Juliet Apartment truly felt like "home" to us while celebrating the Christmas/New Year holiday in Modica! The apartment was well represented by the listing pictures. In Francesco's absence, Lorenzo and Silvia met us and provided us with a thorough explanation of the apartment, Modica, and outlying area. The amenities were plentiful, and the apartment was perfectly clean and well-attended to.

The sleek, clean, modern restoration of this historical palace is exquisite. Having a background in construction/restoration, we recognized the high quality of workmanship, wise usage of space to provide natural light, storage, and beautiful nuances. Although we always felt very safe in Modica, Francesco has "gone the extra mile" to provide security for his guests.

The location of Juliet Apartment was perfect for us to explore old town Modica by foot, and we appreciated all of the recommendations Francesco provided before our arrival and Lorenzo/Silvia during our welcome time. We are definitely glad we had reserved ahead of time a rental car at the Brindisi airport, because we enjoyed taking several day trips to explore the southern 1/2 of the island of Sicily. The seaside, volcano, UNESCO towns, etc., were a good start for our first time visiting Sicily. The island has much more to explore than we had time for. We will be back for sure!

The weather during late December to early January was very comfortable to us [we were "escaping" our very cold/snowy winter]. The temperatures were certainly mild with daytime averaging in the low 60s. We appreciated the bright blue skies, and only had one day of some rain and high wind. While we noticed many local people were bundled up with heavy coats, scarves, hats, gloves, we were quite pleased to wear a heavy sweater and occasionally a light coat and hat.
The brilliant blue skies were a beautiful backdrop for our many pictures!

We had brief problems with the heat, tv, and water; however, Lorenzo returned our text promptly on all accounts. He was very professional in determining a resolution, and we had no further problems. We have NO complaints with these temporary glitches. We were especially thankful for an Airbnb that ultimately provided consistent and plentiful heating, hot water, internet connection, separate sleeping areas for husband/wife and adult daughter, rain shower head, well-equipped kitchen, washer/dryer, parking, terrace (wow, what a view!), lots of natural light, and tasteful decor.

Again, we will be back!
