Casa Talía slowliving

A Serene Sanctuary in Modica: A Week of Blissful Slow Living

Perched in the historic heights of Modica, this exquisite slow-living retreat offers a haven of peace and elegance. The hotel, consisting of beautifully restored single houses, expertly blends the charm of old Sicilian architecture with modern comforts. The owners, a talented couple from Milan who are both architects, have transformed these houses into spaces where indoor and outdoor environments meld seamlessly, each offering a private terrace or garden.

Upon arrival, we were welcomed by the soothing fragrance of jasmine and other flowers, setting a tranquil tone for our stay. The impeccably maintained gardens, along with a stunning swimming pool that provides panoramic views of Modica and the Duomo of San Giorgio, offered the perfect setting for relaxation. This breathtaking vista is undoubtedly one of the best in the city.

Every morning, we enjoyed a delicious breakfast featuring an array of local sweet and savory dishes. The hosts' passion and expertise were evident in every detail, making us feel warmly welcomed and at home. Their gentle hospitality and dedication to creating a serene experience made our stay truly special.

Our week here was a perfect blend of historical charm, exquisite design, and natural beauty. We left feeling rejuvenated and eagerly anticipate our return to this peaceful retreat. For those seeking a soulful Sicilian escape with a modern twist, this hotel is a true gem.

Casa Talia is a true gem in a city that must be included in a romantic Sicily roadtrip.
Marco has created a true oasis as every single room is different and has its own charm. Chic and traditional architecture meets authentic Sicilian way of life with breakfast fresh from the garden on our plates.
Thanks for the amazing hospitality Marco!

I think this is the most beautiful place to stay in Modica, with the most stunning view of the city. The owner is a very lovely architect, who had a clear vision of this accomodation and is realizing it step for step. He created a beautiful boutique hotel with a little garden, where you can sit, enjoying the view. The breakfast is homemade, with lots of love.

The view from your room in Casa Talia is why guests choose this hotel. It is absolutely astonishing and unforgetable, as the town of Modica and the baroque churches of St Giorgio and St Pieter in their glorious centuries-old beauty appear right in front of your eyes ... truly a sight to behold !!! ... owner architect Marco will welcome you during breakfast and he is such an interesting character who likes to share his life experiences and knowledge of his love of the town, that we easily chit chat like good friends ... hahaa. Casa Talia was his dream creation from a cluster of abandoned centuries old stone houses, but the interior is very much like a place you would see in Architecture Digest magazine or alike. It is truly a one-of-kind place u will forever remember in your life !!!!

A wonderful place to stay. You get a marvelous view of Modica, the rooms are beautifully renovated and the staff here are INCREDIBLE. So friendly and accommodating.

We love casa talia so much! Free parking space in a few walking distance, well-designed room while keeping the local features. Stunning old town view of Modica from the room/ and also the garden where we have our breakfast. Delicious hand-made breakfast by friendly staffs. Walk in 5 minutes to city center. Perfect design hotel to stay in Modica. Highly recommend;)

Amazing hotel. The room was lovely with a beautiful view over Modica. We had a lovely terrace and enjoyed the beautiful shared garden. Breakfasts were fantastic. Many thanks to Vittorio in particular for making our stay extra special by giving us tips and booking things for us. Highly recommend!

Amazing view and pool, interesting concept.
Mind that you have 200 steps to main street and restaurants.

Hands down one of the very best hotels in Sicily I have ever come across. The hotel is spread over >5 original houses that have been combined in a unique way to a very charming hotel. The view on the old town of Modica is simply amazing. As is the excellent breakfast, that our very friendly host Valentino served in the gardens under fig and pomegranate trees. Couldn’t be any better. 100% recommended.

We had a truely wonderful stay at Casa Talía. We were upgraded to the Talía room which was huge with an upstairs living area and downstairs bedroom. There was also a small garden with an outdoor sitting area and even a fig tree with fresh figs. The room was beautifully styled and had all the necessary creature comforts. The location is fantastic (a short walk down into the town and around 5 minutes to walk back up). Breakfast was served each morning in their beautiful garden and was fresh, healthy and really tasty. The staff were super friendly and helpful. They went out of their way to make sure or stay was perfect and gave great local advice. Would highly recommend and we hope to be back in the future.

Casa Talia is a series of renovated hillside homes (one of which includes a portion of a cave), designed with rustic elegance but a couple of architects from Milan. We loved our recent 2 night stay here, and in the middle of our adventure filled two week tour of Sicily, we fully embraced the owners' mission of slow living. Our room overlooking Modica Bassa and Modica Alta was simple, spacious, clean, and super comfortable. Breakfast in the garden was extra special and a relaxing way to start each day. The staff were friendly and helpful with tips about local restaurants. We would love to return.

Beautiful designer hotel. The owner himself is a architecture design. Designed this charming hotel. Room is unique and charming garden for breakfast and relaxing. Stunning view from all rooms and garden!! Breakfast is all homemade.
