First but not last time in Modica

Our visit to Modica could not have been better. Our host, Rosie, and Giorgio available on-site in Modica made us feel welcome and well cared for. The house is beautiful, spotless, charming, and comfortable, with all the amenities and conveniences imaginable. We can’t wait to go back! Thank you for making our visit an amazing experience.

Authentic Living

If you wish to have a taste of living like a real Sicilian in Modica, La Margherita is the perfect home. The townhouse is exceptionally well equipped and comfortable; the thick stone walls and stairs provide a sense of history. We met some of the neighbours, shopped at the local food stores, bought chocolate and pizza at the shops recommended by Rosanna. People were very friendly. Girogio who manages the property was welcoming and helpful The ricotta lunch he arranged for us was a unique and memorable experience. Modica is a pleasurable town to explore, and it is a good base for visiting other area attractions. We spent four nights here but could easily have spent much longer.

More in Modica

Book this place. Discover Sicily and stay here as your base for exploring the fascinating sites. The house is in a stunning location. I wish we had longer to linger and take it all in. Very off-the-tourist track which I love and fully appreciate. You'll have everything you need to sit back and chill after a busy or lazy day of your choice. Enjoy every moment. I want to go back again (and again) and highly recommend this property. The owners clearly are invested in living well and enjoying life. It's reflected in the stunning renovation. Thank you Rosie for letting us enjoy your amazing house. We loved it.

Excellent apartment

Lorenzo, the agent, met us as planned and helped with our luggage. The apartment is well situated with reasonably easy street parking. 10 mins walk to Main Street and 10 mins to supermarket (though be prepared for steps or gradient). The lighting around the entrance and surrounding streets make returning at night a pleasure. The apartment is extremely well equipped. And of a high standard, it's not often one finds quality china plates in a rental, we felt as if we were borrowing someone's home. The information package regarding restaurants , sights, day trips was most helpful. We also enjoyed the combination of architectural old/ comfortable modern interior and would not hesitate to recommend this well-looked-after apartment. Rosanna, the owner, answered all enquires promptly --- even though I emailed several times.

Fantastic getaway, beautiful house

This stay surpassed all our expectations. Gorgeous home. Beautifully renovated and tastefully decorated with all the modern necessities needed to make your stay comfortable. Everything you would want in your home was in this home. It was as if the owners knew what you would need on your stay before you realized you would need it. Very comfortable mattresses and a very nice terrace to enjoy. Well managed and owners quick to reply. We were greeted by Georgio who was very friendly and very helpful. The house can be tricky to find so it was great to meet up with Georgio at a central place as he navigated us to the house. The house is centrally located and close to all the conveniences. We did the Sicilian dinner experience offered. It was a delicious dinner served with great wine and Maria was a wonderful chef. Without a doubt would recommend this house and in a heart beat would stay again.

A Perfect Home in Sicily

We enjoyed our home away from home in Modica a great deal. Located in a picturesque alleyway, our home had two comfortable bedrooms, two bathrooms, cosy living and dining rooms, a well-stocked kitchen, and two balconies. Everything was spotlessly clean. Parking was available on the street. Giorgio, the house manager, was most cordial, and went above and beyond in arranging our stay. He met us upon our arrival and showed us around. He also arranged two private meals for us - a ricotta lunch hosted by Maria on her dairy farm and a 13-course fish lunch at a local restaurant. Both places showcased Sicilian food; everything was delicious. Giorgio also surprised us with an unexpected visit to an olive oil processing plant which was most interesting. and regaled us with tidbits re Modica and Sicily throughout our stay. Modica itself is an interesting town with plenty of cafes, restaurants, and food shops/stalls just a short walk from where we stayed. We especially enjoyed the cheese and salami shop in town.

