The rooms display a chic, understated design that complements the tranquil atmosphere.

What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Casa Talia is a stunning hillside retreat with incredible views and beautifully designed rooms. Peaceful, charming, and just a short walk from Modica’s historic centre. During our time in sicily We stayed in the most well known hotels, 2-3 times the price and the whole experience we had here at casa Talía was 2nd to none! Extra special thanks to Vittorio, whose warmth and local knowledge made our stay unforgettable. His hospitality took the whole experience beyond expectation! Grazie mille!”
“Difficult to find despite Google Maps. Owner came out to find us. Room was rustic and basic. Breakfast was fabulous . The view across the valley incredibly. Overall definitely slow living and interesting.”
“Really loved staying here. It’s so gorgeous and I loved having breakfast on the terrace. If you’re driving, make sure you know where you are going (they will send you a message via WhatsApp before you arrive). I definitely recommend having a car so you can visit neighboring cities and towns.”
“Warm welcome, even from the owner. Nice and spacious room, amazing view, and a perfect location. Good breakfast as well.”
