Reviews of B&B Il Giardino Dei Mandarini

Giulia and her father are two amazing hosts. They know the territory very well and can give excellent recommendations. Always ready to help you when you need and let you try local food in their beautiful garden. Thank you again!

The pillows were a bit hard but we had 4 in the room and could change them for softer ones.

We had the best experience. The host was very nice and welcoming and her dad was the sweetest man who served us amazing tomatoes from the garden and served a great espresso. Overall a very lovely place to stay.

We booked this last minute without much thought, but from the moment we arrived, we knew we’d made the right choice. Giulia greeted us so warmly and was immediately helpful in every way. Our room was perfect, with a charming little balcony overlooking the family garden, such a peaceful view. We felt instantly at home. And then came breakfast the next morning... My god. We were welcomed by Giorgio, Giulia’s father, who brought out trays of fresh, beautiful food, tomatoes picked straight from the garden, homemade desserts, marmalade… it was honestly a bite of paradise. Sitting in that garden each morning was something truly special and became one of the highlights of our trip. I also want to say that I fell ill on our second day and had to stay in bed. When Giorgio heard, he quietly began picking ingredients from his garden to make herbal teas and brought only food he thought would help me feel better. Such a kind, thoughtful man, his care was genuine and deeply appreciated. If you're visiting Modica, I honestly can’t recommend this place enough. Staying here will only enrich your experience.

Beautiful city, very good location, parents of Gulio were amazing even though they don't speak English, they were incredibly welcoming. Breakfast was perfect - locally made.

The room is a little old but very nice and fits the atmosphere of the whole town ✨

Staying in this house was truly one of the most beautiful experiences we’ve had during our travels. The house itself is charming, the garden is divine, and the owner and his daughter—who lovingly maintain the property and run the business as a family—left us speechless with their kindness. From the delicious breakfasts served each morning in the garden to their warm advice on what to visit, and even the relaxed, friendly conversations, we felt as though we had lived there our whole lives. Modica is an incredibly beautiful town, and its people are wonderful—but above all, it was our stay in this house that touched us most deeply. We wish to sincerely thank Giulia and her esteemed father for their wholehearted hospitality, and we truly hope to return one day and enjoy their home again in the same spirit, a place that radiates warmth and a true sense of home. With all our best wishes and warmest regards.

Very pleasant place, kind owner. Good breakfast. Well equipped kichen. Nice garden. Room and bed clean and comfortable.

Hard walk to reach the house. If arrive by car, you can park in the street free.

Everythings went fine

Lovely big room with a large balcony and views over the garden and hillside beyond Modica. Absolutely stunning garden full of orange trees, ferns and flowering plants with an amazing aroma - particularly good late April/early May. Julia was very friendly and helpful and prepared a lovely (and very substantial) breakfast with homemade mandarin jams, fruit, omlette and pastries. Parking was fine on roads nearby. The nearby local wine bar was great for dinner and drinks.

Beautiful, large rooms; lush, green fruit filled garden. Location is in a quiet neighborhood not far from downtown. Guilia and Georgio are wonderful hosts - so helpful and warm. The breakfasts were incredible. Would stay here again and highly recommend their lovely lodgings.

Simple accommodation in the heart of Modica with a wonderful breakfast in the adjoining garden. Clean, spacious room which was great value for money.

Bed was not the most comfortable but not a huge issue

Giulia was very kind and helpful! Thank you, we enjoyed our stay in Modica.

Our stay at "Il Giardino dei Mandarini" was great! The host Giulia takes care of everything with dedication and passion, she was very helpful in accommodating our needs and provided some great recommendations to enjoy our time in Modica. Our room was very spacious and had a great view on their beautiful garden and the valley. The entire property was spotless clean and we really appreciated having access to shared kitchen facilities (and even a piano to play!). The only thing to keep in mind is that the B&B is located in the upper part of Modica. This wasn't an issue at all for us as we had a car and Giulia was helping other guests with their transport arrangements too.

Lovely little place with a garden with mandarins. Very hospitable hosts and fantastic view just outside the room. The breakfast was great with some homemade and local ingredients

Beautiful old building. Such friendly and hospitable people. Great breakfast in a large beautiful old vaulted white stone kitchen opening on to a gorgeous old garden. Hand squeezed mandarin juice included.

For older guests like me, it’s a steep walk up from the centre of the town involving many steps. Theres a local bus on the hour.

Beautiful building, large rooms, good bathrooms, fantastic breakfast, lovely staff.

I had a great time in Modica. Guilia and her father were lovely hosts. Great B&B in a really good location.

Service and attitude of the owners was great. The breakfast was great.

I absolutely loved our host, the garden was superb and a great place for breakfast. our common area was adequate for playing games as long as. it was early (other guest rooms in area). We walked to the market for snacks which was a workout but was funny! I would definitely stay there again

the bed was a little to hard for me and so was the pillow but everyone had their own preference.

Rustic Sicilian feel, Julia and her father very kind and smiling and the highlight was the breakfast!!❤️

AC!

Everything in the b&b was convenient, including to park safely the car. The breakfast in the little garden is amazing and the homemade lemon granita delicious!
