Description

Situated in the heart of the countryside of Modica, in an elevated, charming position, the agriturismo "Il Melograno" is a perfect place to relax and experience the tranquillity of nature.

This family-run holiday farm, an old rural house recently refurbished with the walls preserving the typical local stones, offers friendly and quality service in an informal atmosphere.

The comfortable, air-conditioned bedrooms are all en-suite with bath and shower; some of them also include a cooking area.

The rooms, overlooking the valleys of the Ibleo plateau, are surrounded by a large courtyard and a garden where you can directly pick fruit in season: pomegranates, kakis, oranges, figs, prickly pears.

The adjacent, country-style restaurant, serves traditional food, prepared with the natural products grown in the farm. Our guests can enjoy the typical dishes of the local gastronomy, such as "cavatieddi" and "ravioli di ricotta", that is homemade pasta served with tomato sauce and pork meat; pulses soups with slices of homemade bread; the typical "scacce" and "pastizza" cooked in stone ovens; "arancini", an excellent rotisserie product; local cheeses; olives; traditional sweet specialities.

Conveniently situated just a few miles from many tourist destinations, the agriturismo "Il Melograno" is also an ideal touring base for exploring the surrounding area and visiting the baroque towns of Modica, Ragusa Ibla, Scicli and Noto, the archaeological sites of Cava d'Ispica and Camarina and the seaside resorts of Marina di Modica and Sampieri, where you can enjoy the facilities of some bathing establishments that have an agreement with the holiday farm.

Wonderful farmhouse in the countryside of Modica, a peaceful place to relax and disconnect. Mrs Ivana is welcoming, kind and attentive; in short, fantastic. Lunches and dinners are excellent and plentiful, all made with their own products; the ricotta freshly prepared on site is fabulous. Highly recommended.

Special place. Ivana is a host with hospitality in her blood. Very kind, always helpful and an outstanding cook! Fresh, abundant and delicious breakfasts. Rich and exquisite dinners. All local products and homemade food. The rooms are spotlessly clean and the agriturismo is peaceful, set in the Modica countryside. Modica is 15 minutes by car. A strategic location for visiting the entire Ionian coast from Syracuse to Capo delle Correnti. I highly recommend it and hope to return again.

If you want peace and quiet, fresh air and a starry sky, it's the perfect place. Ivana is the best example of hospitality and kindness, always helpful and an excellent cook.

The structure is set in an oasis of peace and tranquility in the countryside of Ragusa. Far from the noises of the city, recommended if you want to see the starry sky at night and hear the sounds of nature. The rooms are furnished in old Sicilian style, clean and functional with a small fridge and TV. For breakfast, there are excellent cakes prepared by Ivana, who runs the place with great professionalism, cordiality, and never fails to give you a little pampering. You can also dine in the evening with excellent local products. Recommended for the excellent hospitality and value for money.

A corner of peace immersed in nature. We stayed for two nights in a delightful little house surrounded by nature, enveloped in tranquility. The accommodation was very quiet, ideal for resting and rejuvenating. The bed and pillows were really comfortable, ensuring a perfect night's sleep. The room was very spacious and well-kept, and the large outdoor space made the experience even more enjoyable, allowing us to fully appreciate the fresh air. I highly recommend this agriturismo to anyone seeking relaxation, comfort, and authentic contact with nature. I would gladly return!

Review Agriturismo "Il Melograno" – Stay from 11.06 to 13.06.2025. We stayed at Agriturismo Il Melograno from June 11 to June 13, 2025, and we were simply wonderful. We chose this property for its ideal location, perfect for organizing day trips to nearby cities. From the very first moment, we felt welcomed in a family-friendly and well-kept environment. A special thank you goes to Mrs. Ivana, who manages the property with a cordiality and passion that are truly rare. Besides her kindness, her cooking skills should also be highlighted: we expressed the desire to taste the hot ricotta, and although it was not planned at that time, she prepared it especially for us. Delicious! In general, Agriturismo Il Melograno is highly recommended for those looking for authenticity, human warmth, and excellent cuisine. One thing is certain: if we return to the area, there will only be this property for us. Thank you again, Mrs. Ivana, for making us feel at home!

Melograna agriturismo is a little paradise in Sicily. Ivana is a great cook and her hospitality is outstanding. We enjoyed our stay every day and saw this as one of the highlights of our trip to Sicily. Next time we go to Sicily, this place will certainly be again on our list of places to stay.

What can I say? Ivana welcomed us as if we were family. The place is welcoming, clean, and in the countryside, just the way we liked it. Ivana is a person you don't find anymore. She puts you at ease right away by advising you on what to do. We had dinner twice at the agriturismo and highly recommend it. Highly recommended place.

Let us start by saying one thing: we are in open countryside, harsh and fascinating, between Modica, Scicli and Ragusa. Therefore, the judgment must be given taking these characteristics into consideration. I stayed for three days and experienced three days of true Sicily. Here we go with a sword and not with a foil. Abundant breakfasts, dinners with local products and a magical atmosphere. Ivana puts competence and passion into what she does and the results are excellent. To be tried and tried again!

The Melograno is a timeless place, immersed in the Sicilian countryside and strategically located to visit the most suggestive seaside places on the island's southeast coast. Here tradition meets the professionalism and kindness of Ivana. Her welcome and availability throughout the stay were indescribable. Superb breakfast and dinner. Attentive and capable of finding alternative menus suitable for every need. We will certainly come back to visit her because we could not have had a better vacation. Thank you Ivana! ❤️

Rustic structure, a real full immersion in Sicily. The countryside around is wonderful; the breakfast products are at zero kilometers, some at zero meters. Even dinner is special, with many typical products. We were greeted by Ivana with great hospitality and cordiality! The structure, even though in the Ragusa countryside, is very convenient for visiting Modica, Ragusa Ibla, Noto, the Vendicari Reserve. We even went as far as Syracuse. I highly recommend the structure.

The structure is located in the typical Modican countryside characterized by low dry stone walls that divide the plots where the typical carob trees are present, and this is why we liked the B&B "Il Melograno". In addition, there is the central position with respect to the Baroque cities we wanted to visit: Modica, Ragusa, Scicli, Noto. Furthermore, we were "overwhelmed" by the courtesy, availability, and competence of Ivana who pampered us throughout the period. We could not taste all the specialties proposed for dinner but we emphasize the high quality of the ingredients, one above all the fresh ricotta inside the cannoli, not to mention the abundant and tasty breakfasts. Vittoria and Ampelio.

The structure is welcoming and the management is excellent. The dinners, booked in advance, taste homemade with typical dishes and products of the area. Ivana is always available to meet any need, provide information on places to see, and even cook you a special off-menu dish. The value for money is excellent.

Fully satisfied. The Agriturismo Il Melograno consists of a series of restored rural buildings and is located in the open countryside, in a place that allows you to fully appreciate the beautiful Modica landscape and its tranquility. The strengths of the agriturismo are the kindness and availability of the managers, who take care of the guests. In case of meals at the property, rustic appetizers (made with great attention to local products, such as Russian wheat or cooked fava beans) and homemade sweets in the morning are recommended.
