Across the rural landscape of Modica, Torre Don Virgilio Country Hotel lives in a historic masseria with tower, stone courtyards and lines of carob. South‑eastern light runs over limestone surfaces and returns to measured interiors where pale wood and lime draw ordered volumes. Time loosens its pace: unhurried mornings, field walks, shaded pauses under pergolas and evening returns as the air cools. The position invites detours to the baroque towns of the Val di Noto and to the beaches of the southern coast. Discreet hospitality that blends rural memory with present‑day comfort.
Bright rooms and suites set between the tower and rural wings keep continuity with the original architecture. Natural textiles, local stone and essential details shape calm spaces.
Outdoor breakfasts with local oils, fresh ricotta and honey open the day with clear flavours. It is the right time to chart steps along walls, gardens and farm lanes.
A pool framed by greenery offers quiet pauses in the bright hours. Outdoors alternate shade, herb scents and soft countryside views.
Ragusa Ibla, Scicli and Modica are close, as are coastal reserves in the south‑east. Each route weaves pale stone, light and sea.
Olive oil, ancient grains and herbs guide simple, contemporary recipes. Selected addresses suggest country osterie and trattorie within a short radius.

His Opinion: La chambre etait petite - la classique - et il faut des directions beaucoup plus claires/detaillees. A la campagne, on se perd tres facilement! Apart de ca, tout etait excellent - la courtoisie et le petit dejeuner surtout.

His Opinion: Torre Don Virgilio ist sehr schön gelegen zwischen Modica und Noto. Der Garten ist gut angelegt, so dass Olivenbäume am Pool Schatten spenden. Die Liegen um das leider in Anbetracht der Gästeauslastung etwas kleine und nicht tiefe Becken sind unbequem: aus Plastik, ohne Polsterauflage. Es stört, dass auch Stühle und Tische an denen morgens und abends gegessen wird, aus Plastik sind. Die Zimmer werden sehr gut geputzt. Das Essen war nach anfänglichen kleinen Unregelmäßigkeiten gute regionale Hausmannskost. Ein Teil des leider sehr mit Arbeit überlasteten Personals in der Hauptsaison war überaus hilfsbereit und bemüht, den Aufenthalt angenehm zu machen.

His Opinion: Although we enjoyed the resort our accommodation was only average.The bed was very hard and we were very disappointed that in very hot conditions i.e mid 30 temperatures,the air conditioning in our room had been swithched off externally and therefore our attempts during the night to cool down our room were in vain,It wasn't until the next morning when we raised the matter with reception we were told there was a blockage with the system however we then observed the staff going to an outside pump room and swithching our unit on.During the days our unit was switched off by management and only put back on when we requested each late afternoon when we arrived back from sightseeing.This obviously meant that our room was barely cool by the time we went to bed.We felt it was very unfortunate that a four star facility was so miserly with the air conditioning during a heat wave.
