01 · In a sentence

Le Magnolie Hotel in Modica, open AprilOctober.

Perched in the heart of southeastern Sicily's Val di Noto, Le Magnolie Hotel commands views across Modica's terracotta rooftops and surrounding limestone hills, with the baroque architecture of this UNESCO World Heritage town cascading down the slopes below.

Stone facades and period details frame the property, while the Mediterranean landscape stretches toward the distant Hyblaean Mountains.

The 4.6-star rated hotel transforms these dramatic vistas into an intimate wedding backdrop where Sicilian character meets contemporary hospitality.

This hotel was used as our cooking tour accommodations. Hotel clean and spacious. It is up a steep hill if you are not prepared, but everything at the hotel is exceptional. The view from the terrace absolutely beautiful of Modica.
