Dandrea Resort

By the sea in Avola on Sicily’s southeast coast, about 5 km from the city center. Easy walks or short drives bring you to Castello Maniace, Fonte Aretusa and the Museo Regionale di Arte Medioevale e Moderna. You’re also within reach of Cavagrande del Cassibile Nature Reserve, Porta Reale, the Cathedral of Noto and Calamosche Beach.

A small, intimate resort with just four guestrooms and private patios. Rooms feel like self-contained pads with full kitchens, flat-screen TVs and weekend housekeeping. Staff speak English and Italian, and there’s a terrace and solarium for catching the light and sea breezes.

Complimentary wireless internet across the property, a sun-soaked solarium and a terrace with sea-adjacent views. Free self-parking onsite and laundry services keep travel light. A roundtrip airport shuttle is available 24 hours for a surcharge, and local transfer services can be arranged to explore the coast.

Complimentary wireless internet for staying connected and free self-parking for those driving to meetings or day trips.

Rooms feature full kitchens with full-sized refrigerators/freezers and ovens for easy self-catering. Private patios and the terrace make for simple alfresco meals after a day exploring Sicilian seafood and local markets.
