What a treasure - this was a little off the guidebook itinerary but so glad we found it. A beautiful home turned into a guesthouse run by the family that use to live there. Giovanni, his brother and daughter greeted us when we arrived and gave us a tour of the small museum set up in the first floor - a great peak at their own family history, local history, and Modica's unique architecture. You can see the original rock/cave the home was built around. We had two suites upstairs - both keeping the beauty of the original home (antique tiles, stove, wooden doors and beams) while also having all the amenities of a modern house (air con, insulated windows, great shower and bathroom). Our suites also had kitchenettes - it was nice to be able to make coffee in the morning and sit out on our balcony. There is a friendly bakery just down the street. The guesthouse is in the upper part of Modica, so we had to do a little drive to get to the main street - Corso Umberto I - this is the place to go for strolling, dining, and shopping. Walking is more direct but you will have lots of stairs and a step climb on your way back - and beautiful views of the city!
