A distinguished independent house in Modica Bassa located at the end of Via Fontana, in a private and convenient position for accessing both Modica Bassa and Modica Alta. The house has three total levels. On the ground floor, there is a private entrance and a valuable spacious garage with a loft, ideal for extra space for hobbies. The sleeping area is on the first floor and is structured as a small suite with a double bedroom, a sitting area (which could become a second bedroom), a bathroom, and a walk-in closet outside the bedroom. A balcony overlooking the city completes this area, offering comfort and well-being. On the second floor is the heart of the house, a large living area complete with a dining and living room, perfect for relaxing or entertaining guests. In the rear part serving this area is the bright kitchen with a direct view of the terraced courtyard. Outside in the courtyard, there is also a spacious and convenient laundry room. A practical study and a second bathroom add versatility to these spaces. This house has been lovingly renovated and is in excellent condition. The pearl gray resin floors add a touch of elegance and modernity to every room. Casa Perla is ideal both as a primary residence, offering generous spaces and an excellent location in the heart of Modica, and as a vacation home to experience authentic Sicilian living.
The dwelling is located at the end of Via Fontana, in an area of the city of Modica that connects Modica Alta with Modica Bassa. It's less than a 5-minute walk from the center of Modica Bassa, but is also conveniently accessible by car. This location allows you to experience the heart of Modica Bassa without having to endure its busiest hours. Modica, like other historic towns in the Val di Noto, owes its unique urban configuration to the unusual terrain combined with various anthropogenic factors. Many of the houses in the old part of the city, closely built together, often extend from ancient caves that have been inhabited since prehistoric times. Approximately 700 caves that were once inhabited or used for various purposes have been documented, both those visible and those "incorporated" into new constructions.
Of significant historical importance is the excellent state of preservation, right in the historic center, of the Quartiriccio necropolis in the Vignazza district, with several dozen rock-cut oven tombs dating back to 2200 B.C. Modica, along with Ragusa, Scicli, and Noto, has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