Quiet, Charming and Well-equipped Modica Apartment

We spent four nights here and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. The apartment was very quiet and had everything we needed including ready access to downtown Modica for great restaurants, gelato and conoli. Try La Contea close by for a wide selection of tasty pizzas, a very well priced wine list and other dishes. We had them do a half porcini half cinghiale pizza that was amazing. Osteria Sapori e Produti a ways further up the other main road was a delight, dined there twice and had wine and dinner for two for 27 euro. For gelato try dei Angeli. Modica Alta, accessible by local bus, has an overlook Pizzo Belvedere not far from the main church at the highest point in Alta that gives a sweeping view of Modica. The adjacent tourist info/cafe has huge chocolate arrancini. Modica was great and Rosie has prepared a charming apartment, only thing, 16 somewhat steep stairs to the second level where the kitchen, dining, outdoor patio, 1/2 bath, W&D, sitting area with fold out couch, and balcony are located. The two bedrooms and main bath with large walk-in shower are on the ground floor. Enjoy! Peter & Martha

Lovely fully equipped house in central Modica

A friend and I stayed here for 3 nights in October 2013. We were warmly welcomed by George who showed us round and suggested some restaurants for dinner. He asked us to call him if we had any queries. The house was fully equipped with everything you would need for a holiday and self-catering and we liked the upstairs being open plan. The only comments we would make is that we could not find the kettle, which George told us as we saw him when we were leaving should have been there - we probably missed it! Also, the towels are getting very crusty and the beds are far too soft for me and my second and third nights sleep was not good because of that. We really enjoyed our stay at the house overall and loved Modica and the surrounding areas. We would recommend this to others and would suggest they explore Scicli and Noto. We didn't get to Ragusa as we only had three days here and used out time to visit Syracusa instead which was also a lovely historic town. We moved up the East coast after out stay.

Fantastic place to stay to explore SE Sicily

We loved this house for our recent 2 week stay in Sicily. The house is very charming, roomy, clean, and well-equipped. It was so easy to feel at home here whether for quiet days just chilling out cooking in or as a base for exploring Modica or farther afield. The upstairs is bright and airy, and the bedrooms downstairs are cool even in the heat of the day. The neighborhood is charming and central - we easily walked everywhere we wanted to go in the lower town, and the stairs to the upper town are just across the main street - easy for an evening out. We enjoyed the local shops, cafes, and farmers' stands. All of the local businesses were very friendly and welcoming, more so with repeat visits during our stay - we really felt at home. Modica is a great base for exploring the countryside and the coast. We spent our mornings visiting the nearby towns - Ragusa and Siracusa were favorites. Getting off the main roads and into the Hyblean hills was a beautiful adventure. Afternoons were mostly spent on the beaches, of which there are a nice variety. It was great being there at the tail-end of the season - perfect weather and warm seas without the crowds. All the information you need for a great visit is provided by the owners or at the tourist office that's just 5 minutes away on foot. We LOVED it!

A wonderful Christmas

Our group of 7 ( a couple of parents with two girls aged 12 & 8, 2 grannies and 1 friend) stayed at Rosie's beautiful apartment for one week over Christmas and had the best time ever! The apartment is truly beautiful, cozy and tastefully decorated and it is by far the best equipped of the many properties we have rented in the past. We had not understood the flat was on two floors and that was a great plus so everyone could enjoy some privacy despite there being 7 of us. We never felt the house was too crowded and the 2 bathrooms were crucial. Modica was a good choice in terms of location as we could easily visit different places every day without having to drive too long. We managed to see a incredible number of places such as Siracusa, Ragusa Ibla, Scicli, Noto, Palazzolo Acreide, Marzamemi, Capo Passero, Cava d' Ispica and many more. The on site assistance is great, George is very helpful and by the evening of our arrival we had been introduced to a number of establishments and shops and had been given a lot of insider tips about what to do and where to go. We did not miss out on any ! By the time of our departure we were friends with most of the shopkeepers in the neighborhood. We really hope to have a chance to come back to Modica and to Rosie's and we can absolutely recommend her place to others. Thanks for all Rosie and George. Chiara & family

Traveler's Dream Location!

We just got back from an excellent holiday at Casa Margherita . What a lovely home base from which to explore Sicily! The place was amazing and the house perfectly located. The architecture, churches, food, wine, chocolate and views of Modica were awesome. The house is well appointed and loving cared for with attention to detail and consideration for traveler's needs that makes for a wonderful vacation experience. It is a lovely home set amidst amazing scenery, shops and food and wine galore. We had a grand time - we saw all the sights of Modica as well as exploring Siracusa, the Island of Ortigia and Sampieri Beach and had a dip in the Mediterranean. We safely wandered the streets of Modica and soaked it all in and sat under the stars in the indoor courtyard in the evening - it was lovely! Rosanna's binder full of tips, times, and locations was invaluable - we visited the suggested areas and shops ( and found some spots on our travels too.) We had great restaurant meals and gelato, cannoli, cheese and chocolate visits to the local shops and made several awesome meals in the well appointed kitchen with fresh produce from the markets. It was a very relaxing holiday full of fond memories. The entire process from booking, arrival, our stay and departure was handled with care and consideration for our comfort. The communication with Rosanna was great and having Giorgio on hand in Modica to meet us, explain the area and be available on site if we needed assistance made for a pleasureable and stress free holiday. We would certainly recommend this location as a home base for a lovely Sicilian vacation!

