Modica Apartments & Villas (Sicily)
The city of 100 bells and 100 churches, Modica is a wonderful destination that charms visitors with its architecture, food, culture and sense of authenticity. Lying on a gorge formed by four hills in the south of the Iblei Mountains in Sicily it is divided into Modica Alta (Upper Modica), whose amber colored buildings clamber up on the rocks, and Modica Bassa (Lower Modica), at the bottom of the valley. A maze of narrow streets and steps joins the two parts.
Modica was once considered the Venice of the South for the many bridges that crossed over the rivers Ianni Mauro and Pozzo dei Pruni that once flew down the valley. At the beginning of the century, following a terrible flood that took place in 1902, the rivers were covered up and today where once flew the water stands Corso Umberto, the main street and historic centre of the town.
Sicily has many beautiful locations with plenty of choice of accommodation from Sicily villas and holiday homes to Sicilian apartments. There is some beautiful accommodation in old Sicily towns as Modica and also some wonderful Sicily holiday cottages and villas near the coast. A perfect place to spend your holidays in Italy.
