The directions Gaetano provided were very clear and easy to follow. We parked at the car park by the bus stop near the roundabout and set off on foot to locate the house. Walked right to it, moved the car to the closer car park (there's really good, free parking here), and ascended about 40 steps to get to the home (we were warned). We tried to phone Gaetano about an hour ahead of arrival and were worried when we couldn't reach him (our phones weren't working properly), but he showed up within 15 minutes of our arrival. The location is perfect--just below the steps to the new town, an easy walk to the bus stop and tourist information area. Also just off SP25 so an easy drive to Modica, Noto, etc.

The house is totally renovated and updated but retains the charm and characteristics of the past. It was exactly as pictured, very clean and orderly, had ample zoned heating (it was unseasonably cool), and good natural lighting and airflow. For the uninitiated (like us), Sicily regulates power consumption, so plan activities that consume electricity accordingly. The kitchen/dining area were separate spaces from the living room and a pocket door provided privacy for the second bedroom--great design.

Gaetano was an exceptionally conscientious host. The home was stocked with all the essentials like paper products, dish & body soap, shampoo, cleaning products, etc.-- but there was also milk, coffee, tea, juice, water, breakfast items, oils/spices. Also plenty of brochures, books, & maps in several languages. More importantly, Gaetano phoned us periodically to make sure all was well. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this home to others.
