This is an amazing space and a unique experience! The high arched ceilings and beautiful decor give an elegant, palatial feel, and the shower in the cave is big enough for two, a rarity in Italy. The small kitchenette is suitable for simple breakfasts or reheating, but not for serious cooking. Our host thoughtfully provided some wine and fruit, as well as coffee, cereal and milk. We also received great recommendations from our host. The city of Modica is a delight with many great restaurants to choose from, and it is a center of Italian chocolate making. Book experiences like cooking classes and wine tastings early, at least a week in advance, to avoid being shut out. Also, Modica is only 20 minutes from a beautiful beach with the softest sand I’ve ever seen. Be advised, though, that this apartment is built into a hillside. It is a unique experience to negotiate the warren of stairs, steps, and streets to get up to the on-street parking (50 stairs ) or down to the main street restaurant area (over 100 stairs). The locals seem to float up and down, but we had to take it slow. This apartment offers an opportunity to experience local culture in an environment that makes one feel like royalty. It ranks as one of the top stays of my life.
