We stayed at Ornella's beautiful apartment for the first part of our holiday in Sicily. We had split our holiday in two parts, the first being Modica. Ornella was so helpful in providing us with a guide of Modica and the local area before we arrived, including where to visit, the best places for food and more importantly ice cream/granita. This helped us plan our time as we tended to use Modica as a base to travel out from.
The apartment was gorgeous. It was decorated in what we imagine is traditional Sicilian with some French chic bits. But the best part was by far the balcony and its view up Modica Alta. Ornella was an attentive host, and provided an apartment which was clean and well stocked, including bottled water in the fridge and a special and thoughtful surprise for my girlfriends birthday.
The lady from next door, Lidia, brought us a delicious lunch which was just what we needed after travelling since very early in the morning.
Modica is a great location to visit (by car) Ortigia and Syracuse, Marzamemi, lots of beautiful beaches and Etnaland. Modica also has many great places to eat- many of which are listed in the guide that Ornella provided us.
We would definitely recommend this apartment - and have done so already to our friends- and would love to come back!
