PALAZZO OLIVI is an ancient Baroque building with Art Nouveau elements. Inside there are the apartments "EUFORBIA", "LOFT LA ROCCIA", "ARCHI AND BALCONIES", "THE TERRACE OF GELSOMINI" and the studio "LA TERRAZZA SU MODICA".
The three residential floors of the palace, linked by an internal staircase, have independent entrances and services, so the "PALAZZO DELL'OLIVI" can be lived as either a single dwelling, full of air and light, with 7 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, five balconies and two large terraces. Both as five independent units (respectively for two, three, five, four and two others respectively).
The restoration was conservative and ecological: all the floors and finishes are made of Modica stone and all the rooms have ceiling-mounted fans to allow a natural and healthy refreshment, limiting the use of conditioners as well.
MODICA, a baroque town protected by UNESCO, is situated on the slopes of the Iblei Mountains.
Each part offers a different view with picturesque alleys, staircases, breathtaking churches and lavishly decorated palaces.
Modica is the ideal base for exploring the fascinating south / east of Sicily with its beautiful sea, nature and history.
From Modica you can easily reach the baroque cities of Scicli, Ragusa Ibla, Noto and Syracuse. The famous golden sandy beaches, one of the most beautiful in Sicily, such as Marina di Modica, Pozzallo, Sampieri, Vendicari nature reserve and more. The archaeological sites of Cava d'Ispica, Cava Grande and Pantalica.
Car rental is essential to enjoy the full, local, sea and city campaign.

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!

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!
Everything you need is in this very comfortable apartment in the heart of Modica. It is convenient to everything we wanted to do, well appointed, and very charming. We felt a home and were able to truly enjoy our time in Modica. Many Thanks Rudia!
We stayed for 11 nights this September. Flying into Comiso airport which is a about 35 mins drive away. The directions supplied by Rudia were easy to follow and took us straight to the apartment with no issue. Exactly what you need when arriving in the dark. This was our second visit to Modica having stayed two years ago, although in a different apartment a few streets from this. We fell in love with Modica and the surrounding area so much that this time we wanted to experience life there a little bit more with the view to buying our own property in the future. Well you can do just that in this apartment. It is a few steps away from local grocery shops, cafes, bars & restaurants.
The apartment itself is spacious, spotlessly clean and the kitchen stocked with just about every appliance you can think of.
We ate in more often than we would normally do on holiday because we enjoyed shopping for local produce, cooking in the large kitchen and then eating on the lovely terrace, fragranced by the jasmine plants.
Rudia supplied us with lots of information before our arrival about places to visit, restaurants etc.
We particularly liked the sandy beach at Marina di Modica which was about a 15 minute drive away and could enjoy safe swimming and the odd beer at the beach bar there.
On arrival we were met by Lilianna who was very helpful and explained where to park the car. Information which is essential given that there is limited free parking within the town.
A big plus for us, was that we weren't rushed out of the apartment on our last day. Our flight home wasn't until 9:00pm but Rudia allowed us to stay on and we were able to enjoy one last day on the beach and have a shower before going to the airport. This is essential I think given that travellers from the UK, if flying in from Comiso airport are very limited on the choice of flight times which are late in the evening.
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.
