Description
Modica, the European capital of chocolate and baroque beauty, described by Nobel laureate Salvatore Quasimodo as “the city of terraces and 17th-century churches, with a vision of towns and seas. ” With its elegant UNESCO World Heritage monuments, its unique Mediterranean light, and its world-famous traditional sweets, Modica is one of the jewels of the Val di Noto and an unmissable stop for anyone exploring southeastern Sicily.
‘A Lecca e ‘a Mecca – Sicilian Hospitality welcomes you right in the heart of the historic center, in a peaceful panoramic setting. Housed in a charming early-20th-century residence, recently restored, it preserves the sounds, scents, and timeless atmosphere of the past. A perfect retreat for families seeking the comfort of home, for business travelers, or for couples looking for a romantic escape.
The property offers two independent, cozy apartments: the first-floor apartment accommodates up to three guests, while the second-floor apartment is ideal for two. Larger groups of up to five can rent both units together.
Each apartment is fully equipped with a kitchen, air conditioning/heating, TV, free Wi-Fi, washing machine, iron and ironing board, plus either a balcony or a private terrace. Guests also have access to a shared lounge with a reading corner and a selection of guides and brochures to help discover Modica and its surroundings.
And because holidays are even better when shared, your four-legged friends are more than welcome! For any information or special requests, feel free to get in touch. We are happy to assist you in Italian, English, or French.

'A Mecca is an excellent accommodation and Letizia is a warm and welcoming host and is easy to communicate with. She also maintains the flat very well. Staying there was a very comfortable experience. I'd recommend 'A Mecca to anyone visiting Modica.

Unfortunately, my husband and I only spent the weekend and slept for just one night in Modica. But this beautiful structure, clean, comfortable, recently renovated, and reflecting the fresh and friendly spirit of its owner Letizia, allowed us to relax and immerse ourselves in the life of this historic town. In fact, it is located near a parking lot, the shopping street with various restaurants, bars, chocolate shops. A stone's throw from the famous San Giorgio Cathedral and the many other sites and monuments. A special mention deserves the apartment's terrace from which you can enjoy a truly unique and suggestive panorama.

My husband and I stayed 11 days in the apartment A Lecca and 'a Mecca - a perfect place in Modica in the historic part of the town and close to the vibrant city center. We had a wonderful stay in the beautiful apartment where everything you need is available. We enjoyed cooking our own meals and spending time on the large terrace with the fantastic view of the old town. Modica has its own baroque beauties (must see) but it is also a perfect base for exploring the other baroque towns of Val di Noto. Thank you Letizia for being such a wonderful host. You and Vincenzo made our stay in the apartment and in Modica unforgettable.
