Great Location
1/2 way between upper and lower Modica it is was a perfect location for exploring the City. Plenty of parking on nearby streets, but summer may be more challenging. If you are using Google maps to navigate you need to use the the street number 51 vs 9 to get you home.

Modica
We loved this apartment. The views of Modica were amazing. The decor so well done. Plenty of room for 4. Sits above the city so must be able to climb many stairs. Day trip to Noto well worth it and of course the train ride through Modica!

Funky apartment with great views.
This funky artistic apartment is in a great location and is well suited for two couples travelling together. There are two balconies with amazing views over Modica. The apartment was well equipped and very comfortable. Communication with the host went smoothly. Modica is a hill town of many steps, and the situation of the apartment might be challenging for those with mobility issues, but the view is well worth the effort.

This apartment has amazing views from both floors. While compact, it is very comfortable and fully equipped. We were given a wonderful welcome by Aurora who settled us in with chocolates and a huge selection of fruit. She remained available to us throughout our visit for help or advice. We loved shopping for food in Modica and there are wonderful salumerias everywhere. Be prepared for lots of steps - our iPhone app told us it was a 16 story walk back up from the lower part of Modica where many good restaurants are located. We enjoyed the hike however as it offered incomparable views of the town and the church of San Giorgio.

lovely stay in Modica
My husband and I had a very enjoyable stay at this apartment. It was our first time to Sicily and Modica is very charming. Aurora was extremely helpful getting us situated and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit here. The apartment is very quiet at night, perfect for sleeping and down time. Be prepared for lots of walking and enjoy the Modican chocolate!

Loved Modica and this house is special!!!
This house is beautifully renovated to keep the old charm but is very modern in its conveniences. The art and views are outstanding. The beds are very comfortable with crisp white linen. The location perfect to explore Old Modica. It was all simply perfect!

This is a very beautiful house in an extraordinary city
We had a wonderful stay in Sicily over the New Year and the view of fireworks over the hillside from the balconies will stay with us for a very long time. The house is great, beautifully decorated and (so long as you can deal with lots of stairs) the location in Modica Alta is outstanding. The hosting from Aurora was faultless and we had everything we needed for a memorable holiday.

Un balcon sur la ville
Nous avons passé trois jours merveilleux à Modica. L'appartement est charmant, idéalement placé et la terrasse, très agréable, offre une vue magnifique sur la ville et sur San Giorgio - sans doute la plus belle des églises baroques de Sicile orientale. Nous tenons enfin à remercier Lorenzo pour sa gentillesse et pour son accueil à notre arrivée.
