Elegant Noble Floor in the Heart of Modica

This sophisticated noble floor is situated in an 18th-century palace in the historic center of Modica Bassa, preserving its exquisite decorations and period features. Upon entering through a discreet door, one is welcomed by a grand Gothic-style staircase embellished with family emblems. This leads to two elegant reception rooms, separated by majestic marble columns, which flow into spacious entertaining areas. Following this, one discovers a magnificent ballroom, a refined Art Nouveau music room, and a generous bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. The floor also features a dining room, illuminated by an elegant passageway that opens onto an internal terrace, where a second bedroom with a bathroom can be created. The elegant first floor is adorned with frescoes, wallpaper, and fine majolica tiles, reflecting the building's historical evolution from the 18th to the 19th century, culminating in Art Nouveau influences from Ernesto Basile's school in Palermo. A standout feature of the palace is the splendid panoramic terrace, offering captivating views of Modica's historic center, where the Conti Castle can be admired, making it perfect for receptions and social gatherings. From the entrance hall, a hidden door in the library leads to the ground floor, where expansive spaces dedicated to daily life are located: the old kitchens with dumbwaiters, historic horse stables, and large "dammusi" currently used for storage. All these areas are accessible via a charming courtyard arcade with evocative stone arches, connected to the outside with a separate entrance. Thanks to its central location, this elegant noble floor presents a unique opportunity for both residential use and transformation into a prestigious accommodation facility, with easy access to residential services and Modica's vibrant cultural scene. The property is just 20 minutes from the sea, 40 minutes from Comiso airport, and approximately one and a half hours from Catania Fontanarossa international airport.
