It has been a pleasure throughout to stay in Gianni’s apartment, which is comfortable and nicely situated with a wonderful view over the ocean from the balcony. The narrow street by the house is one way and not noisy. It’s a huge attraction to be able to follow the changing sounds, colours and moods of the ocean, while you eat, read or chat on the balcony. You can bathe in the water directly from the rocks vis-à-vis the house or from the nice sandy beach just five minutes’ walk to the west. The cosy town of Marina di Ragusa itself is reachable in car in ten minutes and offers more beaches and several good cafés and restaurants. There are also plenty of possibilities for more far reaching tours by car, including Ragusa Ibla, Modica, Piazza Armerina (highly recommendable), Noto and Syracuse (so elegant).
Last but not least, the host, Gianni, is incredibly nice and helpful and does a lot to make you feel properly at home. If you’re a bit sporty or have agile children, he offers highly recommendable lessons in wind surfing close to Marina di Modica. He simply made our experience of Sicily more memorable.
