The area where Atem Villa is located, in Contrada Zappulla, is an untouched corner of the Modican countryside, characterized by abundant and tranquil nature, where time seems to pass more slowly. This typical Iblean landscape, with its dry-stone walls, ancient carob trees, and olive groves scattered throughout the fields, creates an authentic atmosphere, ideal for those seeking peace and a connection with the Sicilian land.
Just a short drive away is Modica, a gem of Sicilian Baroque, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Known for its monumental churches, historic palaces, and lively streets filled with artisan shops, Modica is also famous for its confectionery tradition, particularly for chocolate made according to ancient Aztec recipes. Strolling through its hilly neighborhoods allows one to immerse themselves in a centuries-old history rich in art, faith, and culture.
Nearby, other treasures of the Val di Noto, such as Scicli and Ragusa Ibla, can be easily visited, showcasing extraordinary architectural and scenic charm. Within less than an hour’s drive, one can also reach Noto, the undisputed capital of Sicilian Baroque, and the Mediterranean coast, known for its golden sandy beaches, nature reserves, and fishing villages.
The villa's location also provides opportunities for unique experiences: from boat excursions with sunset aperitifs to walks in the Mediterranean scrub, as well as exploring wineries, farmhouses, and local markets to savor the most authentic flavors of southeastern Sicily.
Thus, Contrada Zappulla serves as an ideal base for those wishing to explore without sacrificing the peace and essential beauty of the Sicilian countryside, achieving a perfect balance between culture, nature, and well-being.
