Wow! Thankyou so much Olivia for your fantastic apartment. I spent a wonderful 2 weeks of relaxation in the apartment, starting with the lovely welcome and meeting with Olivia's mother Silvia. She certainly set up a great holiday in Modica for me, a welcome dinner to meet her friends in Modica, a walk around the next day to show me around where to buy everything, then lunch in Syracuse a couple of days later. It made me feel very comfortable staying there. The apartment was very well thought out with everything you need, warm and the terrace has a breathtaking panoramic view of the cite below. I miss it already. Don't worry about the steps up to St Therese, it's a good opportunity to take off the calories from the delicious cakes, chocolates and coffees you must try at the many cafés around. The weather in late November was in the mid 20's with very few tourists around so just perfect to enjoy the region without crowds. I enjoyed meeting many of the neighbours and vendors that pass daily with bread and vegetables, more cakes and everything you might need without going to the shop. St Therese village has everything you need including friendly hospitality. I would certainly return to Olivia's amazing apartment whenever I can. Thanks so much Olivia and particularly Silvia an your wonderful friends, I loved it. A bientot, xxMarilyn
