Core excitations spectrum of the Abrikosov vortex pinned by a dielectric inclusion or nanohole of sizes of order of coherence length is considered using the Bogoliubov - de Gennes equations beyond semiclassical approximation. While the lowest excitation, minigap, in free (or pinned by a metallic defect) vortex is of order Δ²/EF, it becomes of the order of the superconducting gap Δ (EF is Fermi energy). The reconstruction of the quasiparticle excitations' spectrum has a significant impact on optical properties and tunneling density of states. We calculate the absorption amplitude and point out that, while in STM the energy gap ΔDOS is between a quasiparticle state with angular momentum μe = μ0 > 1/2 and quasihole with μh = - μ0, the microwave absorption gap, Δdir, is between the states with μe = μmin = μh ± 1. It is shown Δdir > ΔDOS.
