Antica Masseria Timparuci  

Out in rural Modica, this guesthouse sits about 4 km from the city center and a short drive from the Chocolate Museum of Modica, Corso Umberto I and the Cathedral of San Giorgio. Easy access to historic churches and archaeological sites makes it a quiet base for exploring southeastern Sicily.

Just five individually decorated guestrooms keep the vibe intimate. Rooms feature espresso makers and refrigerators, down comforters with Egyptian cotton sheets, 21‑inch LCD TVs with digital programming, and private furnished balconies or patios. En suites include showers with rainfall heads and bidets. Note: the property is closed November through March.

A seasonal outdoor pool, terrace and garden set the scene for slow afternoons. There’s a picnic area and barbecue grills for casual al fresco meals, complimentary wireless internet across the property, free self‑parking and a daily reception to mingle with other guests.

Practical extras include luggage storage, laundry facilities and a safe‑deposit box. A roundtrip airport shuttle is available for a surcharge.

Grab light bites at the on‑site snack bar/deli or join the complimentary daily reception for nibbles and a meet‑up. Fire up the barbecue grills for a relaxed, local‑style picnic.
