We had a lovely stay at this charming house. Lots of character and a lovely terrace with a breathtaking view of the city. We would highly recommend and would love to stay again
Great location. There’s a lovely little coffee shop right down the street that overlooks the Duomo. There are quite a few steps to walk down to the main street but most people should have no problem with it. Or you can drive. Apartment has a great patio with a fantastic view. Inside the apartment it is two levels so you must be prepared to use some stairs. Overall a great experience.

Mitch is a nice nice person. He treated the house as if it were his. We interacted pleasantly. I recommend him to other hosts as a special guest
Hübsches Häuschen, oben am Bergkamm gelegen, mit herrlichem Ausblick, haben uns in Modica Alta verliebt. Alles vorhanden, was man braucht. Super Kontakt mit Vermieterin und beste Betreuung durch Ansprechpartner vor Ort. Bei Anreise unbedingt den Parkplatz am Kastell nutzen. Der Aufstieg vom kostenlosen Parkplatz unten ist mit Koffern kaum zu schaffen, Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt absolut genossen.
