Fabulous,fantastic the best Airbnb that we have experienced in 8 months of travelling. The villa is beautifully renovated and we were the first very spoilt guests. The photos do not do justice to the villa. The terrace is hugh and has the most wonderful vista over the old town of Modica,regardless of whether it is day or night the views are magical. To complete the terrace there are sun lounges and chairs just waiting for you to use.
The interior of the villa is beautifully renovated, beautiful furniture is placed throughout the villa. Mauro the owner has the most beautiful books on Modica and sicily which are fantastic reading and just looking at the photography makes you want to go back and start your trip again of sicily.
The kitchen was fitted out so well, that in the 10 days we ate out twice. We even put on a beautiful lamb roast for some friends that we made there.
In winter the villa can be cold, once you see the thickness of the walls you will understand, but Mauro has installed four air cons that keep the place so warm for your stay.
The villa is very quiet and we felt very safe there. It is 132 steps down to the Main Street, we did it many times. If you have a car you can park it about 300 meters from the villa near the convent.
We were picked up at the bus station by the beautiful Laura who gave us all the information that we needed for the villa, and we have to say a big thankyou also Mauro's parents,both Laura and his parents were there at the beginning for us when we had a few little teething problems as we were the first guests,they could not have been more gracious and all was fixed that day.
Modica is beautiful, we found the best bar and people,go down the steps turn left , cross over the street, and walk about 500 meters ,it is painted white outside and very modern inside Bar Al ............ Great food,good company if you go say hi from marg and phil.
I hope I have left nothing out. Please all future guests which I know there will be, please look after the special place. As Mauro has put so many beautiful touches to this villa, beautiful furniture,artworks,books etc.
Thanks once again. Marg and phil ( mature couple ) well supposedly from Melbourne.
