Villa Sara, an air-conditioned veranda overlooking the sea.
About this villa rental
Nestled in Marina di Modica, this lovely villa for $223 per night is a great option for your next break. A place of sea, sun and nature to 300 m from the town square and promenade views. But the almost unique advantage of the house is the large and air-conditioned veranda (40 sqm) facing south with sea views and enclosed on three sides with large sliding windows, ideal for enjoying the sea and the sun all day in any weather and at any season, "shade in the summer, the winter sun." It is not the usual roof open and exposed to the wind and the cold of winter: for this is also available in monthly rent to retired couples who want to escape the rigors of the northern regions, however, the whole house is air-conditioned for hot and cold. Veranda of 40 square meters on the back (closed grate) with washing machine, sink, chest, wardrobe, mirror and barbecue: comfortable place for bikes and scooters. Water system with water pressure and hot water immediately and without limits by gas water heater, there is also a cistern as a water reserve. Outdoor shower with hot water. Adults and children can swim in the sea in front of the house (low rocky beach) or in two sandy beaches are to the east and west, about 800 m. Vineyard and fruit trees (lemons, mulberries, figs, etc.) create a simple and bucolic, but in contact with the sea. The sum of money indicated in the price quotation includes everything ,except electricity: € 0.40 / Kw, to pay at the end of the stay.

The house is better than the photos portray. It is quiet, feels almost rural, and is within an easy walk to the town square. The garden looks out over the sea across a mini vineyard and beautiful tropical plants. We spent so much time in the southern 'conservatory' where we could enjoy the view and stay cool - even though it was early September when we were there.
Giorgio, the host, was really friendly and responsive to any questions or needs whilst we were there. He left us an amazing welcome food pack including pasta, sauces, cheese, pastries, and bottled water.
We were able to relax and soak up the sunshine, swim in the sea at the end of the garden, in addition to taking trips out across the South East of Sicily to see local towns and eat far too much fantastic food.
We hope to be back again next year and would recommend Villa Sara to anyone who wants a relaxing holiday.

Villa Sara is a wonderfully positioned holiday home - right by the stunning coasline of South East Sicily. The property is really clean and comfortable and Giorgio communicates really well.He is very proud of fresh Sicilian food and generously provided us with supplies and treats that lasted all week. There is a local store nearby and a supermarket 3km away.
We made use of the cycles and Giorgio provided helmets for us. There are several cycle routes in the area.
We spent 8 days at Villa Sara and another 4 days at a guest house in Noto. We explored the stunning baroque towns, nature reserves (lots of flamingos) and the wonderful gorges inland. The spring weather was excellent for walking. There is lots of helpful information in the accomodation and Giorgio lives nearby so is easily able to deal with any issues that arise.
Thank you for your hospitality.

We stayed at Sara Villa for 11 nights and cannot complain about anything.
The accommodation is located less than 50 meters away from the sea, so that you can hear the waves day and night which was very relaxing. The apartment was very clean and contained everything we needed to cook and grill.
Every room has air conditioning which is a great feature to get a restful sleep.
The beaches are 10mins away walking distance, with a car you can reach several beautiful cities in less than 30 minutes.
Giorgio was a fantastic host and very kind. He welcomed us with a fridge full of Sicilian delicacies, including homemade red wine and marmalade.
This vacation was perfect and we would definitely go there again.
Thank you Giorgio for the great time we had!

My husband and I recently stayed in Villa Sara for eight nights. It was like going to stay in the seaside holiday home of your favourite uncle, where everything had been thought of to ensure you had a wonderful stay.
Giorgio, our host, is the most delightful and kind gentleman. As previous reviewers have noted, Giorgio stocked the house with home made goodies and local specialities, all of which were delicious and lasted our entire stay! He also met us in Modica and very kindly took us to a local food market and explained what everything was, followed by a whistle stop tour of Modica’s baroque highlights. He couldn’t have been more generous with his time.
The house itself is situated right on a quiet rocky beach, which is fine for swimming from, but bring swimming shoes of some sort. ‘Holes’ have been made in the rocks to put beach umbrellas in, enabling quite day’s hanging out by the house.
If you turn left or right out of the house, within 5 minutes in either direction you are at long, fine sand beaches. These were practically empty when we were there.
Marina di Modica (the turn left five minutes walk option) has everything you need with a few restaurants, gelataria, coffee stops, a couple of bars and a small supermarket. A larger supermarket is a five minute drive away.
The house is also the perfect base for exploring Sicily’s baroque heritage with Modica, Ragusa, Noto and Syracusa all within easy reach.
We had a very comfortable and peaceful holiday and highly recommend both Giorgio and his lovely house by the sea.

Giorgio was a brilliant host. The welcome pack was out of this world and he went out of his way to make us feel welcome. The house is in a stunning location and just a short walk to beautiful sandy beaches, restaurants and local bars. We enjoyed the countryside on the bikes - the dedicated cycle paths make cycling so much safer and fun. We even discovered we were only 5mins from the brickwork featured in Montalbalno! Would thoroughly recommend. Thank you Giorgio 👍

Exzellent equiped, calm flat, fantastic view over the flower and wine garden on the sea, very clear and clean sea water, short way to local beaches. We arrived finding a fridge or the kitchen full of the necessary food for the next days. And full of sicilian specialities. Thank you Giorgio for this and your kindliness. You showed us Modica and the great agrotouristic restaurant we visited later.

