Casa Modesta is unique. Winter and summer, guests will find they should never have to compromise on the levels of comfort they enjoy at home. From the joy of cooking in the fabulously well-appointed kitchen to the bliss of rejuvenating sleep afforded by the luxurious beds, everything has been carefully planned and designed to make this a genuinely five star experience. As its name suggests, Casa Modesta presents itself as a simple cottage which, although recently rebuilt, retains much of its original character. Modesty, however usually belies a beautiful secret waiting to be discovered and our property is no exception to the rule. Walking through the front door of Casa Modesta is like opening a jewel box. The natural neutral tones of the building's facade do not prepare you for the richness of colour and texture inside. Outside, guests can take a walk through rows of almond trees or sit by the swimming pool and watch the sunset turn the vineyards orange and purple.

There is no doubt that Sicily has many grand palazzos and villas which offer holidaymakers spectacular views, and spacious accommodation. Along with the hefty rental charge however comes, inevitably, dodgy plumbing, uncomfortable beds, ill equipped kitchens and no central heating. The owners of this property have prioritised comfort over everything.

The love and care poured into the restoration of this rustic almond pickers’ storehouse is evident from the natural render and stone detailing on the outside of the building to the double height feature stone wall in the main living area. Interior walls are plastered with stucco rather than rendered with concrete which gives them a luxurious cool smooth feel. The walls of the main building are two feet thick which ensures the heat of the day is kept out and, in winter months when the usually balmy days become cooler at night, all is cosy and warm inside.

In the kitchen guests will find everything they need to transform the incomparable local fish, vegetables and fruit into healthy and delicious feasts. There is a top of the range under counter oven/grill, a gas hob, fridge freezer, dishwasher and plenty of cutlery and utensils, pots and pans. Opening the large cupboard doors in the living area will reveal shelves of beautiful crockery and glassware. Meals on the terrace are made all the more magical when the table is adorned with jewel coloured glasses, exotically glazed dishes and, of course, plenty of candles and lanterns.

The main living area also has a comfortable sofa and a television for evening relaxation. There are plenty of good books to share around and a Sonos sound system to provide the soundtrack to your evening.

The master bedroom has a king size oak canopy bed. The bed linen is crisp white Egyptian cotton with a super comfortable Eve mattress. There is a large French antique wardrobe and a glass sliding door leading out to a private terrace. The luxuriously appointed en suite bathroom has two basins, shower and toilet.

The mezzanine provides one of the many hidden delights of Casa Modesta. A stunning picture window which spans almost the whole width of the upper floor. The view from this window is gorgeous, especially at sunset. Guests can stay in two singles or one superking bed and will enjoy bed linen and mattresses just as luxurious as in the master bedroom. There is also a trundle bed for an extra child. Privacy is provided by a panel of Indian carved screens extending across the mezzanine.

The large family bathroom can be found just off the main living area. It has an oversized shower and a wardrobe style linen cupboard.

In the utility room, guests will find a washing machine, iron and ironing board and general cleaning materials.

There are three air conditioning units regulating the temperature of the main living area, mezzanine and master bedroom and under floor heating in the living area, master bedroom and both bathrooms to provide gentle even warmth in the cooler months.
