Check in, Kommunikation mit dem Vermieter und Ausstattung des Hauses waren einwandfrei. Leider war das Wetter nicht sonderlich warm ( kann man vielleicht auch nicht Ende März erwarten) , aber der Vermieter hatte mit einem Pelettofen vorgesorgt - unsere Rettung. Ansonsten ist die Lage für Ausflüge in die Barockstädte ideal!

Casa immersa in uno splendido parco, in una posizione tranquilla e rilassante. Piacevolmente arredata, accogliente e comoda, pulita. Fuori dalla città ma abbastanza vicina e anche il mare è raggiungibile in un quarto d'ora. Il proprietario è stato accogliente e disponibile anche se "da remoto". Unico piccolo neo: l'aria condizionata in comune tra le due camere, ma con un po' di buona volontà si gestisce.

Wunderschöner und entspannter Ferienort

Sehr gepflegtes und sauberes Ferienhaus mit gemütlicher Terrasse in traumhafter Lage. Die großen Bäume spenden den ganzen Tag über Schatten, wodurch die hohen Temperaturen gut auszuhalten sind - auch im Schlafzimmer, dank vorhandener Klimaanlage. In Haus und Küche haben uns keine Dinge gefehlt. Sehr nette und hilfsbereite Vermieter! Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Perfect for our stay

We had a very beautiful time renting this house. In a very good location, between Modica and Scicli, surrounded by nature and lovely neighbours! The property has a traditional and rustic interior and outside a large terrace and space for parking! Alberto was very helpful and prompt to help at any time of the day. We really enjoyed our stay and definitely we recommend it!!! Thank you so much guys!

Lovely country setting in a charming stone house.

We thoroughly enjoyed this stone cottage in the country. It is spacious well equipped with everything needed, and very comfortable. The house was clean and with good instructions for anything a guest might need. We loved the shaded patio, and the pellet stove provided a welcome heat source on cool nights. The location is great if you have a car, with access to the fascinating archaeological sites of Ispica Park, and beautiful Centro Modica. Alberto and Marcello are quality hosts, very responsive. Highly recommended.

Ottimo!

Casa accogliente, pulita, ben equipaggiata di biancheria ed elettrodomestici, con due camere da letto e una grande cucina con ampio soggiorno. La terrazza è magnifica e molto ampia e ombreggiata con vista sul parco Archeologico. Il giardino è in condivisione con un altra casa in affitto (sempre dello stesso proprietario) ma c'è molto spazio. L'accoglienza è stata molto calorosa e il padrone è stato sempre disponibile e presente. La casa è in campagna, in un luogo tranquillo - per muoversi consiglio auto o bicicletta. Da consigliare,

Una casina difficile da lasciare

Ci siamo trovati bene sin dal primo momento che l’abbiamo vista. Sia l’esterno che l’interno della casa, corrispondono esattamente alle foto, andando anche oltre alle aspettative per come i proprietari si sono prodigati per far sentire gli ospiti a proprio agio. Ogni locale (una cucina completamente attrezzata, un ampio soggiorno, due camere da letto e il bagno) e’ arredato con gusto e cura dei dettagli rendendo piacevole la permanenza nella casa. Così Il giardino e la terrazza, immersi nella quiete e nel verde, che danno sulla valle e sul sito archeologico di Cava d’Ispica. In auto si raggiungono facilmente Modica, Scicli, Ragusa e la costa. Alberto e’ stato molto gentile efficiente nelle risposte e puntuale nell’accoglierci. Piccolo appuntino: Wi-Fi non e’ sempre stabile ma in vacanza va bene anche così .. Durante il nostro viaggio in Sicilia più volte abbiamo sentito la mancanza di questa casa. La consigliamo a occhi chiusi.

