Casa Sipione Papa, a 19th-century residence, is located in the heart of the County of Modica, just a few steps away from the Mother Church of San Giorgio and the ancient Castle of the Counts. The house overlooks Corso Crispi and the small church of San Michele, now the headquarters of the Frederickian Templar Knights. The frescoed vaults, the majolica floors, and the antique cement tiles from the 1800s contribute to creating a decoratively austere noble elegance style, which combines with a feeling of welcoming livability, between Baroque and Belle Époque.
From the balconies of the house, it is possible to immerse oneself in history, with a view of the Bell Tower of San Michele and the homonymous alley that leads to the lateral square of the majestic San Giorgio, whose magnificent Baroque facade opens with a splendid staircase onto the main street of the city. From the main balcony of the house, like from a living room, one can admire an enchanting panorama, a place where some unforgettable sequences of the famous Montalbano TV series were filmed.
In the heart of Modica's historic center, just a few steps away from the San Giorgio Mother Church, the Count's Castle, and Quasimodo's House, Casa Sipione Papa offers a strategic location for exploring the County. Only a five-minute walk from Corso Umberto I, this residence allows easy access to all the characteristic places in the area.
The best restaurants and pizzerias are within reach, either by taking a pleasant stroll through the city's narrow alleys, admiring the baroque palaces and churches, or by conveniently driving thanks to the property's location on one of Modica's main streets, where parking is simple and convenient.
Just a few meters away from the B&B, the Duomo Bar invites you to savor exquisite Modican chocolate and other typical products such as cremolate, cannoli, arancini, and lemonades, offering an authentic experience of local flavors.
