Casa Talía

Slowliving in Modica, Sicily

ABOUT THE HOTEL

Talía is a fascinating place, an island on the island, where harmony is the main protagonist, thanks to the meticulous restoration by the two owners, Marco Giunta and Viviana Haddad – a couple of young married architects from Milan who decided to live in Modica choosing slowliving over city life.

The restoration of the rooms has been inspired by the unique features of Arabic houses in the Medina providing peaceful spaces in the heart of a busy town.

Like a Moroccan riad, rooms in Talia are independent and do not communicate, but they all face the central garden which is an important element of the space and a place for encounters.

Great attention has been given to the choise of materials, which are natural, ecological, and, above all, typical of the Sicilian tradition: stone walls, lime plasters, cane roof, stone and polychrom tiled floors.

Talía offers its guests a different concept of holiday: a truly “emotional experience”, of living in lovingly restored, unique and unusual spaces each of which offers an unforgettable experience and memory.

All the rooms, in their colours and atmospheres, are inspired by the places of the Mediterranean and the cultures that have left their mark in the land of Sicily. Each room is equipped with all home comforts including air conditioning, safe, digital terrestrial TV, Internet connection, minibar and a private entrance with an electronic key card.
