casa san giorgio

Along one of the narrow streets of the historical town of Modica, Sicily, the entrance door of this luxury holiday home for rent leads to a small garden enclosed on two sides by ancient stone walls, and on the other side by the house. Casa San Giorgio is the perfect choice for all those seeking an authentic Italian vacation near the sea, walking distance to the village and all facilities.
A variety of plants including orange and lemon trees create a lovely shaded area that houses the dining table and the barbecue. The outdoor area also features a stone built hot tub surrounded by comfortable loungers. Gazing up, the dome of the Cathedral of San Giorgio, a UNESCO heritage site, shines through its baroque beauty day and night.
The villa, built on two floors, features a contemporary style where the combination of style, art and technology make it an ideal holiday home. Two bedrooms are located on the ground floor and one on the first floor, which is connected to the lower floor by a spiral staircase, and has a private terrace and direct access to the garden.
This glamorous home has been tastefully decorated, with great attention to details. An authentic historic setting which perfectly blends in with the ultimate appliances and unique artworks and handicrafts creating a unique atmosphere at a walking distance from all the amenities.
From Modica you can easily reach Noto, Ragusa, Scicli, and Syracuse, where you can admire the most unforgettable Baroque in Sicily.
