Palazzo Failla Hotel  

Historic building

Windy day and at night time there was noice in the corridor, there was a small service door that was keeping opening and closing

The attention of the hotel staff was superb. They helped us in everything we needed, and the hotel is beautiful and very care.

The noise in the rooms from outside, but the staff solved us that problem.

Absolutely excellent staff (and owner, who gave us a lift one day!). The people at reception and in the bar were always extemely polite, proactive, smiling and really happy to help. The rooms were elegant, comfortable and fully-functioning and the breakfasts copious. One of the best hotels I have stayed in for many a year, largely thanks to the fabulous welcome.

Nothing negative to say! All excellent!

People was very friendly

It is noisy from the street

We loved the beautiful old rooms and the excellent bathrooms. The restaurant is superb. The staff were delightful.

Unfortunately the bedrooms can be noisy as the hotel is on a busy corner, but it is well worth staying.

Very personal service. Perfect location in historic town of Modica. Beautiful quality boutique hotel and restaurants. Modica is a beautiful town full of history, facinating buildings built on cliff faces so lots of narrow streets and hundreds of steps. Also 20 mins from lovely sandy beaches. Serviced if you require them. Lots of quality restaurants serving quality natural food and wine. Nearby towns of scicili, Ragusa and siracusa are a must visit. Even the drive from Palermo airport passes the most stunning scenery as the elevated motorway snakes over valleys and through mountain tunnels.

English is often not spoken or understood so depending upon your view or situation will either be an enjoyable challenge or a frustration. We sometimes received a laziness from locals not trying to communicate at times because it was effort. But not a biggy. Must have a car. Stairs could be a problem. Spa equipment didnt work which wasn't an issue but could be as they advertise that side of things too heavily.

The staff of this hotel was very kind...always taking care of You. The best choice in order to know Modica based in a Palace.

This is a small, beautiful and extraordinarily well-run hotel. Staff was eager to help us in any way, including parking our car (gratis) and then offering to drive us from upper Modica to lower Modica and back. Accomodations run from excellent to luxurious. The breakfast buffet was sumptuous. We ate dinner in the hotel's 'second-tier' restaurant, dal Colonello, and found a fabulous menu and wine list, and all the food expertly prepared. One usually has to choose between Noto and Modica to see a certain quality of Sicilian baroque architecture and decoration. This hotel is one, very good reason to choose Modica. I recommend Palazzo Failla unreservedly.

We spent three nights at Palazzo Failla Hotel (superior room). We were impressed by its refined and noble quality in all aspects and details of tasteful design, service, breakfast and dinner. The hotel staff was very friendly. Modica is a "pearl" amongst the southeast Sicilian baroque cities and there is a lot to discover. The Palazzo Failla Hotel is outstanding and setting standards in all respects. German/Swedish couple/February 2011

In today's world of mass consumption and sameness, it is lovely to find somewhere that stands out. The Palazzo Failla hotel is not only a beautiful building with a lovely air and atmosphere situated in the old town of Modica, it is also staffed by professionals. We were treated like royalty; so much so that it was hard to leave. Every single person we encountered was friendly, courteous, and happy to answer even the most trivial of questions. For the first time in a long time, I felt like an honoured guest rather than simply the occupant of a room. A wonderful experience.

It was too short. Try as I might, I can't fault the hotel or the staff on anything. Excellent value, excellent location, excellent staff. I can recommended it unreservedly and will definitely be back.

Il palazzo è restaurato magnificamente con gran gusto, la colazione è strepitosa per la qualità e l'abbondanza.

Purtroppo la camera prenotata (nella foto) non corrispondeva a quella assegnataci. Seppur bella e molto accogliente era nella dependance e non nel palazzo principale.

Suggestivo hotel al centro di Modica

Lo staff è di una gentilezza squisita, il palazzo e le camere sono splendidi, I prezzi molto convenienti, ed è davvero encomiabile l'attenzione ai dettagli e a tutte quelle piccole cose che rendono piacevole il soggiorno. Uno dei migliori hotel in cui abbiamo soggiornato, e in una posizione ideale per visitare Modica e le città del barocco siciliano. Raccomandatissimo ai gourmet: ottimo il ristorante "La gazza ladra", che meriterebbe un'altra stella Michelin oltre a quella che già ha, e assolutamente deliziosa la colazione a buffet.
