Hybla Major B&B

We had a WONDERFUL stay in Hybla Major B&B - we arrived in the middle of a rare cyclone, and Gabriele and her son were our SAVIOURS. When all the restaurants were closed, Gabriele cooked us a delicious pasta made with organic tomatoes by her mother, complete with fresh homemade potato bread and fruit for dessert. The breakfasts here were the best we've had in all of Sicily; several varieties of freshly baked homemade cakes and sweets on the buffet table, plus homemade organic antipasti (e.g: homegrown courgettes and mint, peperoncino, fresh tomatoes, locally grown olives) and delicious freshly made organic bread. The home-made creamy yoghurt, candied orange peel and mandarin jam were also a highlight, alongside a caffé macchiato! Gabriele's son also speaks excellent English and kindly helped us out with bus/train times. He is also a talented photographer and his photos of the local area adorn the walls, which is a nice touch. Gabriele speaks Spanish which was also useful (as I don't have any Italian!) She gave us a brilliant food recommendation - Mammarancina around the corner - which was much appreciated; €3.50 for a slice of the best porcetta pizza slice you will ever taste and just €3/3.50 for beautifully flavoured arancini and lovely wait staff. The room was spotless, shower hot, heating good (necessary for February) and the location couldn't have been better. The B&B is 1 minute walk from two supermarkets, and a minute's walk to various bars and restaurants of excellent quality. It is also just a few minutes walk from the main square Piazza Trieste. Avola is great if you want to travel to Siracusa/Ortigia or Noto for a day trip, too. Sadly we didn't get to see much of the town itself (or visit the almond museum) due to the storm, but what we did see looked beautiful. Thank you, Hybla Major! We will be telling ALL our friends to stay here - and we will remember the incredible breakfasts for a long time to come, too! We decided against staying in an Airbnb and I'm so glad we did!

Abbiamo soggiornato in questo b&b con un'esperienza meravigliosa. Posto economico e staff gentilissimo e simpatico, disponibile per qualsiasi necessità. Colazione squisita con prodotti fatti in casa anche pronti per allergie come celiachia e intolleranza al lattosio. Stanze moderne e pulite, con bagni grandi e comodi e vari gadget carini. Comodo anche per raggiungere pizzerie, bar e attrazioni come le piscine di Cavagrande del Cassibile.

Il b&b è nuovo, di nuova ristrutturazione. È possibile parcheggiare gratuitamente davanti alla struttura. Si trova in una posizione strategica; da qui infatti si possono raggiungere le principali città della costa sud orientale: 10 minuti da Noto, 30 minuti da Marzamemi, 30 minuti da Ortigia e vicina alla riserva naturale. Inoltre, il centro di Avola è raggiungibile a piedi. Camera ampia e nuova, pulizia impeccabile. La colazione è speciale: marmellate, torte e pane tutto fatto in casa (da provare assolutamente la marmellata di mandarini). Che dire, non c’è stata una nota storta nel nostro soggiorno. 5 stelle meritate tutte!
