Palazzo Il Cavaliere

This is a very nice B&B in the center of the lower part of town. The host said the building has been in his family for generations. The parlor where breakfast is served is lovely and has a great view of the upper town. Breakfast was excellent too. My room was nothing exciting but it was comfortable and spotlessly clean, and the price was fair. Modica itself is really charming and I hope to return some day.

I was delighted and blown away entering the building. It was like being part of a fairy story entering by the huge door in to the covered courtyard. The host was charming and friendly. Our room was huge and cool with thick walls which made it wonderfully quiet. The breakfast room, reached through a patio and up stairs fringed with fragrant jasmine, was full of family items and grandad appeared to show his ancestors. It was relaxed and friendly and I loved staying here. The location is good and although we only stayed for one night we were able to look around town and know we didn't have far to go back to our accommodation. Breakfast was extra and was good - especially the bread.

Amazing bed and breakfast! Had a magnificent experience here. Gianpiero made my stay even better than expected. Room was clean and perfect for solo travelers, the location was excellent. Hosts are very friendly and knowledgeable. The B&B is full of family history and the decor was beautiful.

We were in room 5 which is next to the breakfast room and has a fabulous painted ceiling. The room was furnished to match the classic style of the room, but the bed was very comfortable. It was lovely to see the internal structure of the old palazzo and to share the home of the owners. The location is excellent, it was easy to find and being on the main street we were able to avoid negotiating the narrow streets of the old town.||It was a pleasant stroll down the Corso Umberto of an evening to the centre of the town where there are numerous restaurants, bars and gelateria. If you have a sweet tooth Modica could be 7th heaven as the chocolate is renowned and there are many specialist shops.||The only thing I missed was a cappucino at breakfast time, but coffee, espresso and tea were available, so we didn't go thirsty. ||The shower, wi-fi and aircon were all great, and the bathroom had it's own french doors overlooking the courtyard. Although there is no lift the owner opened the side door on the first floor for us, and from here it was easy to wheel our luggage to the car.||Thank you for a lovely stay.

We recently spent a week in Modica at this lovely, well-located B&B in a restored family palazzo. The family has kept the charm and historic character of their home and opened up rooms in a separate wing for guests. ||||Our room had a small balcony overlooking the inner courtyard, a very comfortable bed and modern bathroom with amenities. The room also has A/C (and TV) which you might need in warmer months.||||The breakfast room overlooks upper Modica and provides a great viewing point of the city. The buffet is plentiful with fresh fruits, real coffee, juice, cereals, yogurt, toast and pastries. ||||Sara was our host at the palazzo, and she speaks English and provided us with a great overview of Modica and organized ideas for a few days of sightseeing around the region. We had a few questions during our stay and she was easily reachable to assist.||||I would happily stay here again.

As the name suggests, the Palazio Il Caveliere is an example of a old mansion turned into a quaint B&B with historic character – not uncommon in Sicily. In this case the family still lives in the Palazio and rents out about half of it to travelers. My wife and I stayed here for 3 nights in mid-September, ‘17 while we explored the Baroque gems of the area. It was a very comfortable place to use as a base. It is located at the northern part of Via Umberto the main street through the town. It is a 15-minute walk to the central area, with several restaurants and shops along the way. The hotel offers no parking of its own, but generally it is possible to find a non-pay spot somewhere along the street. ||||Due to a mix-up in our reservation, the first night we were put in the deluxe suite instead of the more standard room we had booked – the suite was a huge classic room with beautiful painted ceiling and decorated with family antiques. It had a picturesque view of St, George cathedral higher on the hillside opposite the hotel. The bathroom was likewise large and attractive, though the retrofit shower was a bit small. The next two nights we were in room 3, a smaller room on the same floor which overlooked the central courtyard. This was still very nice, attractively decorated with a comfortable king bed, two night stands, a desk with mini-fridge, and a recessed armoire (no safe), and a large bathroom with shower only. The a.c. was quiet and effective, and the wifi was strong and fairly fast. ||||Both rooms were on the upper floor of the palazio and required transporting luggage up the stairs because there was no lift. There were other rooms a half-flight down, but at least one of these had no exterior windows, In fact, since each room in the Palazio is different and some may be windowless, we suggest you enquire before booking as to your room’s features.||||Breakfast was served in the Palazio’s central room, which was a delight with high painted ceiling, antique furnishings, family portraits on the wall, and an excellent view of St. George Cathedral. The offerings were extensive and quite good – fruit, yogurt, pastries, meat & cheese, cereals, coffee.||||We enjoyed our stay here very much and recommend it to those who like smaller, more interesting hotels.

Part of a 19th Century Palazzo at the upper end of the main street in Modica Bassa. You will get several keys including for the splendid, original wooden street door. Rooms are a good size although could perhaps do with some updating. A pleasant but basic breakfast is served in a wonderful high-ceilinged room with views up to the amazing Duomo in Modica Alta. A particularly lovely aspect of the B&B are the numerous old photographs on the walls in the corridor and all sorts of memorabilia in the breakfast room. WiFi works well in the rooms despite the thick walls. Definitely a B&B with traditional Sicilian character. Most sites in Modica are walkable but be prepared for many, many steps up to Modica Alta. If you are lucky you can park outside and if not there is a free car park a few minutes walk away.

Amazing B&B, perfectly fit for whoever wants to stay in city center. Gianpiero was very friendly and gave us suggestions for the city. Good air conditioning and wifi. The building and the room is beautiful and clean as expected. Highly recommended. 🙂
