Nacalino Agriturismo welcomes its guests in the countryside of Modica, inside an ancient Sicilian farmhouse restored with respect for its original character, using materials and techniques tied to local tradition. The historic core of the complex dates back to the 17th century, while other parts of the building were constructed in the latter half of the 19th century.

The property is set within an organic farm of about 55 hectares, spread across several plots, where ancient grains, legumes, olive trees, carob trees, and seasonal vegetables are cultivated. This authentic rural setting, characterized by wide open spaces, tranquility, and a peaceful pace, is perfect for those who want to spend a few days immersed in nature without giving up easy access to the main destinations of southeastern Sicily.

The farmhouse offers Standard, Superior, and Family rooms, as well as a Suite. The interiors are furnished in a simple and practical style and include private bathrooms with showers, air conditioning, TV, and minibar.

Outdoor areas play a significant role in the stay: around the farmhouse, guests will find a large lawn, spaces equipped with tables and chairs, children's playgrounds, and a swimming pool with a solarium, typically open from May to October. Guests can also walk along the estate’s trails and, when available, participate in cooking classes focused on the local culinary tradition. Nearby, there is also a riding stable and a tennis court.

Breakfast is served in the morning, featuring a variety of genuine flavors, including fresh milk, coffee, and tea accompanied by homemade-style bread, cakes, and tarts, typical biscuits, farm-made jams, and local honey. For those who prefer a savory start, yogurt, eggs, cheeses, and ricotta sourced from selected local producers are also available.

Dinners are organized only on special occasions. However, upon request and with prior notice, including on the day of arrival, guests can enjoy a tasting dedicated to the regional cuisine. Modican scacce, arancini, olives, dried sausage, and cheeses make up a sample of the Iblean tradition to be shared in an informal and family-like atmosphere.

Nacalino’s location allows guests to easily alternate days by the sea, cultural visits, and excursions in the Ragusa countryside. Modica and Scicli are about a ten-minute drive away, Ragusa Ibla approximately thirty minutes, and Noto around forty minutes. The seaside resorts of Marina di Modica, Sampieri, and Pozzallo are also conveniently reachable.

The area offers many opportunities to explore the Baroque heritage, rural landscapes, and traditions of the Val di Noto. Throughout the year, religious festivals, events, and celebrations enliven Modica and other towns in the province. The owners are available to suggest itineraries, excursions, and places to visit, helping guests organize their stay according to their interests.
Rooms and Rates
The breakfast at Nacalino Agriturismo showcases the simple and authentic flavors of the Sicilian countryside, featuring a selection of homemade products and local specialties. In the morning, fresh milk, coffee, and tea are served alongside homemade bread, cakes, tarts, traditional cookies, the farm’s own jams, and local honey.

There is also a savory option available, including yogurt, eggs, cheeses, and fresh ricotta sourced from trusted local producers. This varied and traditional breakfast is designed to start the day savoring genuine products and ingredients from the region.
Nacalino Agriturismo does not offer daily evening dining services. Dinners are arranged only on special occasions, usually once or at most twice a week.

To give guests the chance to experience the local cuisine, tastings of traditional regional products can be organized upon request with a short notice. The selection includes Sicilian and Modican specialties such as scacce, arancine, olives, dried sausage, and cheeses, prioritizing products sourced from the surrounding area.

Rather than a typical restaurant service, this is a convivial occasion dedicated to discovering the flavors of the Iblei region, enjoyed in the peaceful and homely atmosphere of the farmhouse. Tastings are available by reservation, and dining services are exclusively for guests staying at the property.

Hey, I'm Concetta

Welcoming guests to Nacalino are Tina and Filippo, the owners of the farmhouse and key figures in its restoration. Since 2000, they have been running the business with a strong connection to the Modica countryside and local traditions, paying special attention to hospitality and the promotion of regional products. Their presence helps create a warm and genuine atmosphere: they are happy to recommend itineraries, beaches, villages, and places to explore nearby, tailoring their suggestions to the guests' interests. This care is also evident in the small daily gestures and in the preparation of many of the items served at breakfast, including homemade cakes and jams.

Area Campagna

Nacalino Agriturismo is situated in the countryside of Modica, in an especially convenient location for exploring southeastern Sicily, nestled among baroque towns, rural landscapes, and coastal spots of the Iblea area. The peacefulness of the countryside allows guests to stay away from busy areas while still having easy access to some of the most captivating destinations in the region.

Both Modica and Scicli, included in the UNESCO World Heritage site of Val di Noto, can be reached within about ten minutes by car. Modica enchants visitors with its historic center that climbs the hillside, its dramatic staircases, baroque churches, and its long-standing chocolate-making tradition. Scicli, on the other hand, features a charming and intimate old town characterized by noble palaces, churches, and views made famous by the TV series Inspector Montalbano.

Continuing to explore the area, Ragusa Ibla is approximately a half-hour away, offering a maze of narrow streets, baroque architecture, the Cathedral of San Giorgio, and the Iblei Gardens. Around forty minutes from here lies Noto, one of the finest examples of Sicilian baroque, renowned for its spectacular Cathedral and the elegant palaces lining the historic center.

The location also makes it easy to balance cultural outings with seaside days. Marina di Modica, Sampieri, and Pozzallo are all conveniently reachable by car and provide sandy beaches and long stretches of coastline. Traveling along the shore, you can also discover small fishing villages and some of the most picturesque coastal landscapes in the Ragusa area.

The surrounding countryside itself forms an important part of the experience. The Iblean landscape is marked by dry stone walls, carob trees, olive groves, and ancient stone farmhouses, all connected by secondary roads that allow for a leisurely exploration of the inland areas. This territory is also particularly interesting from a culinary perspective, with a tradition that includes cheeses, ricotta, olive oil, legumes, baked goods, and typical Modican specialties.

Throughout the year, Modica and nearby towns host religious festivals, cultural events, and celebrations tied to local traditions. Especially remarkable are the Easter festivities of the Madonna Vasa Vasa and the feasts dedicated to Saint George and Saint Peter. Thanks to its central position relative to the main attractions of the area, Nacalino serves as a convenient base from which to plan different itineraries each day, easily transitioning from baroque art to the countryside, and from the sea to the flavors of southeastern Sicily.
