Palazzetto Polara is a pretty unique experience.
It is a beautifully positioned property within meters of the imposing Cathedral of S. Giorgio - one of the great sights of the Baroque town of Modica.
Modica is in itself a great destination in this part of Sicily with its fine buildings in a truly dramatic setting. There are also a number of good restaurants with very reasonable prices.
It was also a great base for exploring the other baroque towns of Noto, Syracuse, Scicli and Ragusa. Within easy reach are also a number of good beaches, as well as leisurely drives through the countryside, vineyards and olive groves.
Palazzetto Polara is a joy to stay at - with an imposing sitting room, great bathrooms, spacious bedrooms and a well equipped kitchen. There is both a downstairs terrace and a roof terrace furnished with chairs and tables. You are very much staying in a home rather than a property.
Both Rosalie, and Lorenzo the concierge, were extremely helpful with great advice and tips to make the most of our visit. Lorenzo was always on hand to make a stay here trouble free, and also helped with arranging a superb trip to Mt Etna.
Palazzetto Polara was a truly memorable experience that I would recommend to anyone.
