Edel Modica

Edel Emotional Domus Et Luxury Hotel (what a mouthful) is an all round excellent place to stay in Modica. It’s located overlooking the hills and a twenty minute walk from the station. My room was large with a small balcony and a fridge stocked with soft drinks. I used the coffee machine in the kitchen on a couple of occasions and enjoyed a relaxing soak in one of their jacuzzis. Overall, the hotel was excellent value for money for what you get. I really enjoyed my stay and would certainly recommend Edel to anybody visiting the town. I only wish I had managed to book the Library Room. One small negative addition at the end of a five star review. It’s a pity breakfast couldn’t be provided at the hotel. A voucher was provided, although this only let me get a coffee and a croissant and I had to pay for my cream cake! As I had paid for two people perhaps I should have been given two vouchers. But never mind! This is only a speck on what is otherwise an amazing review of such a wonderful hotel.

I loved everything about this place. It's a private home, built in the late 19th century for a prominent local family who still live there and rent out four rooms on the main floor. I stayed in the Time Suite, and loved the comfortable bed and enormous bathtub. In some ways it's more like an Airbnb--the owners are available if needed, but there's no restaurant, gym, or business centre, and the front desk isn't staffed at night. But what you get is a sense of being a welcome guest in a beautiful house, with access to a lovely garden, a rooftop hot tub, a large and well-stocked kitchen, and plenty of common space. Staying here is a unique experience and very reasonably priced.

My wife and I made our reservation through ***********, this was for a suite with balcony, breakfast included. We arrived for our 3 night stay late afternoon to be met by the owner/manager? who checked us in. We were informed that breakfast was not being offered in the hotel and we were given vouchers for a cafe downtown in Modica ! 1. Two routes to the cafe, 1.5km round trip by road, or 1.4 km using 68 steps down to the main road, and then 68 steps back up on the return journey !. Walking was the only solution with parking being an impossibility 2. At the cafe I was told the voucher had a value of €5, that gave me an orange juice, coffee and croissant - no jam. 3. Through the tourist board office we attempted to contact the hotel, the person who checked us in had disappeared, never to remerge during our entire stay, never anybody at reception. 4. Balcony, yes, but just capable in letting a person stand 5. TV, no International channels 6. An ancient bed that creaked at the slightest movement 7 .Hospitality tray but with no milk provided 8. Usually we would expect a settee or comfortable chair in a suite, we had a table and 4 chairs 9. Terraced garden on several levels, only seating metal chairs 10. Street parking impossible, free parking 450 metres away It is a travesty to call this a luxury hotel Be warned

Last minute decision to stay at this charming sophisticated and welcoming place. Stayed in the Suite. Spacious room, high ceilings, fantastic bathroom, great view over the town and welcoming hosts. They welcomed my two little dogs, that's a winner for me! Honesty bar, spotlessly clean, a gem! Thank you for giving us such a relaxing time!
