Travelling is an experience that gratifies all the senses. When you travel, you breathe in new scents, see previously ignored wonders, hear the melodies typical of a place. Think of the voice of fishermen on the beach, a day at a market, a walk in a forest. What we are going to do today will be an experience that will change you and make you love this town as much as I do.
Modica is a Baroque town where it is easy to be enchanted by the spectacular alternation of majestic buildings and the intricate maze of alleyways, and it is while wandering through its narrowest and oldest streets that I love to find the women sitting outside their doorways chatting while the creamy scent of coffee escapes from their houses. In the evenings, I love to touch the stones from which almost all the houses here are built and feel the warmth gathered during the day slowly release. I find the little fruit and vegetable shops irresistible, their wooden crates overflowing with colourful and fragrant goods.
A sightseeing tour is in order, and so, after strolling among the buildings carved out of the rock of the mountain on which it stands, we descend to the lower, historic part of town where, after a little shopping and lunch in a typical restaurant on Corso Umberto, we can go and visit our proposal for today.
It is a large and bright three-room apartment on the first floor of a house of two, habitable in excellent condition and with some furnishings already present.
The beautiful masonry kitchen will be at the centre of your days, after preparing a good breakfast you can enjoy it here while admiring the park below the house or the hills in the distance. The large terrace can take up some of your time if you are an expert in botany or can be the place to relax and read a good book.
The presence of three rooms is suitable if you have a large family or if you are a hospitable friend, certain is that here there will be no time to get bored or feel lonely.
The wonderful climate of the region will allow you to use the terrace and balconies most of the year whether you decide to move here or it will be your much desired holiday home.
The storeroom and cellar will allow you to store your provisions, while the garage on the property will ensure that you can return home with your bicycle, motorbike or car and have a safe place to keep them.
As I always say, take a good look at the pictures, they already give you an idea, but don’t hesitate to give us a call, only a visit can tell if we have found our home.
“Paths veiled by an eternal line: paving stones amid glimpses of historic passion; with late steps I find in my heart my unborn gaze That sweetly attracts me.” I thus leave you with a poem by Salvatore Quasimodo who described his splendid hometown a little sad like us who must now leave it.
