Short of time?
Why not take a short break to one of Europe’s most eye-catching towns? The glossy online lifestyle and travel magazine, Hero & Leander, has included Modica and our Hortus Suites in its round-up of 14 picture perfect European towns. We have plenty of accommodation in the countryside around Modica but if you’re looking for a super-chic experience in a central location, it would be hard to beat these swish suites, just a stone’s throw from the Duomo.
Ryanair’s low-cost flights to Comiso (30kms) from Stansted are ideal for short breaks and mid-week departures.