Lovin' La Margherita

La Margherita in Modica is perfect. The residence is a home, with everything provided. . . Comfort, a well-stocked kitchen, and plenty of Italian atmosphere. Recently renovated, every window, every appliance, every piece of furniture has been well thought-out. We loved the comfortable bed, the linens, the washing machine, the stone stairs. the book of suggestions was very helpful, and Giorgio with his son Gabri were wonderful helping us to get settled and answer questions. But mostly, we loved the location. In the heart of a neighborhood we heard the sounds of the daily comings and goings of neighbors. ..a baby crying, a mother preparing dinner, a father going off to work. Just a few steps down and you're walking in the town, which itself has a lot to offer. Modica is a perfect location to settle yourself into your "home," then travel to any of a dozen towns, beaches, hiking adventures. We feel as if we barely scratched the surface! While in Modica we visited the beach at Donnalucata, the mosaics at Piazza Armerina, had an amazing Sunday lunch in Frigintini at Maria Fidone's, ate foccace, drank wine, ate more foccace, enjoyed an amazing free piano concert at the Civic Museum, ate chocolate, ate cannolis. . . And did I mention that we ate foccace??!! Here's what is say. . .if you're thinking about renting a place in Modica. . .stop. Don't spend your time looking any further. Book La Margherita now before someone else does. It may be ME!!!

Stone home heart of medieval Modica

My wife and I enjoyed our month long stay. Perfect location for us, and we loved Modica and it's surroundings. There's no shortage of thing do do and see. The history is unparalleled, the food is to die for, and there's always the Mediterranean... That said, be sure it's what your looking for, there's many stairs, the driving and parking can be a real challenge, especially in the medieval centers. For us though, it was the trip of a lifetime.

We spent an amazing 5 nights at La Margherita. The house is very comfortable and well appointed. It's an easy 5 or 10 minute walk to the centre of town with plenty of great restaurants and shops. There's a small grocery store and a fresh fruit and vegetable stall very close by. The owner provided a binder with lots of recommendations and information about the area and places to see. I would recommend staying at La Margherita to anyone.

A magical space in a charming town

We would highly recommend booking La Margherita for your next vacation. The architecture is stunning and every room was clean, very functional and comfortable. Modica is a beautiful charming town and we loved the sites, food, wine, the history and the people. Giorgio met us at the agreed upon location with no issues. He was very friendly, down to earth and helpful with any questions we had. From our base here we took many day trips. Some of our highlights were: Valley of the Temples in Arigento. Giorgio arranged for us to visit a farm in Val Di Noto where we enjoyed a 10 course home prepared meal which included all of the freshly made Ricotta you could eat really and great wine. I would say this is a must do for anyone visiting. We loved strolling the streets in Noto and Ragusa tasting a variety of Sicilian delicacies every few blocks. We saw amazing Archeological sites in Siracusa and Taormina and took a trip up to approximately 3000' on Mount Etna. Let’s not forget about the abundance of pistachio's and cannolis. We sampled cannolis in every area we visited. I have to say my favorite one was in Noto :-). Thank goodness most of Sicily is a big Stairmaster! I have been to Rome, Florence and Pisa and found Sicily my favorite. Part of the reason I feel this way was having your lovely home as a base made for a memorable vacation Thanks again for a great place to stay Rosie. Ciao Elaine, Naomi, Suzan and Gail

Thank you so much for letting us stay at your beautiful home in Modica. We were both really taken with the town - it really is a gem of a place. You are certainly never short of wonderful walks and places to eat and drink without having to get in the car and travel elsewhere. On the other hand, there are so many beautiful places within a 30 minute drive it would seem a shame not to! And, your house is the perfect place to be based too - clearly lovingly restored, with great attention to detail. We will be back!

Fantastic!

