Large villa with solar htd pool,tennis court,jacuzzi hot tub,playground for kids

Large impressive property. Needed for nothing. Georgio and his family are a pure delight

My family and I enjoyed a fantastic stay at George and Antonella’s beautiful home. This is not a typical vacation home, but an experience. The pool, the hot tub, the playground, and the farm animals all provided hours of entertainment for our kids and adults. The view over the valley is breathtaking, and we wish we could’ve stayed longer. We’d love to return someday.

We celebrated the New Year in this wonderful villa with friends and family (five families, including one couple in a separate room). The villa is spacious, perfect for a large group with kids aged (ours aged 9). Giorgio welcomed us with two delicious dishes, 10 liters of wine, and his own olive oil, which was fantastic! We’re already excited about the promised delivery of more oil and pasta, planning to recreate the villa’s charm during the Berlin winter with treats from a local patisserie.The kids loved the animals, especially the pony and donkey, and spent hours exploring the vast 4-hectare property, playing hide-and-seek. The tennis court and table tennis setup kept everyone active. The orange trees were a highlight, providing fresh juice every morning. Modica’s proximity made day trips easy, and the nearby beaches were also a treat.Although the pool wasn’t heated due to cold nights, we turned it into an ice bath, making the hot tub even more enjoyable. A temporary heating issue in the villa was quickly addressed by Giorgio, whose communication was warm and efficient.This villa offers comfort, charm, and excellent activities. It’s perfect for creating unforgettable memories. Highly recommended, and we look forward to returning!

We can’t imagine a more wonderful villa in Sicily for our visiting family of two grandparents, married son, his wife, and two children ages 5 and 8. The nearby owner and his family were terrific. It exceeded the description and our expectatiobs.

This villa is probably one of the best value properties you are likely to find anywhere in Italy! It has something for all ages from infants right up to grandparents. The outside space is amazing with a great size pool(the best we’ve ever had), wonderful hot tub and a terrace with fabulous views to Modica. We loved popping down to see the animals each day and the hearing the occasional bray of the donkey! The rooms inside are spacious and cool and are kitted out with everything you could possibly need. We cooked on the terrace, where there is a choice of gas or charcoal BBQ, and in the kitchen where there is enough crockery, cutlery, cookware for everyone including some durable for infants and young children. They really have thought of everything!!! And of course, as previous reviewers have said, there is Georgio!!! He really is a gem- the most helpful guy and also very informative, especially about all the requirements for Covid. It was very reassuring knowing he was on hand if we needed him. We had a fantastic holiday and would thoroughly recommend this villa to anyone who wants a homely villa with amazing outside amenities. We would love to return! Thanks for everything!

I am going to find it difficult to actually give George's house the justice it deserves - it is extremely special. My family and I have stayed in many houses in Portugal, Greece and Italy and this was the most impressive for sure. There are just so many great things about it.. Here are some highlights: The swimming pool - perfect size with lots of space for lounging, the gardens - beautiful plants and trees with wonderful fruits and vegetables to eat, the tennis court - very well kept and rackets and balls available, the farmyard - lots of cute animals for the kids and the beds - all very comfortable and rooms very nice. My personal favourite part of the house is the outdoor area for eating, equipped with a BBQ and a wonderful view of Modica - we had some great and late nights there! This house is fabulous for kids and adults alike. Now a word on Modica itself, because it is a fantastic town. This was our second trip there and I was shocked when I opened the Sicily Lonely Planet and saw Modica wasn't one of their '14 highlights of Sicily'. Big mistake guys. But you know what maybe that's a good thing because Modica may stay off the tourist trail! Modica is a foodie's dream. I have had the best pasta, pizza, ice cream and chocolate of my life there. The chocolate is incomparable to anything you will taste in Europe. We went to some wonderful restaurants and bars. We did the train tour of the town which was a big hit with the kids. We wandered the incredibly narrow streets of Modica Allta which is like somewhere stuck in time - in a very charming way. I highly recommend checking out Goccia cocktail bar where we had an amazing night! Finally a word for our hosts, George and Antonella. We have never felt so looked after. From the first moment to the last, they did everything they could to help us enjoy our stay. We arrived to a home cooked meal, they were always there for any questions we had and they gave us some great recommendations for things to do. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I feel like we were living a dream of some kind.

The property was amazingly clean and actually much more than we expected. There was more than enough space for 3 families and the heated pool and tenniscourt was used everyday of our stay at the end of October. The farmyard blew the kids away and they loved collecting fresh eggs in the morning and helping feed Zeus (the donkey), Snuggles the miniature goat and all the rabbits and birds. George was the best host we have ever had and was always available to sort anything out, give us advice and even took the time to be our personal Tourguide. His English is perfect, communication instant and love of Modica and Sicily infectious. Our stay was perfect. Whether the property itself, the amenities the closeness and access to all the beautiful towns around it or the seaside and best of all was our host, George. We cannot recommended Villa Modica enough and we will be back soon!

We booked a last minute trip to Sicily during the covid pandemic and the ever changing 'air bridge' quarantine advice from the UK government. I don't think anyone believed we would actually make it, but thankfully we did and it was exactly what we needed. Our entire experience was faultless, from George's very generous 100% refund policy if we has to cancel due to the pandemic, to the incredible welcome meal, drinks and grocery shop. The villa and grounds were stunning and the kids (aged 1-8) were all catered for superbly. From collecting eggs in the morning to an array of toddler friendly toys and cutlery - everything you could imagine needing has already been thought of and provided. I can't imagine we will ever have a holiday like this again, and it couldn't have come at a better time.

Without doubt the villa is the most family-friendly villa we have ever rented. There's many things which impressed us about our holiday. The villa was spotlessly clean when we arrived. The owners had done a shop for groceries which were ready for our arrival. They prepared a lovely Sicilian meal for us as some of our party were arriving late and also left us plenty of wine from their vineyard for our meal. The villa has plenty of toys and games and is equipped with everything you need for your stay. Unusually in my experience there's a large fridge freezer in the kitchen which was more than capable of chilling all our food. The pool is fenced which makes for a more relaxing time when you have little children with you. The pool is kept lovely and warm even in September which meant we spent lots of time in it. Our hosts live next door and were always on hand to help if we needed pizzas ordered or we wanted advice of where to eat. George was also kind enough to come and find us when our sat navs failed to get us to the villa. All in all we had a wonderful time and this was in no small part down to the owners and their lovely villa. Thanks from all of us

Villa Modica was an absolute treat from the moment we arrived. From all the goodies left for us by George and Nina to our last day when the children helped collect fresh eggs from the chickens. We had a wonderful week and thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Sicily. Our hosts couldn't have been more welcoming, while respecting our privacy at the same time. The space itself is a great size, especially with the pool, tennis courts and Zeus the donkey! I would highly recommend. Thanks George and Nina.
