Modica

Full of authentic Sicilian charm, the villa is close to the coast as well as the baroque towns of the Val di Noto

Modica is a delightful villa for ten in the Sicilian countryside, close to the coast and the beautiful baroque towns of the Val di Noto in the island’s southeastern corner.

Formerly an agricultural building, many of the original architectural details have been incorporated into the villa’s contemporary interior design. There are five air-conditioned bedrooms and four bathrooms. The living room, dining room and kitchen are open-plan and take up the entire width of the building.

Windows and doors are painted a jolly green. Step outside and there is a shaded terrace with a dining table and comfy seating area and, just in front, the fabulous pool contained within the walled garden.

Surrounded by olive trees and a peaceful silence this is the perfect Mediterranean retreat where guests can properly switch off. And yet, its strategic location allows for easy exploration of some of the loveliest beaches and towns that Italy has to offer.

Rooms description

Bedrooms

The villa sleeps ten across five air-conditioned rooms including four doubles and one twin. Characterful and comfortable, two of the doubles feature the farm’s original feeding troughs and there’s even a tethering ring still on the wall.

Bathrooms

There are four shower rooms.

Kitchen

The open-plan living space has exposed stone walls and a whitewashed wooden ceiling. The well-equipped kitchen sits at one end with a wooden farmhouse dining table and a sink in front of the window that looks straight onto the pool. There are double doors to the garden at the kitchen end and more in the middle of the room that give access to the outdoor dining area.

Living rooms

The living area is at the other end of the main room. Flooded with light from the end doors that lead to the cobble yard, there are enough comfy sofas and chairs for all guests, as well as a TV.

Other rooms

There is a separate utility room which can also be accessed from the garden.

Leisure & Activities

Activities

The breathtaking beaches of Sicily’s south-eastern corner are just a short drive away. Head to a lido if you like the convenience of a beachside restaurant, while the beaches inside the Vendicari Nature Reserve are wild and unspoilt and include Eloro, Pizzuta, Calamosche, San Lorenzo and, if you’d rather throw caution to the wind, as well as your clothes, Marianelli. For a round of golf, the 18-hole I Monasteri course is an hour away.

The Val di Noto has a long history of producing wines, in particular Nero d’Avola, a red, and its white counterpart, Moscato Bianco. Head for a vineyard and cellar tour, or a tasting at a winery, or if you’d rather skip straight to a glass try somewhere along Corso Vittoria Emmanuelle in Noto for the best people watching.

If archaeology is more your thing, you’re in for a treat. This corner of Italy is often thought to be more Greek than Greece itself: explore the Valle dei Templi in Agrigento with its beautiful Greek temples. For Roman mosaics, the Villa del Casale in Piazza Armerina is the place, and Donnafugata Castle, the Kamarina archeological site, Cava d’Ispica, Portopalo and Scala dei Turchi are all worth your while. Alternatively, you could climb Mount Etna.

Surroundings

The local landscape and baroque towns of the Val di Noto will be instantly recognisable to those familiar with the Montalbano stories, including Scicli (17km) on which the fictional Vigàta is based. Modica, the closest (7km), is known as the city of 100 churches and is famed for its chocolate production. Noto (37km), arguably one of the most charming spots in Italy, has a centro storico worthy of a film set. Go in the late afternoon when the 18th century sandstone walls glow ochre and the people-watching is at its best. You’ll also be wooed by its colourful interiors and fabulous array of restaurants that offer everything from pizzas to fine dining, all using beautiful, slow-grown local ingredients. Syracusa (72km) is of archaeological interest and is matched in its splendour by Ragusa (17km), while Ortigia (75km) is an island gem of pretty, medieval streets, heaving with history. Or head to Marzamemi (46km) where you’ll find a traditional fishing village with delightful restaurants.
