MODICA STYLE

Stone house in the Baroque heart of Modica, steps from the Cathedral of San Giorgio

In the historic centre of Modica, a jewel of the Val di Noto (UNESCO World Heritage Site) in southeastern Sicily, province of Ragusa, we present a stone house set in the timeless atmosphere of Modica Alta, just steps from the majestic Duomo di San Giorgio and its staircase — chosen in 2026 as the setting for Brunello Cucinelli’s high-fashion runway show.

The house sits on one of the historic centre’s characteristic cobbled lanes, in a corner position that brings in light from multiple sides. Its exposed local stone façade, traditional wooden shuttered windows, and elegant double wooden entrance door preserve the authentic charm of Modica’s traditional architecture.

Freestanding on three sides, the house spans two floors for a total of 255 sqm. The ground floor (109 sqm), with its own independent entrance, still features the original stone cross-vaulted ceilings. The first floor (146 sqm) comprises a kitchen, entrance hall, spacious living room, master bedroom, second bedroom and bathroom, with beautiful original period cement-tile (cementine) flooring. Both the bedroom and living room open onto a balcony overlooking the baroque bell tower of the Duomo di San Giorgio, rising above the terracotta rooftops of the old town — a view that captures the essence of Modica, Sicily’s “stone nativity scene.”

The property requires substantial restoration: a blank canvas for anyone dreaming of bringing a historic home back to life, whether as a private residence or a charming holiday home in the heart of baroque Sicily, just a short drive from the sea and from the other gems of the Val di Noto — Ragusa Ibla, Noto and Syracuse.

A unique opportunity for those looking to transform a bright home in the heart of Modica, just steps away from the Cathedral of San Giorgio, into an authentic and bespoke space: a residence to enjoy, a place to work, or a project designed to harmoniously combine both needs.

We would thoroughly recommend At Sicily to anyone.

She doesn’t overwhelm you with irrelevant options; instead, she takes a thoughtful, tailored approach, presenting only properties that truly match your criteria. She's always well-prepared, and if any information is missing, she will go the extra mile to provide a clear and qualified answer.

We’ve worked with her twice—first to find our home and later for agricultural land—and both experiences were absolutely excellent. It was an absolute pleasure working with her.

Notre expérience avec Maddalena, du processus de la recherche à l'achat d'un terrain dans les alentours de Noto a  été un bonheur, entre la découverte de la région et de sa personnalité sensible. Elle a été en mesure d'écouter et de sentir ce que nous cherchions. Il ne s'agit pas ici d'un 'business as usual' pour elle, ais plutôt d'une relation entre humains avec une terre qui trouve son sens.
