of all towns in Val de Noto, we thought Modica was the most charming and authentic one. still some real people/real places rather than overly gentrified (like Ragusa, for example).
and Caterina's place was more beautiful and better located than imagined. it is just a few stairs into the historical centre and the view and the terrace are just amazing. every day waking up to this fills you with such joy and wonder. you don't even want to leave the house. location-wise it also appeared the best of Modica. you have the best view of town and it is quiet.
we stayed in springtime and it was a bit cold outside, but there was air conditioning inside so it was cosy enough when needed. no internet though.
i do want to come back!
