La Casa della Nonna is a spacious, well appointed apartment in Marina di Modica. The four bedrooms, three bathrooms, large well equipped kitchen and three terraces worked very well for the four of us who stayed there. Parking is available outside the first floor apartment which is on a quiet, residential road. There are views to the sea which is about a 5 minute walk to a rocky beach but if you walk along the seafront towards the town centre, you reach a really nice sandy beach with beach clubs which is about 10 minutes walk away. The town itself is quite small but does have a few nice bars and restaurants as well as a small supermarket. Bar Fiore is well worth a visit for its delicious home made ice creams and granitas! Larger supermarkets were in nearby towns about 10 minutes drive away. The main road which connects to the motorway is very closeby making this an ideal base to explore the South of Sicily. We easily visited as far as Taormina on the East coast and Gela on the west. A car is essential to explore Sicily. As you are in 'Montalbano' country, you should also visit his house at Punta Secca which is not far away! Olivella was very flexible on check in and check out. She met us at the airport and gave us directions to the apartment and a wifi receiver but the signal at the apartment was very weak so we were unable to receive it there. We were met at the apartment by a very nice lady called Margerita who gave us the keys (only one set) and showed us round and how to use everything. She also left us her number in case of any problems. The apartment is very much as per the photos and we would recommend a stay there.
