"Terrace on the Archaeological Park"

Our rural cottage "" TERRAZZA SUL PARCO "" is surrounded by greenery among carob trees, almond and olive trees in the most important and beautiful part of the archaeological park of Cava Ispica in MODICA (RG).

It consists of a large kitchen in the early twentieth century style, living room with sofa bed and wood burning stove TV, attic with two bedrooms, one double and one double bed with a single service with bathroom, shower, washing machine. Outside a large terrace with barbecue, and breathtaking views to the wonderful and charming Archaeological Park of Cava Ispica where you can admire the magnificent prehistoric necropolis that beauty and rarity in this territory were hidden. In the courtyard adjacent to the building there is a local accessory called "CARRETTERIA" with the availability of 3 beds, bathroom, kitchen. The property is fenced by traditional dry stone walls of Ragusa and a gate, inside you can park more cars, campers or other. In that period, the house is all just for you. Nearby is a bar, a typical restaurant, a pizzeria and a traditional bakery. The house is found in a strategic position: 5 minutes from the historic baroque center of Modica, 10 minutes from the sea (Pozzallo or Marina di Modica) and from all the wonderful baroque town of Noto Valley, allowing a relaxing vacation, sun and sea culture .

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.
