The house is a jewel, a few yards away from San Giorgio, one of the most beautiful baroque churches in Sicily. It is very comfortable and magnificently designed. Because it is in Modica Alta, there is much walking uphill involved, but it is part of the experience. We travelled with a 5 year old and a baby and found it manageable. Lorenzo, who greeted us, was charming and extremely helpful. Modica itself is a jewel. Lunches in the garden were a treat, as were dips in the jacuzzi. I can't say enough good things about the place.
