Overlooking the protected Ispica valley and necropolis of Calicantone, Casa al Castello is a house renovated using natural local materials. Its air-conditioned rooms feature brickworks and a 32” LED TV. The historic center of Modica is a 15-minute drive away. You can start your day with a sweet and savory buffet breakfast, including homemade cakes. It is served in the living room. Casa al Castello’s rooms have a private entrance, and most face a shared terrace with far-reaching views of the valley. They offer a mini-bar and fully equipped bathroom with bathrobes. With its peaceful position in Sicily's Val di Noto region, the property also includes an outdoor swimming pool and garden with sun loungers and gazebo. WiFi is free throughout. Guests can enjoy the outdoor hot tub for free. Pozzallo’s beaches are reachable in less than 25 minutes by car, while the ruins of Cava d'Ispica's so-called Castle are accessible via the stairs outside the property. Restaurants, bars and supermarkets are about 3.1 mi away.

The house was built in 1954 and was meant to provide decent life conditions to the countryside peasants which used to live inside the rocky caverns of the so called “Castello” even in the early post second world war period.
