B&b Candido Vacanze

Good, but I was hoping there would be a parking spot.

“Amazing value, beautiful building in a fantastic location”

The photos don’t capture this B&B’s charm; the traditional blonde stone, decorative corbels, and shuttered doors make it beautiful. I stayed in a single on the ground floor that was spacious, bright, and airy, and could easily fit a double bed. I appreciated the old doors that let me in from the street, giving me my own access. Although it wasn’t ensuite, the bathroom was just through the wall and very private—I never saw anyone coming and going. The room and bathroom were immaculate; I even added a picture of Jesus that made me laugh because he looks like he used a face‑tuning app for a Tinder selfie (I’m Catholic, so no disrespect). The host deserves a shout‑out for being very accommodating when my drive to Modica took longer than expected, so I arrived after normal check‑in. She’s warm, friendly, and helpful. I loved the traditional kitchen guests could use, so having a fridge was great. The best part is the fantastic location, a stone’s throw from San Giovanni cathedral—my favorite spot, just sitting at the tables on the square at the foot of the cathedral steps. I’d highly recommend Bar Amore and the pizzeria on the square; the pizza is amazing. A few tiny matters: the air‑con cooled the room, but I liked it blasting cold air, especially since it was 36 °C. The mattress wasn’t amazing, but that’s a personal preference for soft or firm. The breakfast pics look like a buffet, but it’s actually just a drink—coffee or juice, some fruit (I got watermelon) and a pastry. For the price, I was happy. A small fridge in the bedroom would have been ideal; I had to put my cola in the communal fridge, only to find my last can gone. The host apologized and gave me a replacement right away, which I appreciated. Having your own fridge prevents that and the hesitation to go to the fridge in pajamas and not bump into another guest. These are the only significant issues/recommendations and didn’t affect my stay. The B&B is fantastic value for money. I hesitated booking it before and went somewhere twice the price. I decided to book it this time because of the location—I love Alta. I thought it would be like a hostel, but it’s not. It’s a beautiful traditional property that offers rooms at amazing value, clean and comfortable, and a fantastic location. If I owned the B&B, I’d add a double bed, a new bedside table and dressing table and chairs, change the bedding to crisp white sheets, and change £40 p/n that I’d happily pay. I liked it so much that I’ve booked to return.

“The best value for money accommodation in Modica Alta”

The building was gorgeous and the spot was unbeatable, and my room was bright, airy, and had a private entrance. The host was fantastic—accommodating, friendly, and welcoming. I would have liked a double bed, more space, and a fridge in the room, and if I’m being picky, I’d choose plain crisp white sheets.

The price was low for the period. The room faced the street directly. It was probably a former stable turned into a room, but it lacked proper comfort. We didn’t know how to open the window (it was actually a small flip‑up opening at the top of the door, 3 m from the ground). The worst was the lack of soundproofing. We woke up dozens of times during the night because of passing cars, people, and animals. The neighbor’s snoring and every single chat from the living room could be heard. It was a nightmare. The external bathroom was in poor condition: a broken siphon, broken doors (water everywhere and various tricks to wash). The breakfast could have been avoided… cold coffee taken in a paper cup from the bar next door (there was a moka pot but I don’t know why it wasn’t used), boxed juice, and everything served in plastic plates and forks (but why?).

“Pulizia e cortesia”

The structure was very clean, spacious, and welcoming. The breakfast was excellent.
