Hard to find, but here we are!
Tiki Beach!!! Right before all the hot kitesurfers showed up (shhhhh).
The main office. Can I have one too? (Some of the furniture was designed and restored by the owners.)
Highs & Lows
-
Very helpful staff. They picked us up halfway to get us through the tiny Sicilian alleyways and gave us the best tips on getting around + restaurant recommendations.
-
The overall design of the rooms and gardens (extreme attention to rustic and artistic details - cushions and lounge chairs overlooking the hills). It’s a romantic place, Sicily is for lovers…
-
The slow-living life philosophy. Just sit back and relax.
-
Outdoor breakfast in the garden.
-
No cold beverages at mini bar, although we really didn’t need them.
-
Difficult to find (make sure you have fun getting lost! It’s quite a beautiful sight).

Trendy zen yoga teacher meets Italian stud.

Location
Perfect. Sicily got hit by an earthquake in 1693 and the only part of the city that remained was this. Everything else in Modica has been rebuilt in a Baroque style, but up in the hills at Talia, the rustic, traditional element has remained. It’s on top of a hill overlooking the city, just a few hundred steps from the center of town.

Designed By
Marco Giunta e Viviana Haddad (a couple, both architects who live on site).
-
Health & Wellness
No pool (who needs a pool when you have pristine Mediterranean beaches?) no gym (don’t worry, you’ll get a workout climbing the stairs).
-
Restaurant
None on site.
-
Bar
No, but they’ll bring you champagne and wine upon request.
-
Minibar
People don’t really refrigerate things in Sicily. Try to buy ice and you’ll discover the answer to this mystery. The minibar in our room was an antique wooden cabinet stocked with sodas and warm beers. Tasty.
-
Children
Skip the children, this place is perfect for two.
-
Price
A bit punchy, but the view and garden make up for it.
