Anime a Sud Modica

In the deep south of Italy, in the heart of Sicily, amidst the sun bleached baroque masterpieces of the ancient city of Modica, Anime a Sud is a unique guest house, inspired by the owner's passion for contemporary art, design and ecology.

Anime a Sud is the perfect urban retreat for today's independent and style conscious traveler, a contemporary Sicilian home in which to experience an enticing mélange of the past and present. The guest house is situated amidst the picturesque lanes and alleyways of Upper Modica and from the panoramic terraces there are stunning views of the Cathedral of San Giorgio and the old Jewish district of Cartellone.

Once inside Anime a Sud, the ancient charm of the baroque city makes way for the casual elegance of a modern home. The interiors are characterized by a mosaic of artworks, decorative pieces and contemporary designer furnishings, all of which combine perfectly with the building's antique doors, the bedside tables made from slabs of local pitch stone, and panels in traditional Sicilian majolica. The guest house, equipped with hotel-standard facilities, has two double bedrooms, making it ideal for 4 holidaymakers. A further 2 guests can be accommodated on a comfortable sofa bed.

The entrance lobby leads onto a large open-plan space with living, dining and kitchen areas, a bathroom, double bedroom and a panoramic balcony. A stairway leads up to the guest house's second bedroom with small balcony, bathroom and relaxation zone. Inspired by the feng-shui wellness philosophy, Anime a Sud has been realized using natural materials and the latest water and energy saving technology.

Adding yet further to the appeal of this truly unique Sicilian guest house, there is a sweeping terrace from which magnificent views of the historic center of Modica can be enjoyed. The terrace, furnished to function as stylish open-air lounge, provides an idyllic venue in which to relax on warm summer evenings.
