Grana Barocco  

In Modica’s central square, this 4-star art hotel sits in the heart of the UNESCO-listed Sicilian Baroque quarter, facing the Cathedral of San Pietro. Minutes from Castello dei Conti and other historic sites, it’s an ideal base for exploring Modica’s winding streets and monuments on foot.

Set inside a restored 17th-century baroque palace, the property keeps frescoed ceilings, Baroque floors, wrought-iron balconies and period furniture alongside modern comforts. The intimate hotel offers nine air-conditioned rooms with minibars, Sky/cable TV, private baths with tubs or showers, safes and daily housekeeping; an elevator improves accessibility for guests with disabilities.

Relax at the full-service spa with Turkish bath, sauna, hydromassage and a selection of massages and beauty treatments, or soak in the spa tub and hit the on-site fitness center to stay active. Additional perks include babysitting (surcharge), tour/ticket assistance and parking zone access.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi throughout the hotel, a 24-hour front desk, multilingual staff and luggage storage make short stays and work trips smooth. Train station pick-up and airport shuttle are available for a surcharge.

The hotel restaurant serves breakfast and dinner and specializes in traditional local Sicilian dishes, set dramatically in an underground grotto with a glass floor over Bronze Age archaeological finds. Limited room service is offered during select hours.
