Home description
Why not choose 'Timparuci' country house to enjoy a Sicilian holiday? Our 200 years old typical Sicilian stonehouse is located at 2km from Modica (UNESCO Patrimony of the Humanity) in the Sicily’s historic south-east district, best known for the Baroque architecture. It is currently being renovated and it will start receiving guests in July. It is the ideal place for discovering the enchantment of Modica, the charm of Noto, the suggestion of Sicily, as well as the wonderful Mediterranean sea.
The property is in an area of enchanting scenery, where hills stretch to the sea as far as the eyes can see and century-old carrubo trees dominate the landscape. We offer a warm welcome to our guests and our friends and the villa provides a family environment. The whole property is set in 2 hectares of grounds. From the swimming-pool you may enjoy a view of the Mediterranean sea which is 10km away. During the summer you can dine in the garden in your private area. From the pool set you may enjoy a fascinating view on the Mediterranean sea.

The Sicily region

It is the home of Mount Etna, arguably Europe’s greatest natural wonder, stunning beaches, tranquil vineyards, and ancient olive groves. From strolling through age-old ruins in Catania to spending lazy afternoons on the beaches of Palermo,a villa in Sicily can fulfil your every need.
Explore Messina’s unique Gothic architecture and enjoy its famous olive oil like a local and cook at home in your own self-catered rental villa. Whether you yearn to be surrounded by fragrant orange and lemon orchards on the coast, lush forests in the north-east or the rugged land and rolling hills of the central regions a holiday rental villa in Sicily awaits you.
Modica area
If you’re looking for a quiet getaway Modica may be the place for you, with its small population and secluded, clean beaches it could be the perfect getaway. Modica is simply jaw-droppingly beautiful. Having been destroyed by a huge earthquake in 1693, the whole town was rebuilt in a Baroque style, giving it a unique, unified style. The town clings to the side of a gorge, with houses, churches and palaces seemingly built on top of each other in a shambolic yet truly appealing style. Modica is off the beaten track in Sicily, which is a huge surprise, yet a real advantage for those who do travel to a Modica villa as the culture is completely untainted. Walking through the town upon your arrival is a real treat. The whole region has been placed on the UNESCO World Heritage area, with 18 specific buildings placed under protection by them. You will certainly be inspired by the brilliance and beauty of the town, especially when you discover the Duomo di San Giorgio and San Pietro, the Castello della Contea and the astonishing Barocco buildings
The beaches that surround Modica are beautifully empty all year round. The lack of tourist crowds mean that the beaches are clean and secluded, perfect for lazy days in the sun. Tourist facilities are thin on the beaches, but if you want to go sailing or scuba diving, there are ample opportunities.
The secluded nature of the town has meant that the culture is quite unique to Modica. The dialect can be hard for even Italians to understand, and the dishes served in the restaurants, including panatigghie, a pastry filled with meat, cinnamon and cocoa, cannot be found anywhere else. If you will stay in Timparuci holiday farmhouse, a tour of local restaurants will be a fantastic experience, and if you are feeling adventurous, there are plenty of opportunities to take a recipe and re-create Modica cuisine in your own, self catering accommodation.

Guestbook for Timparuci country house
Wonderful place, Beautiful People !
My children and I, came to Sicily from the U.S., we traveled around the whole island, and stayed in various places. Our favourite place was ANTICA MASSERIA TIMPARUCI. It was the first place we stayed that we felt we could just relax, instead of wanting to leave and explore. We felt right at home and we were taken care of by the owners and thier help. We would highly recommend these accommodations and would want to come back to stay for a longer time. The town is famous for it's chocolate, so if you are going to Sicily, this place is a definite place to stop, relax, eat chocolate and see some amazing Churches! We stayed at other B&B's, a hotel and hostel's, this place is a better price for the quality and serinity you will receive.
