Description

Giogaia is a pleasant "bed & breakfast" in Modica (Sicily), not far from the Mediterranean Sea. It is situated on a quiet hill five minutes’ drive from the centre of town.

We live in a lovely house among the trees. There is a garden round it, where you can find fruit-trees, flowers and vegetables. But there is something else: our love for privacy and family life. If you spend your holidays at Giogaia you are immediately conscious that the experience is something extraordinary.

Ours is a spacious, two storey house with two separate entrances, and two outbuildings. On one side of the house there is a garage, where you can park your car.

We can offer you five pleasant rooms. All our rooms are air-conditioned and heated. On the terrace or in the garden the guests can enjoy a few relaxing hours under the warm Sicilian sunshine.

Breakfast is served on the sunny balcony adjoining the attic or, if you prefer, in the large and welcoming lounge by the fireside.

The management is available for advice, information and entertainment to make your holiday in this part of Sicily unforgettable in every way.

Breakfast

Specialties of the House are those of the land of Sicily and of our hospitable city, the ancient Earldom of Modica: traditions and recipes that time couldn't cancel, and that today, in our Giogaia, become
the usual Savours that we offer to our guests.

We consider ourselves lucky because we live on the "Hillock of Mauto" and the fruits that render the table particularly tempting and rich in Flavours come from our own orchard and garden.

The most important moment of the day is breakfast, a feast of Savours that give to our guests the energy to start merrily their daily tour. Jams, cakes, biscuits, bread, fruit in season, orange squash, almond-milk - everything regularly home-made, as the famous "Modican Chocolate".

To equalize the conditions of sale to "booking.com" for the "double room 5" prices do not include breakfast.

Hey from Piero

Member since July 2003 | 80,808 hits

We love traveling and discovering the beauties of our peninsula and in particular Sicily. Our wanderings are made of small journeys and small discoveries. The bed and breakfast commits us enough so we take advantage of some short holiday or some weekends. From this wanderings are born also the suggestions that we love to give to our guests and, not only, to those who want Giusy can teach the secrets of the Modican gastronomy.

An invitation to visit us,
Giusy and Piero.

The structure is located in a very quiet area, but allows you to quickly reach the points of interest in the area. Quiet, clean, tidy environment, with everything you need. The owners are kind and helpful people. Congratulations on the excellent breakfast, always varied, rich in local products and homemade products.

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.

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.

whyn

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.

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.

Siamo stati ospiti per 10 giorni presso La Giogaia e siamo rimasti molto soddisfatti. La camera era molto spaziosa, confortevole e in ordine. Il bagno ampio e pulito. La colazione era sempre molto buona e varia. È stata molto piacevole la compagnia e la conversazione con Giusy e Piero. Anche il luogo è molto bello e base strategica per visitare questa parte della Sicilia.

stayed from 09/05/2018 to 09/15/2018

The answer from the host:
Gentile Tiziana, la ringraziamo per il gentile e cortese commento. Anche per noi è stato piacevole conoscervi ed ospitarvi.

giuseppe

Location non nuova ma calda ed accogliente. I proprietari educatissimi, disponibili, cordiali. La colazione super con biscotti e marmellate della casa. Da ritornare e sarà il nostro punto di riferimento in quelle zone.

Il signor Piero e sua moglie Giusy sono stati cordialissimi e disponibili prima e durante il soggiorno!Il B&B è immerso nel verde con una terrazza spettacolare. Qui staccare la spina dal trambusto di tutti i giorni è davvero possibile! Il centro di Modica è comunque facilmente raggiungibile in 20 minuti! Consigliatissimo!

Anche con impegno, non riesco a trovare nulla di negativo. Personale meraviglioso, posizione a pochi km da Modica, parcheggio interno e colazione abbondante e ricca di prodotti tipici e/o fatti in casa. Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo. Più che consigliata.

giancarlo

Sono state sufficienti due colazioni per capire che Giusy e Piero sono persone che non si possono incontrare facilmente. Abbiamo provato la misteriosa impressione di conoscerli da sempre, amici più che ospiti con i quali la confidenza anche di argomenti personali viene naturale. Grazie per l'accoglienza e la simpatia.

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.