This is definitely the place to rent if you want to experience true Italian culture in Modica, Sicily! When we arrived at the airport, we were met by Georgio, the property manager. He was so welcoming and helpful with any needs we had during our stay. The property owner, Rosie, was the reason we decided to rent this place. She truly cares that you enjoy your stay in Modica and that everything is perfect! The apartment had everything needed to feel like you were actually living in Italy. Wonderful beds with comfortable linens and pillows, which were changed out every week by Georgio's wife, Antonella. Every evening, if weather permitted, we enjoyed sitting on the balcony with a glass of wine and listening to Italian families gathering for dinner. Steps away were many macelleria (meat shop), pastecceria (bakery shop), Pescheria (fish shop), Panettiere (bread shop), formaggio (cheese shop) and much more. Also, we were able to buy fresh vegetables and fruit everyday just a short walk away. The property is also not far away from the train station, which we used to visit Syracusa! Also, the bus station terminal is within walking distance if you want to venture to Modica Alto (upper Modica) or any of the surrounding towns such as Pozzallo (wonderul), Ragusa, or maybe Scili. This property had everything one could need to have a wonderful experience in Modica. Great property owner, manager and location! Thank you, again, Rosie and Georgio!!

Charming, comfortable, great location

This beautifully restored and cleverly designed house is a great base for a stay in Modica and the Noto valley. It is very close to the center of Modica Bassa with its wonderful cafes and lively atmosphere, nestled in a dramatic ravine. The house has a terrace that can be opened to become part of the dining area, so the space flows in and out, and, when opened, a delightful cross breeze cools everything in the evening. But there is also air conditioning if you need it. The rooms are cozy and the original architectural details have been preserved, but fixtures are up to date and make living there easy. The owners have very good taste and have created something that is both harmonious and colorful at the same time. The property manager, Giorgio, is extraordinary. He makes himself available to help in every sort of situation, and you feel, from your first moment there, that you have a great friend who is concerned about you and will make sure that you have the support you need for whatever may arise. We loved the house and love Modica -- a small city with a feeling of authenticity rather than that of a tourist Mecca, yet easily in reach of and connected to all the places a tourist may want to be. Thanks to the owners, Rosanna and Nora, for making their home available to guests. Best wishes from Susan and Jack.

Giorgio - what a great host. Helped us to the apartment, thoroughly toured the apartment and gave us a tour of Modica. While on the tour we stopped by a restaurant where he made us dinner reservations. He also made supper / dinner reservations for us on Christmas Eve and Christmas day (very limited openings). My 17 year old son, wife and I spent 5 days in Modica and enjoyed every moment. The apartment was perfect and we didn't need for anything. We could easily walk to town and there are many towns nearby to visit. An awesome visit.

Qui vous reçoit ?

Our jobs (journalist and teacher) have allowed us to travel for long periods of time during the summer months and over 10 years ago we travelled to Sicily for the first time. During my last sabbatical year, we decided that travelling to Sicily wasn't enough and that we both wanted to 'put down roots' in a place that felt like home from our very first trip. I spent most of my sabbatical restoring our 18th century home in the historic centre of Modica. A daunting task, but made easier because of the wonderful and hardworking people I met along the way. The renovation was completed, as promised, by the end of June 2011 and we spend our first summer in our new house. We love it and we hope that you too enjoy your stay in Modica - it is a truly amazing town.

Pourquoi avoir choisi cet hébergement ?

Modica is most definitely 'off the beaten track'! Sicily's southeast is, in our opinion, a particularly beautiful part of an already beautiful and interesting island. Its proximity to Siracusa, Noto and Catania makes it easy to get to and appealing in terms of places of interest for tourists. Although Modica is a popular tourist destination, with much to do and see, downtown businesses (restaurants, caffes, farmers' markets) continue to cater to both locals and visitors so that one can really feel what life and living in an southern Italian town is like.

Quels sont les atouts de cet hébergement ?

Our property is located in the historic centre of town surrounded by cobblestone lanes and streets. We walk everywhere and take the bus or train to the beach and nearby towns. We rent a car when necessary, but if we have the time, I prefer to use public transit. Our favourite caffe, Caffe dell'Arte, is a 5 minute walk from our house as is our favourite pizzeria: La Contea and bar: Hemingway's. There are countless others, but it's nice to have such amazing services nearby. Our house was completely restored by our Florentine architect who was committed to using traditional materials and reusing/restoring whatever we could, it definitely has all of the modern conveniences and comforts of home. The best part is that the beach is 20 minutes away!