A very nice house with a very serviceminded owner who did what he could to ensure a excellent stay. The Family had a great week in a nice house with all the needed facilities. Direct view of the ocean with a rocky shore made for excursions. Sandy beaches near by and everything super fine. We can reccomend this for everyone looking for a piece of quiet and excellent sourroundings. Great to wake up and look directly at the sea!

We were here for 2 weeks, it was a lovely base for looking around the southeastern corner of Sicily. We loved the view and sound of the sea from the house and the swimming was fabulous
Giorgio was an excellent host, he provided a lot of fresh, local foods for us, we didn’t need to shop for a couple of days, and he was on hand if there were any problems - there weren’t any.
The house was immaculate, so comfortable and it had everything we needed, it really was better than the photos so you will not be disappointed
We would definitely go back, we really had the best holiday in this home
Thank you Giorgio

We had an unforgettable stay in Giorgio's very well equipped house: a tranquil oasis by the sea.We loved relaxing on the great veranda or little terrace with the beautiful sea view and the sound of the breaking waves. Everything has been said by former guests, we only have superlatives. The area is beautiful. We strolled along the roads to the famous baroque towns and along fields coloured by many spring flowers. Everywhere we met kind and helpful locals.
But the crown of it all was the great generosity and hospitality from Giorgio. Welcoming us late in the evening with lots of tasteful local products:wine, fruits, dolcis, focaccia, cheese etc.
On a Saturday he and his son brought us to a farmers market in Monica where we bought more local quality products, straight from the producers. Afterwards we made a small tour to a panorama spot, some food shops and a fantastic Gelateria.
Giorgio: the best host we ever had.

The villa is ideally situated to relax by the sea and to explore SE Sicily. There is plenty of room for a couple or a family of four. Giorgio is the most exceptional host; he not only wants you to enjoy your stay by the sea but he is very keen for you to experience the best food that Sicily offers. I have never seen a 'welcome pack' like it! A vast array of fruit, vegetables, local delicacies, oil, vinegar, cheeses and wine - we really struggled to eat it all during our week. The highlights were Giorgio's home made orange jam and local Modica chocolate. The villa is set up with everything you could ask for and is 5 minutes walk from the beach in Marina di Modica and 15 minutes walk from the superb Sampieri beach. Bicycles are included in the let. Our days out included Modica, Ragusa Ilba, Noto and Siracusa - the roads are not perfect nor is the driving of the locals but these places are all worth a visit.

We had a truly fabulous holiday in Georgio's villa. His hospitality and generosity are boundless. The house is equipped with everything you could ever possibly need. He is a truly amazing host providing not only local produce but his own home grown lemons, olive oil and wine.
The villa is in a very beatiful location. Right on the sea front yet a short stroll into the village along the promenade. The surrounding towns and village range from beatiful costal resorts to stunning architecture. All the locals are as hospitable as Georgio. We had an amazing holiday and it was so much more than we had expected. We have already booked to come back again next year.

We can only agree wholeheartedly with the previous visitors' comments. There was lots of food left for us - fresh and dried. The counter was covered with choice fruit, olives etc. Georgio was a very hospitable host. The house was well appointed and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. There was a lovely view of the sea and a cool comfortable verandah. We highly recommend this villa. Thank you Georgio for a wonderful stay

Giorgio welcomed us with the best stocked house we have ever visited: his own wine and olive oil, pastries, fresh fruit and vegetables (the Sicilian tomatoes are delicious), pasta, chocolate ... Every kitchen press he opened held another surprise. Thank you, Giorgio. The house itself is equipped with everything you need, and, just as shown in the photos, there are beautiful views of the Giorgio's small vineyard overlooking the sea from the front sun room. Temperatures were in the low 30s when we visited, but the house was comfortably cool, with air conditioning in all of the bedrooms. Location is perfect: Marina di Modica about 10 mins walk away on one side and the exceptional beach of Sampieri about 20 mins by foot on the other. We travelled mostly on the bikes Giorgio had kindly provided for our family of 5 ... 2 bikes gratis, and the other 3 for a very nominal fee. All in all, a fantastic rental, and we would definitely visit again. Gracie, Giorgio!Brendan and family (Ireland)

Giorgio is a generous, welcoming and helpful host. The villa is the best stocked holiday accommodation we have ever stayed in. Giorgio not only provides food and drink but also kitchen supplies, cleaning supplies, bathroom supplies and even suntan lotion. The villa is also well equipped. It is conveniently located for visiting the lovely baroque towns in the area. At the same time it is a pleasure to sit in the verandah and enjoy the sights and sound of the sea. We will definitely return and would recommend the villa to anyone who wants to experience this delightful part of Sicily.
