n the very heart of a “split pomegranate” – as the city of Modica is often referred to – amidst a late-baroque, grain-colored architecture, within a building of the second half of the 19th century, that has belonged for many centuries to the same family and looks on a garden with luxuriant lemon-trees, is the “L’Orangerie”, a stylish Bed & Breakfast offering a relaxing stay in elegant rooms and spacious attics looking over flowered terraces where you can consume your breakfast, otherwise served in the picturesque “d’antan” kitchen.
All the rooms and apartments are equipped with stylish furniture, as a perfect combination of comfort and historical ambience; on the walls ranging in colors from coral to brick red, to cream-yellow and dark-green, are outstanding works of contemporary graphic arts, that along with the historical design give the rooms a quaint and charming feel.
A number of attractions in Modica are absolute must-see’s. Among them are the church of San Giorgio, the gothic portal of the Palazzo De Leva, the cloister of the church of Santa Maria delle Carceri, the church of San Pietro and numerous minor buildings, interesting for either their design or picturesque location.
At Modica you can delight your palate with the traditional dishes of the Hyblean cuisine, and sin by eating the exquisite products of the local confectionery: the traditional chocolate, the cannoli, the “’mpanatigghi” and, in the summer season, ice-creams and granitas, served at the tables of the many coffee bars scattered along the main street.
Many other renowned destinations are easily reachable by car, such as the neighboring Ragusa Ibla, Cava d’Ispica, Noto and Siracusa or, not too far – one or two hours away – Pantalica, Piazza Armerina, Caltagirone and Agrigento.
We await you and trust that your stay at the “l’Orangerie” will be better than you might expect.
