"The driveway is a strip of 300 meters enclosed by stone walls. The backyard has scenes like an eighteenth-century farmhouse in the north and south the blue of the Mediterranean Sea which is 15 kilometers. Nearby Modica, do not talk of Ragusa, seems always to go up and be always surrounded and topped by a Hyblaean piece. Except here, the Pirato on the Provincial 42 Scicli, where you earn the horizon to see everything. The holiday here is perfect: on the one hand Modica, Scicli other; all the most beautiful sea of ​​Sicily south of Capo Passero; evenings always fresh; excursions continuous imagination of Montalbano. As a friendship symbolic place (you can not say in another way) with which they welcome and hospitality, John and his family might choose the small room that serves as atrium of the old farmhouse, where fodder, shade and cool water they were reserved for animals of travelers and occasional visitors. Because from them it is as well as at home: miraculously disappear and reappear exactly when needed. The only one who is always around you Leo, a Dalmatian so perfect that when for a moment do not see it, it is obvious that he went to touch up the dots. "

Ferienoase in Stadtnähe
Etwas außerhalb von Modica auf einem ehemaligen Bauernhof gibt es mehrere einzelne Ferienwohnungen. Wir bewohnten die Geräumigste mit großem, separaten Schlafzimmer und einem schönen neuen Bad mit großer Dusche. Das Wohnzimmer mit Küchenzeile war sehr bequem und hatte viel Charme. Die Eigentümerin Giovanna begrüßte uns sehr herzlich und wir lernten auch sofort den freundlichen Dalmatiner Leo kennen, der neugierig aber niemals aufdringlich war. Zu den vielen Einkaufsmöglichkeiten muss man zwar jedesmal ca. 2 km mit dem Auto fahren, Restaurants gibt es in Modica in großer Auswahl, da sollte für jeden Geschmack etwas zu finden sein. Wir haben uns auch oft Essen selbst zubereitet, der geräumige Kühl- und Gefrierschrank konnte einem Großeinkauf standhalten. Zum Badestrand sind es schon ein paar Kilometer mehr, aber im Spätherbst (Ende Oktober bis Ende November) kann man dort lange Spaziergänge an der menschenleeren Küste machen. Wir haben uns in der Ferienwohnung sehr wohl gefühlt und danken der Gastgeberin Giovanna und ihren Sohn für die ständige Hilfsbereitschaft. Einen Urlaub oder längeren Aufenthalt dort kann man nur empfehlen.

Tolle Unterkunft in schöner, ruhiger Lage.
Wir haben Anfang/Mitte Juni 2019 für 10 Tage hier Urlaub gemacht. Tolle Unterkunft in schöner, ruhiger Lage. Die Appartements und der kleine Garten mit Pool sind gepflegt und sauber. Die kleine Anlage wird von Giovannis Mutter Giovanna betreut und gepflegt. Liebevoll und sympathisch kümmert sie sich um die Urlaubsgäste. Sehr drollig ist auch ihr Hund „Leo“, ein Dalmatiner, der das Grundstück „bewacht“. Auch für Familien mit kleinen Kindern sehr gut geeignet.

Calme et baroque
Nous avons particulièrement apprécié l'accueil des propriétaires ainsi que les petites attentions préparées pour nous à base de produits locaux. La maison est agréable. Beaucoup de visites possible depuis ce lieu. Les plages sont à moins de 30 minutes et elles sont adaptées aux enfants en bas âge.
