A very heartwarming family ☺️ everything was above expectations and we felt very welcomed. The best stay in Sicily! Thank you 🩷

Lovely breakfast with homemade cakes included. Corrado was the perfect host and very friendly. We really enjoyed our stay.

Nothing

The rooms are beautiful, spacious and clean. The hospitality was great, we felt very welcome. It was really nice to eat the great breakfast outside. The B&B is close to the beach and we could use beachchairs and sunumbrella's..

We are delighted with our stay at B&B Shining. The hosts are incredibly welcoming and friendly. They make sure that nothing is missing. The room is modernly decorated and very clean. The breakfast is very tasty, Italian style, and includes delicious homemade pastries. The distance to the sea is 20 m.

What an amazing B&B ... the BEST stay of our trip & perfect in every way. It's the personal and extra special touched that makes all the difference from the welcoming drink and dessert to the ice cold bottle of water in fridge to the perfect room and private terrace to the most amazing breakfast. Not to mention the goodbye gift and treat for the day ahead.

We should have made this our base and stayed longer, but there is always a next time.

Everything who enjoys holidays and the meaning of it, such perfection 49 seconds from sea beautiful bay really place for pure enjoy. Corrado and his mother even made you stay more comfortable than any hotel of 5 ⭐️ fully recommended 10/10

That we don't have more days to stay life calling every holiday have start and end 😄

Clean, nice facilities, comfortable beds, delicious breakfast

Everything was just great! Very welcoming host, every even small question answered. Variative delicious breakfast. The room fresh, light and clean, everything done with soul and love. It was our best stay in Sicily. Tremendous thanks to Corrado and his mother - and only best wishes.

The place is the ground floor of a house, made into rooms for guests. It is spotlessly clean, spacious enough, with a little private porch in front of the room. The mattress, pillows, sheets are super comfortable. Breakfast, although we visited in low season- mid May- and were the only guests, was perfect as far as both variety and quality are concerned. Coffee (cappuccino and espresso) could be better, but generally we noticed that it is an over- praised topic as regards Italy, as we are used to better coffee back home (Greece). The owner/ host is as perfect as the place he runs. He will go out of his way, with a warm, unpretentious smile and manners to make you feel you are valued and your needs should be met... The place is just a few meters from the beach which we did not enjoy as we did not have the time and the weather was still cold, windy and rainy.

As the rooms are on the ground floor with a tall wall surrounding the yard, the view from the room is blocked, although there would not be much to see around the house anyway. The location is a bit out of the main roads and the area does not have much to offer if you can't go swimming. On the other hand, Noto is a 20 minute drive and Ortigia (Syracuses) easy to reach too.

This is a fantastic B&B and Corrado was an excellent host. The room was very comfortable and breakfast was great with everything you could want and a large bowl of lots of different fruits. Highly recommended!

Everything was absolutely perfect. Amazing hosts, breakfast was excellent and the best homemade cake that you must try. Room was exceptionally clean and comfortable. Recommend 10/10 👌🏻

B&B Shining Avola is placed in a great part of Sicily, close to amazing beaches and other places worth visiting, such as Syracuse, Noto and Modica. It’s a quiet place, only few people can live there at the same time and we got to meet them and connect with them even for a little bit. The host Corrado and his family are amazing people! They make your stay feel like being at home! Very friendly and hospitable!

A family business with wonderful hosts, delicious breakfast, every day a new home made cake that was fluffier and tastier than the last. They gave great recommendations for our trip. The location was excellent. And we got every day a little snack to go. Very thoughtful. Our room had everything we needed. When we had a little issue with our shower drain, they fixed it right away. Overall excellent service for a great price. After having travelled multiple times across Sicily over the years, this is by far my favourite accommodation, and definitely the best price/value ratio.

Very minor but the terrace’s privacy could be improved by putting up maybe a screen or some taller potted plants that make it a little more cosy, and less easy to see in from outside, as other guests pass by it during breakfast e.g. and it also makes it difficult to leave the curtains open in the room, leaving it a little dark.

We enjoyed the property as well as the breakfast. Very kind recommendations on what to visit. Owners are available for any needs that we had, highly appreciated. Breakfast is plentiful and the owner makes a fresh cake every day. They easily accommodated lactose intolerance as well.

Honestly the best b&b we have ever stayed in! Corrado and his parent were attentive, friendly and helpful. The rooms are spotless and the breakfast with fresh fruit, fresh pastry, home made cakes, juices and coffees was simply incredible. We can’t praise this enough. I’m addition, the price is very reasonable and location is perfect for beach, Avola and getting around the local area. Top 🔝 B&B

The host family was incredibly nice and very attentive. The breakfast is very diversified, so you will find something to your taste. We loved that we could take our meal on our terrace. You can reach the beach or a good restaurant by foot

You could hear sounds from the adjacent rooms or from the outside.

For us, the B&B was perfect; small, family-run, very clean, with the facilities we needed for a quiet holiday. Corrado and his family were very friendly and helpful and really couldn’t do enough for us.

We found the mattress to be a bit too hard, but that is simply our preference.

The location was great to explore the whole region of Syracuse and visit great beaches - at least 3 nights reccomended. We greatly enjoyed the breakfast and the owners were very nice and helpful. The bed was super comfy. Also free parking on the premises.

The patio wasn't really private but that didn't bother us.

The room was spotless and smelled lovely. Tastefully decorated with some nice colours and a lovely area to sit in the garden. The breakfast was amazing with home cooked cakes made by the owner and there were fresh pastries, bread and fresh fruit. The owners were delightful and so helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Car parking on site.

Nothing!

We had a great stay. Corrado and his mother are wonderful people and they helped us with everything we needed. The orange cake for breakfast was amazing. We would definitely recommend their b&b.

Corrado was very friendly and accommodating. very clean facility.
