The three residential floors of the building, connected by an internal staircase, have independent entrances and services, so it is possible to experience the "PALAZZO DEGLI OLIVI" both as a single residence, full of air and light, with 7 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, five balconies and two large terraces. Both as five independent units (for two, three, five, four and two more respectively).

The restoration was conservative and ecological: all floors and walls are in Modica stone and all rooms have ceiling fan blades to allow natural and healthy cooling, limiting the use of air conditioners, also present.

A lovely comfortable rental
A lovely comfortable rental
Communication with the owner, Rudia was very easy. The thorough directions for arrival were clear and easily followed. We found the apartment to be just as lovely as the photos show, the bed very comfortable ( unlike the often found very hard ones) and the terrace was so wonderful for relaxing on. The location of this rental could not be better as it is just a few steps from the Corso Umberto, the main street through the lower portion of town which is much easier for walking around as compared to Modica Alta (up on the steep slope). Everything you could want is within a five minute walk and do not miss eating at one of Rudia’s recommendations, Putia ru Vino which is a very short walk away and serves delicious Sicilian cuisine at reasonable prices. There is a cafe just about across the Corso when you walk down from the apartment that has the best Illy coffee and light flakey coronetti. I do not remember the name but you will see the Illy coffee on a sign. You will not regret renting this apartment as it is very special!

Die Wohnung ist sehr, sehr schön. Alles ist stimmig und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Wir haben den Aufenthalt in so zentraler, aber dennoch ruhiger Lage sehr genossen. Die Ausstattung ist gut - einzig etwas mehr Besteck wäre nicht schlecht. Einen Staubsauger haben wir auch ein wenig vermisst, aber es gab Besen und Kehrblech. Die freundliche Begrüßung und der Empfang mit bereitgestelltem Obstkorb, Schokolade und gekühltem Wasser waren wirklich sehr nett. Diese sehr gepflegte, saubere schöne Wohnung können wir nur wärmstens weiter empfehlen.

Up a narrow alley inviting exploration, this apartment was our base for a week over Christmas 2017. Comfortable, light, and with the necessary accessories for a relaxed stay, the property helped us relax, and helped us get out into Modica with ease. It is centrally located, near terrific restaurants and cafes, small groceries, and a cheese shop just around the corner. Chocolate lovers will appreciate the fact of being a 3-minute walk to the Ciok Cafe for delectable flavors.Modica was a good base for day trips to the Donnafugata Castle, to Ragusa Ibla and Noto, and to the coast. We stayed in the off-season when the crowds were minimal, and we sure enjoyed the space and lower energy, while still feeling welcome. The property owner and manager were both quite helpful with tips and communication, and we greatly appreciated the hospitality. We'd absolutely stay here again!
