This hotel is excellent in every way. Staff, rooms, owner, breakfast, restaurants, location. Mr Failla takes great pride in his home converted to a hotel and he sets the standard for his staff who as a group are anxious to help you enjoy your stay. He went out of his way to provide directions to the Occipinti winery in Vittoria which I would never have found without his help. I ate in their non Michelin rated restaurant and service/food was both exceptional and reasonably priced. It's hard to imagine that the other is even better. There wasn't anything I didn't like about Palazzo Faille

An extremely friendly, family-run hotel where nothing was too much trouble - all of the staff were lovely. The restuarant attached to the hotel is also superb and would be happy to highly recommend it. The only very small thing I would have changed would have been to have a room with a bigger bathroom and a bath in it instead of just a shower.

Found the hotel easily with 'tomtom' and parked right outside, but there is a valet who will park your car for you as depends when you get there, you are in a very busy street.Hotel is very traditional,with an air of 'old elegance'.Checked in quickly and reseptionist was very pleasant and spoke English.Room was at the back of the hotel, with a very small terrace, but ideal if you wanted to smoke, or sit with a drink.Spacious room, with a sofa, desk, and tv with a couple of English channels which is a big 'plus' in Sicily.Large shower room, with lots of lovely toiletries, big bath towels etc. Extremely quiet hotel, no banging doors!Breakfast was delicious,a large table full of lovely hams, cheeses, breads etc, and then cereals, fruit, yoghurts etc, and the most fantastic pastries, but the best thing was the charming room you ate in, just so lovely to sit and relax first thing.Waiter service for your coffee/tea etc.Loved it! Free WiFi, and mini bar in room.Nice crisp sheets on bed and every night a 'chocolate' would appear from nowhere on the pillow ( nice touch) Small coffee shop/bar/cafe next to the reception which was quaint and we had a couple of drinks in there before we went to eat at the 'sister' restaurant, just across the road.Excellent meal, very well priced. Hotel and staff are just charming.

This hotel is an absolute jewel. The rooms are magnificent and the hotel exudes Scililian charm. We liked it so much we stayed an extra night and changed our itinery around. We stayed in a few good hotels whilst in Sicily but this has to be the best, particularly for overall value, Breakfast was great too. Highly recommended

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!

A truly fantastic hotel, one of the nicest I have stayed at in Europe. The friendliness and helpfulness of the staff was an absolute highlight. I would not be hesitating to stay at this hotel next time we are in Modica.

Extremely friendly and helpful staff who really care about your welfare, individual nature of hotel, lovely rooms, very clean, choice of dining, located in a very interesting town and area, excellent value overall Located in narrow streets with traffic very closeby, no garden area to sit, parking can be difficult but the staff will park your car for you which takes some of the pressure away

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.

This is an outstanding hotel where both the service and the rooms are nearly beyond description. The staff would bend over backwards to help you find what you want or accommodate your wishes. The rooms are a spectacular combination of palatial comfort and modern amenities. The hotel itself would be a destination to seek out even if one does not have any other reason to go to Modica.

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.

Palazzo Failla is a most wonderful place to stay in Modica actually one of the best we stayed in Sicily. The room was tastefuly decorated with lots of respect to its past glory, it was comfortable, the bathroom amenities are indulging, breakfast was rich and tasty. But most of all, the staff and owners mke this hotel amost recommended one, they are warm and helpful, ready to help on every matter, one can easily see that they care for their establishment and guests. For us it was a 5* experience.

Das Frühstück war sehr gut. Kann mich nur zum Frühstücksraum äußern, da wir - leider ohne uns vorher zu informieren, dass das Hotel selbst ausgebucht ist - in der Dependence untergebracht wurden. Das Zimmer dort war nur mit künstlichem Licht zu bewohnen, zwar komfortabel, aber nicht mit dem versprochenen Hotelzimmer ( u.a.mit Balkon) übereinstimmte. Offensichtliche waren wir nicht die ersten Gäste, die diese Erfahrung machen mussten. Schade!

Palazzo antico in zona relativamente centrale. Camera in stile rococò, perfettamente accessoriata (saponi doccia dell'Occitane al profumo di verbena) e molto romantica. Personale efficiente e preparato, con la squisita cortesia tipica della Sicilia. Trattamento da 5 stelle con il prezzo da 3: sicuramente un posto dove trascorrere una lunga vacanza, accuditi e coccolati. Fantastici I cioccolatini della buona notte in cioccolato modicano. Forse le camere sulla strada sono un po' rumorose, perchè gli infissi sono rigorosamente in stile con l'arredo, ma è ben piccolo difetto, in confronto all'atmosfera di tutto l'albergo

Niente di particolare, la pretesa dei propritari di ritenersi una famiglia importante. Le camere considerate standard e romantica mansarda in effetti sono piccole e male arredate,in particolare la 207. La cosa spiacevole il costo che non riflette la qualità.

Dell'hotel ho apprezzato soprattutto la raffinatezza degli ambienti e la cura dei particolari; inoltre la direzione si avvale di uno staff professionalmente valido e che si rapporta ai clienti con gentilezza e cortesia. La colazione, servita in un ambiente curato e ricercato, non ha deluso le aspettative:proposte di ottima qualità e ben presentate

Il palazzo,ristrutturato con la massima cura fin nel particolare, è dotato di camere arredate con molto gusto, è tutto estremamente pulito. Il servizio in camera è rapido . Il personale, tutto, in particolare la receptionist, è gentilissimo e ti mette a tuo agio fin dal primo momento. La colazione in una bella sala, è ricca e variegata. I signori Failla, proprietari, sono stati gentilissimi e di grande aiuto per organizzare ogni giorno gite anche fuori dai tragitti classici. Consiglierei questo albergo a chi come noi è esigente e vuole trascorrere una vacanza piacevole in una terra indimenticabile
