Magical. I could just end the review there. Caterina's place is perfect. It is in the most lovely location and the 130 or so steps to get down to the main street is really not that bad. Super easy to meet up with Pepe who had us follow him to the parking spot and guided us to the apartment. From the parking area, you walk down a hill then up a few steps to the apartment -- really not a big deal at all, especially if you're mentally prepared! The main bedroom is on the first level and very cosy -- though the mattress does dip a little and I may have preferred something a little more firm had we stayed longer (but really no too big a deal and still very comfy). The second level (up from the main entrance) opens into a nice sized kitchen with a gorgeous bathroom off the kitchen. The comfy living area/second bedroom area is off the kitchen and there's a desk with a computer for guests use there. Both the kitchen and living area open out to a balcony overlooking the town -- simply spectacular views! The kitchen has a small fridge and hot-pots for cooking but no oven/stove. That said, the kitchen is very well equipped so it wouldn't be too hard to put together a small dinner. The small piazza just outside the door is so romantic with beautiful plants and view to die for. We didn't mind the steps at all as they helped us to gain no weight as we ate our way through Italy. Caterina has some great recommendations for restaurants, etc. at the house which were confirmed by the owners of the amazing wine shop to the right of the stairs as you hit the main road. In all, we fell in love with Caterina's apartment and with Modica!
