This apartment is perfect for travelers who are looking for a charming and clean two bedroom residence on an atmospheric street in Modica Alta. The views from the balconies are stunning, looking out over the streets and churches below. The apartment is on two levels with one bedroom and bathroom upstairs so stairs must not be a problem for you. The charming streets around the apartment are paved with ancient stones so rolling your suitcases there is a bit of a challange as parking spots are on the street 300 yards away. It is well worth it to stay in this wonderful place and immerse yourself in the Modica Alta experience of daily living, complete with Modica chocolate, church exploring and wonderful dinners out in the old town. Amalia, the manager, will meet you at arrival and help you get set up in the aprtment with a very thorough orientation. She is very helpful and responsive and we loved working with her as we did with Luca, the owner. Modica Alta is located so that you can take day trips to Ortygia, the Villa Romana and Morgantina and Cava d'Iispica which are all beautiful destinations. Parking is on city streets anywhere you can find it. The only glitch that we had was that the Wifi was not working all the time in the apartment, which Amalia and Luca assisted us with promptly. I highly recommend this property. Its location in Modica Alta is very desirable and the people of the town will make your stay memorable. I hope to come back someday to enjoy more of Sicily and Modica Alta!

We have rented flats and homes in Italy for decades but Anima a Sud was by far the best yet. Luca is a warm & gracious host, and Amalia was incredibly helpful in getting us settled and well-oriented to the area. She even took us shopping for groceries upon our arrival! Anima a Sud is inspired with Luca's fresh & innovative art that he has crafted (beautiful!!), and with his interesting architectural features. The views are wonderful, the beds are cozy, the bathrooms and kitchen are well-equipped, and the balcony & terrace are perfect for lounging, eating, and toasting wine to the surrounding beauty. The strolls through town enable you to capture the essence of this beautiful town, get to all the best restaurants - far too many for you to be able to get to in only one stay! - and meet the locals along the way. You could stay weeks and never really have to leave Modica...and coudl spend days just settled into Anima a Sud, and appreciate the views and comfort - without leaving home. We will return again and again - to soak up the charm & beauty of Modica, and to be comforted & inspired again by Anima a Sud. Grazie Tanto, Caro Luca!

We loved our stay at AnimeaSud, the people were great to work with and the property was very clean and look just like the pictures. It is set in the middle of the town. You need to drive or walk up the mountain or go down the mountain for dinning, shopps etc. You need to bring walking shoes as there are alot of steps, narrow streets and hills. We had some very pretty sunny days and some not so pretty. When the fog rolls in you are in a giant cloud. It was so different from home that now that we have returned it's like we were back in time. Luca the owner was a joy to work with as well as our greeter Ameila. All in all we have a very nice time. We shared the house with another couple and it work out great with bathrooms on each floor. The beds were great, which is a big plus when traveling outside of the US. You must be able to get around on your two feet. We had a large car being that we were 4 adults with 6 bags. Our car could not get down alot of the narrow streets, parking is also an issue so when you get a space you don't want to lose it. So keep that in mind.

Estuvimos 5 noches en este fantástico apartamento. Vistas incomparables, un pueblo (Modica) encantador y lleno de vida y de historia, anfitriones (Luca y Amalia) inmejorables, y un apartamento duplex con todas las comodidades posibles pero sobre todo un estilo y un gusto exquisito. Luca respondió amable y rápidamente todos nuestros correos, así como nuestras llamadas telefónicas, al igual que Amalia, que nos esperó durante mucho tiempo por problemas con el tráfico. La comunicación con ellos fue siempre como con 2 amigos. Amalia, pese a lo tarde de la hora en que llegamos, nos explicó todo con detenimiento: tanto la casa como el lugar, nos reservó sitio para cenar esa misma noche, e incluso nos llevó al sitio en su coche. Hemos viajado por toda Europa a apartamentos estupendos con anfitriones encantadores pero Luca y Amalia superaron enormemente nuestras expectativas. Es imposible realmente, prestar tanta atención y cuidado a los huéspedes. Incluso nos enviaron un mensaje al día siguiente para preguntar si todo estaba bien y habíamos dormido bien. La casa es espectacular: su posición (en el centro de Modica, y con una vista genial) y su decoración. La terraza de arriba fue particularmente útil para nosotros: era diciembre pero pudimos desayunar al sol en ella todas las mañanas! No tuvimos tiempo de disfrutar la sala de lectura encantadora del piso de arriba. Coincidimos con el festival Chocobarocco, que es muy recomendable por la fiesta que hay en la calle y la animación que da a la ciudad (donde todo el mundo fue encantador con nosotros). En suma, es imposible encontrar un lugar mejor para alojarse en Modica, en una zona de Sicilia tranquila (menos por la forma de conducir de los sicilianos!) y muy recomendable de Sicilia. GRAZIE MILLE, Luca e Amalia! Haceis que las vacaciones de vuestros huéspedes sean realmente especiales. (Y suerte con vuestro próximo proyecto en Modica, esperamos poder visitarlo algún día).

We stayed 2 weeks in August and totally loved it. As the others say, it's a gorgeous, beautifully renovated old stone house full of the owners wonderful art - and the most amazing views you can imagine. The house is very comfortable and ideal for a couple, two couples or parents and kids. So many wonderful places to visit nearby, but we were especially happy staying in Modica - good restaurants, shopping, atmosphere etc. We cooked at home every night, which was great. It's an excellent value and very well run - Amalia who greets you and takes care of everything is delightful and anything needed is done. Definitely have a car. You can either walk down and up "into town" or drive down - parking is always pretty easy. Can't recommend this place enough!!!

We loved every moment of our stay at Anime a Sud from the moment Amalia had to find us to take us to the apartment as we were lost (thanks to GPS) to when we were then greeted with a bottle of wine. Chocolates and biscuits from Modica. Amalia showed us all around the apartment which is beautiful. Just like the photos on the web site .We loved Luca's art work and his flare for decorating. The view from the roof top terrace was amazing.especially at night. She also advised us of what towns to visit like Ragusa, Scicli and Siracusa. We still loved Modica the best. The restaurant in Modica alto not far from the apartment had good food and very friendly helpful owner .If you walk down to main street to restaurants in Modica be prepared for a long walk back up stairs and alleys to apartment although there is one that will drive you back.We would recommend this place to anyone. It is especially good for two couples traveling together as we were. A car is essential . There is public car park not to far from apartment .
