Few cities in Sicily wear their Baroque heritage as proudly as Modica, and this apartment sits right in the thick of it. You'll find it tucked inside an elegant historic palazzo in the heart of the UNESCO-listed centre. Indoors, original tile floors and painted friezes nod to the building's history, while the interiors feel fresh and contemporary. Upstairs, a roof terrace offers city views, with the chime of the cathedral's twin bell towers providing the soundtrack. It's the kind of base that makes exploring effortless, with Modica's landmarks, streets and squares all within easy walking distance.
