Le Chiuse di Guadagna

In southeast Sicily between Scicli and Modica, set in a restored countryside masseria amid centuries-old carob trees. A family-friendly, pet-friendly country house a short drive from Palazzo Beneventano, Church of San Matteo, Sampieri Beach and the Chocolate Museum of Modica.

Light-filled stone walls and drywalls give the place a raw, rustic edge. The former farmhouse and barns are converted into 10 comfortable guestrooms with private balconies or patios; some rooms include kitchens with ovens and stovetops, plus minibars, air conditioning, showers and complimentary toiletries.

Take a dip in the seasonal outdoor pool, rent bicycles to explore nearby beaches, or fire up the barbecue in the picnic area. Pets are welcome, free self-parking is onsite, and concierge and babysitting services are available (surcharge). Wake up to carob‑shaded mornings and quiet country views.

Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected. Onsite conveniences include laundry and dry cleaning, luggage storage and free self-parking.

There’s an on-site restaurant and a complimentary buffet breakfast served daily from 8 AM to 10 AM. Taste regional Sicilian flavors nearby and explore Modica’s famous chocolate at local spots a short drive away.
