Villa Paola Avola

Accomodatie was wel heel goed schoon . Fijne / genoeg handdoeken. Goed uitgeruste keuken .

Bedden heel hard . Geen kussens op ligstoelen/ tuinstoelen . Dan ga je echt niet op z’in plastic tuinstoel liggen . Geen keuken/huiskamer. . Geen kastje leeg voor eigen spulletjes. Kapotte parasol. Durfde met wind niet uit te klappen . Kleine voortuin, grenzend aan eigenaar. Prijs te hoog voor dit alles.

Wonderful place to stay, 1 min to the beach, walking distance resteurants (10 minutes) , close to bus stop that can take you to the airport ( 20 minutes walking)

It’s a beautiful location, lovely owner and has a good set of equipment in the kitchen. The location is incredible, perfect for the beach and several good restaurants.

I booked this expecting quiet and privacy, it was also one of the more expensive options and I was choosing to pay a premium to get those things. What nothing in the booking makes clear is that this isn’t a stand alone property. It is basically an annex within a larger house. This means the front garden and sun loungers has no privacy from next door, and there is a lot of noise from the rooms next door. I was woken up daily by conversations at 8:30, but worse was through the nights, woken up by door bells at 1:30am, adults talking loyally while drinking and 30 minutes of 3am vomiting by an obviously drunk guest. Several times the owners friends blocked in the private driveway so we had to go speak to them to get the car out, one time we struggled to get out of the gate to do so. On the last night they even asked me at 10pm to come out and move my car. I was already undressed for bed as we had an early start the next day. Add to this a tiny tv, an incredibly uncomfortable sofa and only one of the beds having an ok mattress, plus getting there and finding only one of the two bedrooms made up (because we booked as two people, but two friends traveling we booked explicitly to get separate bedrooms) On the whole unimpressed at what seemed to be advertised, the price compared to what we actually got. No amount of friendliness from the owner can make up for that.

Very big place fir 4 small garden and parking space fir the car. Great location, front view.

Wifi was not woeking

From the very beginning, communication with the host was very prompt and friendly, very helpful with advice on how to get to Villa Paola, where we can eat, where we can shop, attractions in the area...etc. And they made every effort to offer us an earlier check-in, which was highly appreciated after a long and tiring trip. We were conquered first of all by the position of the villa, which is literally 20 m from the absolutely wonderful beach (only sand, no rocks) with various restaurants/pizzerias nearby that can be reached by foot. The structure is very well maintained, clean, tastefully furnished, everything is brand new and meets all the needs of an entire family (in our case four people). The outdoor terrace/garden (equipped with a table, comfortable chairs, a large umbrella and deckchairs) was a very appreciated addition for our extra comfort. I definitely recommend this location and we will surely come back next time our steps take us to the beautiful Sicily. Thank you!
