Ask a questionAbout Nick, Jane and Daniel
We are a family of three from the UK, who have spent numerous fabulous holidays travelling through Italy, and Sicily in particular. On one of our visits to Modica we saw Casa Niria advertised and decided to purchase this wonderful property, having been won over by the stunning view of Modica Bassa from the balcony. The house has been beautifully restored by a Canadian couple who originally bought it in 2013 and it benefits from many home comforts. We have become close friends with the property manager Giorgio and our children, being of similar ages, play together during our visits.
Nick, Jane and Daniel purchased this House in 2019
Why Nick, Jane and Daniel chose Modica
We purchased this property because of the panoramic view, central location and historical setting.The view from the terrace is spectacular. We also felt that being located within a beautiful enclosed courtyard added both privacy and security. We picked Modica because of the warm climate, and Modica felt like a real Sicilian town where people work and live.The town’s people are friendly and we felt we would be living in a safe environment, free to explore all the wonderful sites in and around the city. Modica is a place we can call home. Being centrally located it is an easy walk to shops restaurants and historical sights.
