Sicily hotels - Hotel Palazzo Failla, Modica

Hotel Palazzo Failla, Modica

This four-star hotel in Sicily is located at Modica, half an hour south of the provincial capital, Ragusa, and provides luxury and comfort in a splendid Baroque setting. This ornate 18th century style is typical of Syracuse province, Sicily's south-eastern corner. It's a fascinating region full of antiquities dating back to the Greeks, some splendid towns and the region is brighter and arguably more appealing than the volcanic area to the north. Plus, you can really get off the tourist trail down here. There was an earthquake here in 1693 and the towns were completely rebuilt, which is why all the buildings are in the Baroque style. It's handy here for Syracuse, where Neapolis is the most famous sight, the ancient Greek colony now laid out in an archaeological park. Ortygia, a little fist of land jutting out of Syracuse into the sea, packs 2700 years of history into a tiny area. Ragusa is a very pleasant provincial capital, Modica is a medieval town surrounded by dramatic and rugged scenery and Noto is a beautiful Baroque gem. The magnificent Greek ruins at Agrigento are a must.

The four-star Hotel Palazzo Failla boasts antique furniture, frescoed ceilings and elegant charm behind a typical Baroque facade. The restaurant is perfect as a place to sample Sicilian cuisine, including Modica chocolate. A typical deluxe room boasts cable TV, air-conditioning, shower, safe, modem, radio and minibar. The public areas are the height of elegance. Guests are pampered here with valet parking, an outdoor play area, a laundry service, beauty treatments including massage, shops and business facilities. A perfect place to enjoy a maximum of stylish comfort, this Sicily hotel offers you ideal access to the island's beautiful south coast with its unique heritage.
