Smack in the heart of Modica Alta, this four-star, family-run hotel in a nostalgic 18th-century palace has retained much of its historical splendour, with original frescoed ceilings, hand-painted ceramic Caltagirone floor tiles, elegant drapes and heirloom antiques. Start the day with the generous breakfast buffet and end it at the hotel's well-regarded restaurant.
The hotel also manages a trio of modern rooms within walking distance of the main property, each of which is decorated in a somewhat kitschy Louis XVI style. Valet parking costs €12 per night.
