Vico Muccio - historical house, finely restructured with a splendid view on the historical Baroque city of Modica

An incredible view on the historical center of Modica, the Baroque town in the south eastern part of Sicily declared World Heritage by Unesco for its Churches and beauties.

Vico Muccio is in a central position, a few minutes from the main cultural attractions, bars, shops and local restaurants. The house is nicely located in a silent alley of the old town with plenty of light.

The house has recently been restructured with local raw materials and by maintaining the local building traditions. This has made it comfortable and practical, with a well equipped kitchen that opens up on a delightful terrace, a bedroom and a spacious and warm living room where the sofa and armchair can become beds.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

"Well appointed, spotless apartment with spectacular views from windows and terrace balconies. Enjoyed dining on balcony as dusk settled over heritage listed city. Friendly email conversations with Federica and warm welcome and introduction to the apartment from Enza made us feel at home immediately.

Our stay in Modica

We were met by Enza who brought us to the apartment and had prepared everything. She even had prepared some local treats. We enjoyed the beautiful apartment in the old part of Modica. It was clean, very comfortable and equipped with everything we needed. The two beautiful balconies allowed for a spectacular view of the old city. We felt very much at home. We strongly recommend it and hope to return. Thank you!

Lovely house in Modica centre

Lovely house in the centre of Modica. Equiped with alle you need. Great view from the terrace. Walking distance to shops and restaurants. House lies in quiet street. Becuase the house lies somewhat higher than the street, some stairs are to be walked up. Even though it is quite busy on the streets, we could find a free parking place every day. Modica is also a great starting point for trips. e.g. Ragusa, Noto, Donnafugata.

Great apartment for staying in Modica.

We had a wonderful stay in Modica. The apartment was beautiful, spacious,well set up and secure. The location was close to everything with fantastic views of the old town from the windows and balconies. Enza who met us and showed us to the apartment was very helpful and even helped with arranging transport to the airport. Communication with the owner was excellent. Highly recommend !!

Incredible Views in a Historical Apartment

Views from the terraces and even from our bedroom window are stunning in this cosy, but spacious apartment. From the bedroom, even as we lie in bed, we could see the huge mountaintop clock tower that overlooks Modica. The second terrance is perfect for having a meal with a view.The apartment itself is simply but functionally furnished, and is well located for exploring the town. It is wonderful to have the opportunity to stay in an UNESCO World Heritage site and the apartment is a full of panoramic views from nearly every window. The parking situation and also taking your luggage up the stairs is a bit of a challenge but it is worth the effort for the views and it is a great value for the area.

Charming and well-presented

A great apartment in with lovely views over the rooftops of Modica and two great terraces to sit out on. Clean and well-presented with everything you might need.The owner Federica and the lady who welcomed us , Enza, were both extremely helpful. Modica has plenty of good places to eat and shops and amenities are all close to hand. Parking gets tricky in the busy part of the day but we found that if we parked further out of the centre on Via Maria Tedeschi and walked back we could get a space for the day. The town is perfectly positioned for visits to the other baroque towns nearby like Ragusa and Noto. Sampieri beach is a short drive away but there are many other beaches nearby too. We caught the train one day to Syracuse which proved to be a good way of visiting the city. The train takes ages though so only if you have time, get up very early and are in absolutely in no rush! The apartment is up several flights of stone steps (as are most in these towns ) but that would make it very difficult to access for anyone with walking difficulties and you have to be able to carry shopping and luggage yourselves so check that out with Federica if you have any doubts. Don't miss eating loads of ice cream, granite and the fabulous pastries - worry about your diet another day!

Ferienwohnung Modica Vico Muccio 4

Wir haben uns in dieser Ferienwohnung sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Lage und die Aussicht ist wunderschön (2 Balkone!). Die Ausstattung der Ferienwohnung ist perfekt. Die Kommunikation der Buchung mit der Vermieterin Federica und die Betreuung vor Ort durch Enza hat außerordentlich gut funktioniert. Beide sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir können diese Wohnung nur empfehlen. Wir kommen wieder!!! Tina und Kolmar

Vivere nella bellezza

L'appartamento è centrale ma silenzioso, pulito, accessoriato, arredato con gusto e ristrutturato intelligentemente nel rispetto dei materiali locali; ha due splendidi terrazzini vivibili affacciati sui tetti di Modica. Tutto contribuisce ad apprezzare la bellezza e la particolarità della città allontanandosi dai ritmi frenetici e superficiali, non ultimi i libri (anche per bambini) e i CD musicali che sono in dotazione alla casa. La proprietaria, sig.ra Federica, è stata prodiga di informazioni e la sig.ra Enza, che ci ha accolto a Modica, è stata premurosa, paziente e 'dolcissima'. Grazie per averci dato una settimana così speciale.

On a particulièrement aimé le plan de travail de la cuisine, très spacieux. Lit relativement haut perché (sans doute pour mieux apprécier la vue).
