We were 3 adults and a toddler visiting Sicily for the first time. We chose the Villa Carmela for its space, terrace and views and it lived up to our expectations. The apartment itself is large with grand rooms and high ceilings. It is cool and airy so we were comfortable even when the temperature outside was above 30°. The kitchen is well equipped and we were very grateful that Lorenzo, who met us and showed us around, had thoughtfully stocked the fridge with milk, juice and yoghurt and left us fresh fruit to start us off. The terrace and small garden were delightful and we sat outside enjoying the views or the share of the fruit trees most mornings and evenings. Modica itself is a very interesting town to explore with fascinating architecture and some real hidden gems. It is also well connected and we took trips out to the beach, the caves at Ispica and to Siracusa. Peter's recommendations for cafes and restaurants were excellent - our two year old particularly appreciated the wonderful and abundant gelato! I would thoroughly recommend both Modica and the Villa Carmela for an excellent holiday.
