Enjoy a short stay in nearby Sicily with Touring Mediterraneo, which has planned a really nice vacation for those travelling by car and have arranged a very special price too.
A short four-day, three-night breakaway vacation is probably what you need. Travel to Pozzallo, Sicily with your own car on board the fast ferry service and spend a few days relaxing in a fabulous four-star boutique resort hotel in a charming setting, complete with swimming pool with whirlpool bath and tennis court. You also have complimentary private parking for your car in the hotel’s grounds.
Your resort hotel welcomes you with its modern design and bright airy rooms with ensuite bathrooms providing the ideal solution to satisfy your expectations and to make every moment unforgettable. At the hotel’s restaurant, the traditional specialities of the Sicilian cuisine are reinvented in a modern way.
The surrounding rural views will help you regenerate your body and soul. In fact, the resort is located in the countryside just outside the baroque city of Modica and a short drive from the prehistoric settlements of Cava Ispica and the other well-known provincial capital city of Ragusa. Include a visit to Ragusa Ibla to your itinerary.
Modica is divided into two parts which are connected by numerous flights of steps. Modica boasts palaces, houses and magnificent churches with inspiring domes, bell towers and intricate facades. The centrepiece is undoubtedly the beautiful church of San Giorgio.
Modica has a long and varied history. It reached the height of its splendour during the Aragon Dynasty (14th to 18th century). The Spanish brought with them customs and secrets, the most important of which was the unique recipe, learned from the Aztecs, for chocolate. Even today, this recipe remains unchanged. Walk around Modica and you will see the many chocolatiers who produce a product that tastes and feels unique on the palate.
To complete your short break, Touring Mediterraneo has included one dinner at the hotel’s speciality restaurant as well as dinner at Da Carmelo, located in a beautiful setting overlooking the sea in nearby Marina di Ragusa. Go early in the evening and enjoy a stroll along the promenade lined with shops and boutiques.
Finally, you will have a day to spend on the extensive golden sands of Sampieri beach. At the PataPata Lido you will get your complimentary beach umbrella and lounger placed in the front row (subject to availability) of the beach. Lido facilities include free use of showers and changing rooms. The lido also has a restaurant and snack bar for light lunches.
You can extend or shorten your holiday according to your preference but whatever the length, this Sicilian break is full of authentic emotions waiting for you.
