Variante S. S., 115 21/D, 97015 Modica RG, Italy

Incredible place, beautiful, super well designed and amazing atmosphere, also an incredible smell wherever you walk on the hotel.
the breakfast is super complete and also offers gluten free options.
They give you a towel every time you would like to access the pool.
Very well located if you want to be driving around the south of Sicily
They have a private parking so you car will always be safe.

This is a fantastic hotel with friendly helpful staff and modern rooms where everything works.  The breakfast and restaurant is great and parking is easy.  It’s located above the old town and about 4 klm away, but the location worked for us because it was quiet and easy for us to ride out bikes to the city.  I’d definitely stay here again.

The hotel was a total disappointment. Firstly location: right at a gas station and a traffic heavy street - right between two supermarkets. The staff was disengaged and at breakfast even unfriendly, making one feel bad for asking for coffee. Even though the rooms look nice, the bed was uncomfortable and the ac didn’t work. The sauna area has seen better days - should be renovated. We decided to check-out after 1 out of 3 nights, paid for a full stay and the receptionist was still trying to upcharge us for city tax and some food we didn’t have. An ultimate joke!

After visiting a few chocolate shops in Modica, this felt like the most authentic.

The staff is very friendly and patient, letting us try a wide variety of chocolates and other sweets. The chocolate had a very unique flavor and texture (sugary crunchy). Absolutely worth the wait.

We also had the liquid chocolate drink, which was good but a bit too much cacao after all the tastings.

Fabulous little shop! The staff there are super friendly and speak English! There are some free samples that you can try if you spend a couple minutes, or you can do a tour which is about 40 minutes but make sure you book at least 24 hours in advance. We didn’t so we weren’t able to do the tour. They make a really unique hot chocolate that’s pretty nice and the chocolate they sell is all super cool flavours and really nice!

Totally wonderful.  Friendly, considerate staff and a great selection of interesting and beautifully wrapped chocolates.  Tremendous value for money too.  Note that the chocolate from Modica is quite different to the normal stuff, it’s not been heated so has sugar crystals within it giving a grainy texture.  Tours of the chocolate making area are possible but really need to be booked the day before.

This town is incredible. You can’t believe how they built it.
Spectacular
Definitely worth seeing if you visit Sicily.
We came from Catania, around 1.5 hours driving

Duomo of Saint George is the local parish church of Modica Alta area. A stunning baroque building set on the hillside. With many steps to climb, it's worth it for the view especially at night. The twinkling lights make it look a scene from the bible. Take the winding road upwards to the Pizzo Belvedere outlook to enjoy the best view in town.

Like in Ragussa, I found most of the churches in the Val di Notto most impressive from the outside, but they're definitely still worth a look inside, Modica's is particularly impressive like a three tier wedding cake.

If you visit Modica - enter this impressive church. It's worth to see

One of my most memorable churches visited while in Sicily and probably the most easily accessible Modica church which is located on one of its main streets. This is another church which fits into a category in my mind of “hidden treasure chests”. Somewhat unassuming on its exterior, yet splendorous within. The altar is stunning and early evening was a superb time to see it!

Very nice place. Very calm...
Magnificent baroque church.
