private, but you have to walk through 1&2 to get to 3. There is a very gentle dog who watches the property and stays up out of the way, up by the perimeter gate (the owners will take him home with them if you don't want him there). He gets very happy and tail waggy when you come home, and was an unexpected but very cheerful addition.
We absolutely loved our week here and hope to return. A big thank you Lorena and Turi for all your kindness.
