Modica, jewel of Sicilian Baroque, crossroads of culture, today one of UNESCO’s World Heritage Sites and famous for its ancient recipe for chocolate, is picturesquely spread out over the two sides of a wide rocky gorge. To stay in Modica means rediscovering forgotten emotions, walking slowly through the cobbled lanes, going up and down the ancient steps, catching glimpses of fine nobles’ houses with elaborate stone and wrought iron balconies, hidden artisan workshops, picturesque views of churches and rooftops, secret gardens with grottoes and prickly pear plants.
Staying in Modica makes you experience the magic of southeast Sicily, with its delicate blend of history, nature and the sea, from the Baroque cities of Ragusa, Scicli and Noto, to Caltagirone and its famous the pottery articrafts, from the enchanting Greek ruins of Siracusa to the majestic Mt.Etna volcano, from the wild canyons of the Ispica, Cassibile and Pantalica valleys to the beautiful beaches of the Mediterranean sea
