Giogaia B&B is located amidst the green hills of the Iblei, just outside the historic center of Modica, a baroque town recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site. The strategic position allows for a peaceful reach to the golden Mediterranean beaches, situated just a few kilometers away, providing a perfect balance between relaxation and culture.

The facility, characterized by a welcoming environment and a family atmosphere, is aimed at those seeking to discover the beauty of Sicilian tradition without giving up on fun. Guests can enjoy three dependencies with independent entrances and a reserved parking spot, ideal for ensuring privacy and tranquility during their stay.

The enthusiasm for travel and the curiosity to explore our wonderful peninsula, especially Sicily, inspire the hospitality of Giusy and Piero every day. Residents of “Collina del Mauto,” they feel lucky for the freshness of the ingredients that come directly from the garden, contributing to making every meal an experience rich in authentic flavors.

Breakfast is a special moment at Giogaia, a true feast of flavors that nourishes both body and soul. Guests can enjoy delicious jams, cakes, cookies, fresh bread, seasonal fruit, juicy orange juices, and the famous almond milk, all strictly homemade. The famous Cioccolata Modicana is also available, along with gluten-free options upon request, ensuring a lively and tasty start to the day for everyone.

The B&B's location allows for easy exploration of the area's wonders, with the historic center of Modica Alta just 2 km away, and Modica Bassa at 5 km. The proximity to the Ibleo coastline and iconic places from the Commissario Montalbano series, such as Scicli and Ragusa Ibla, allows for a complete immersion in the culture and tradition of Sicily. Also, the B&B is an excellent starting point for visiting splendid nature reserves and art cities like Noto, Val di Noto, Caltagirone, and Piazza Armerina, located 30 to 90 minutes by car.

Giogaia thus represents an oasis of tranquility, where guests can create unforgettable memories in one of the most fascinating regions of Italy.

Very nice and helpful hosts. The breakfast included homemade juices and jams, several types of croissants that were delicious. Good coffee. Nice terrace where we could sit and enjoy a drink. A fridge in the top floor where we could chill our own prosecco.

daniel

Spacious apartment, very comfortable, very clean, located on the outskirts of the city in a very pleasant suburban environment. Varied and abundant breakfast, with the possibility of having it on a magnificent outdoor terrace. The kindness of the owners is noteworthy. The location is perfect for visiting the baroque cities, but a car is essential.

Buonasera Sig. Daniel. La ringraziamo per il cortese commento. Cordialmente Giusy e Piero

We stayed in this beautiful property, isolated from the chaos of the city center of Modica, feeling at home.

Excellent hospitality, clean facility but slightly off the beaten path. Available and courteous managers. The only flaw is the lack of a fridge and TV in the room.

stefania

I stayed at this Giogaia B&B *** with my whole family at the end of June. The quality-price ratio is excellent and the owners (husband and wife) are friendly and very helpful in meeting the guests' needs. The breakfast is always plentiful and excellent, thanks to the delicacies prepared by Piero's wife. We highly recommend it.

liborio

Super positive experience for the kindness and friendliness of the owners Piero and Giusy, whom we thank once again. Very punctual breakfast, very varied and above all genuine, consumed on a terrace that can only be described as heavenly. Despite my wife's problem (celiac disease), even though we didn't warn them, they did everything to meet the needs (not insignificant for this condition) of her first breakfast. Highly recommended. We will gladly return.

stayed from 09/03/2021 to 09/05/2021

The answer from the host:
Gentilissimi, è stato veramente un piacere avervi ospitati, sopratutto perché siete delle persone simpatiche e cordialissime con cui è semplicisimo entrare in simbiosi. Alla prossima..

Stay practically perfect. Isolated and quiet location. Clean and tidy room. Extremely welcoming and helpful owners. The breakfast is really great! We will recommend it to our friends who want to visit Sicily.

federica

Giogaia is a great reference for those who want to visit Modica and surroundings (Scicli, Ibla, Porto Palo, Castello di Donnafugata, Syracuse, Punta Cirica, etc.). The rooms are comfortable and very clean. There is a lot of attention to respecting the health and hygiene regulations in this period of health emergency. The breakfasts under the pergola are legendary: excellent, abundant, with always different and homemade proposals. The managers Giusy and Piero are very helpful and attentive to every request.

stayed from 08/09/2020 to 08/13/2020

The answer from the host:
Gentilissimi, vi ringraziamo per il cortese commento e vi/ci auguriamo ad una prossima occasione. Ci complimentiamo con voi perché siete una bella famiglia. Un carezza virtuale a E. e S. Giusy e Piero.

renato

Structure located at the gates of the city of Modica, in a strategic position to visit the city itself and the surrounding areas (Scicli, Ragusa, Ispica, Donnalucata, Portopalo). The room we occupied, furnished in a simple way, is very spacious and quiet (overlooking the garden). The bathroom is also large and comfortable, with a good shower. The breakfast is abundant and rich in choices. We prefer sweet things and therefore we appreciated the juices (one day they prepared a fantastic fresh fruit smoothie for us), yogurt, homemade jams and sweets, artisan biscuits, milk coffee or cappuccino as desired. The owners are extremely friendly to the point of making you feel like family (it may sound like a cliché but in this case it is really so): they went out of their way to suggest places to go for dinner rather than the best organization of visits in the surroundings of Modica. Free Wi-Fi and convenient parking inside the courtyard. In summary, a structure where we would gladly return and feel confident in recommending it.

stayed from 12/28/2018 to 12/31/2018

giuseppe

Location not new but warm and welcoming. The owners are extremely polite, helpful, and friendly. The breakfast is superb with homemade cookies and jams. We will return and it will be our reference point in those areas.

amy

Mr. Piero and his wife Giusy were extremely kind and helpful before and during the stay! The Giogaia B&B *** is surrounded by greenery with a spectacular terrace. Here, unplugging from the everyday hustle and bustle is truly possible! The center of Modica is easily reachable in 20 minutes! Highly recommended.

stayed from 09/20/2017 to 09/21/2017

The answer from the host:
Gentilissima Amy, ti ringraziamo per il cortese commento. Alla prossima. Giusy e Piero by Giogaia B&B.

matteo

Even with effort, I can't find anything negative. Wonderful staff, location a few kilometers from Modica, internal parking, and abundant breakfast rich in typical products and/or homemade. Excellent value for money. Highly recommended.

stayed from 08/12/2017 to 08/15/2017

The answer from the host:
Grazie Matteo per il cortese commento.

giancarlo

Two breakfasts were enough to understand that Giusy and Piero are people you don't come across easily. We felt the mysterious feeling of knowing them forever, more like friends than hosts with whom even discussing personal matters feels natural. Thank you for the hospitality and friendliness.

stayed from 06/15/2016 to 06/17/2016

The answer from the host:
Gentilissimi, ci preme ringraziarvi per il cortese commento. Avete colto la natura che è insita in noi che è quella di entrare in sintonia con i nostri ospiti in modo da soddisfare il più possibile le loro necessità o aspettative. Con voi è stato naturale anche per "la naturale impressione di conoscervi da sempre". Grazie e arrivederci alla prossima. Giusy e Piero dalla Giogaia, Modica.