Grazie Mara, abbiamo avuto tanti ospiti, ma pochissimo sono stati come voi. Abbiamo creato un feeling che va oltre al semplice guest - host. Siamo rimasti veramente felici della vostra permanenza e ci auguriamo di potervi ospitare per tante altre volte. Rimaniamo in contatto e grazie di cuore Alberto, Laura , Marcello

Terrance on an archeological site

I found this home so charming! The owner has the house beautifully decorating, Lots of attention to details. Alberto could not of been nicer! He made sure that we knew where everything was and how to work it. We got lost coming back from the town, and Alberto came to rescue us and drove back to the house. I would definitely recommend this property. I can’t say enough about it. It is my favorite property that I have stayed in trekking through Sicily. Rent it, you won’t be sorry 😊

Wunderschönes, liebevoll ausgestattetes Haus in toller Umgebung

Das Ferienhaus ist ganz liebevoll eingerichtet und hervorragend ausgestattet. Es fehlt an nichts, selbst Abschminkpads, Sonnenschutz, Zahncreme usw. sind vorhanden. In der Küche findet man vieles vor - Kaffee, Tee, Gewürze, Olivenöl u.v.m. Als wir ankamen, wurden wir mit einer Obstschale, wunderbarem Gebäck von einer der besten Konditoreien Modicas, Getränken, Marmeladen und Zwieback empfangen. Für das erste Frühstück war alles vorhanden. Ganz besonders hervorzuheben ist auch die absolute Sauberkeit des Hauses, selbst in allen Ecken und Schränken. Nicht nur die Küche, auch das Wohnzimmer ist sehr groß. Und geradezu fantastisch sind die beiden Terrassen mit Ausblick in den archäologischen Park und das große, eingezäunte Grundstück überhaupt. Trotzdem können wir leider nur 4 Punkte geben: Erstens hört man den Straßenverkehr ziemlich laut, teilweise sogar die ganze Nacht über. Und zweitens ist die Dusche wirklich winzig, für etwas größere oder kräftigere Menschen gar nicht geeignet. Wen das nicht stört, der hat mit diesem Ferienhaus wirklich das große Los gezogen, zumal auch die Lage äußerst günstig ist, um den Südosten Sizilien zu erkunden.

ein wunderschönes Haus in toller Umgebung mit allem was das Urlaubsherz begehrt

Das war unsere schönste Unterkunft in unserem 2-wöchigem Sizilienurlaub: ein sehr schön renoviertes Cottage mit viel Platz rund herum: zwei Terrassen, ein großer Garten und ein Grill. Innen drin sehr liebevoll eingerichtet mit allem was man so braucht: großer Kühlschrank, kleiner Eisschrank, Gasherd, Elektro-Backofen, Waschmaschine, Fernseher; Am liebsten hätten wir die Tage einfach am Haus vertrödelt, aber es gibt sooo viel zu sehen in der Umgebung: wir waren 3 Nächte dort und das war viel zu kurz!

Location Fantastica- Terrific location

Siamo stati nella 'terrazza sul Parco Archeologico' per una settimana: permanenza indimenticabile. Casa bellissima, tenuta con grande amore, raffinata nei dettagli. Posizione incantevole. I dintorni indimenticabili, facilmente raggiungibili in tempi brevi: Modica, Noto, Scicli, Punta Secca.... Marcello e la moglie sono stati deliziosi. Consigliamo vivamente questa come soluzione di assoluto riposo e godimento, e allo stesso tempo, come punto strategico per visitare la zona. Aprile 2017, Giovanna e Franco We have been hosted by Marcello at this location, which is delighting for the position and for its structure. In a moment you will be one century later, in the Sicilian country, surrounded by fields, orchards, paleolithic tombs, the very famous Barocco towns of the Val di Noto, and a lot of peace. We strongly suggest this location: it is strategic for visiting the surroundings and to appreciate the beauty of the house in itself. It is very lovely, clean, very comfortable, and convenient, considering the space and the quality of the location. We spent very magic days there. Thank you to Marcello, who is very kind and supportive. April the 23th, 2017 Giovanna and Franco

A Little Gem

Beautiful property in its own extensive grounds. Great view towards the Cava d' Ispica, archeological park. Marcello and his family were very welcoming and the welcome pack provided for our arrival was excellent. Property is very clean, well maintained and well equipped. The only slight disappointment was the lack of a coffee percolator, which is very unusual in a Sicilian kitchen. Would certainly recommend the property which is well situated for visiting Ragusa, Scicli, Modica, and other towns further afield such as Noto and Siracusa. We would certainly stay there again if we were visiting the area.
