It's hard to imagine a better place to stay in this part of Sicily. Sometimes we stayed home just to enjoy the space! Vittorio and Fabio were lovely hosts and very responsive to any questions--we had asked about where to eat and where to buy cheese, and they sent us lots of great recommendations. The kitchen and terrace are a particular delight here, and our hosts left us lots of fruit and vegetables to get started with, but even if you don't fancy cooking on your holiday, you should really make a point to have a few dinners out on the terrace. You could bring home some local cheeses, cured meats, olives, and bread from Casa del Formaggio, or you can even have pizza delivered from one of several excellent pizzerias. But there are also lots of lovely Sicilian cookery books for inspiration if you want to take advantage of the well-equipped kitchen (which we did). We never tired of the terrace view, and one night we were even treated to a concert that was being held down below in the centre--it was magic.
As to practicalities and comforts: the bed was comfortable, the bathroom clean (and stunning!), the location within walking distance of everything. The kitchen was well-equipped, and, blessedly, air-conditioned. The washing machine and washing line were also much appreciated. Fabio and Vittorio had marked a map with different areas for free parking, and we thought the one they themselves use (up high on S Benedetto?) was ideal, as it can be difficult to find free spaces down in the centre. It's also a lovely way to arrive in Modica, as the views from there are exeptional. Finally, I've mentioned the cookery books, but there are lots more of local interest or just good fiction around the house and in the shelves downstairs, along with a little library of sorts of leftover bottles of sunscreen or facial cleanser or other things previous travellers have left behind. This comes in handy since there's only so much sunscreen you can bring on a flight these days. We had a wonderful stay and wholeheartedly recommend it. I only wish we'd brought friends to enjoy the guest house!
