A completely new concept of holiday

Within the tumble of Modica's old, narrow streets and alleyways, right in the heart of the centro storico, Monoresort's apartments are a wonderful surprise. Rows of houses, up steps, down steps, some inhabited, some not, this is no designer village, it is a real authentic slice of town life, full of character and typical. All of the apartments are unique little townhouses, scattered throughout the centro storico, well away from one another, in secret corners and in terraces of other houses, so that you feel really immersed in local life.

This a completely new concept of holiday, where 17th century Baroque meets 21st century modern design and technology, the aim is privacy, supreme comfort and independence. Each apartment has been renovated to an exceptionally high standard - this is certainly '5-star' self-catering accommodation at its best.

Upon arrival, guests are even registered with an iPad, which they may use for free in the apartment or at the beach club, for the duration of their stay! In complete contrast to their quaint locations, these apartments are superlative examples of urban chic living and ultra-contemporary style. Enhancing the beautiful original architecture are designer furnishings, vibrant artworks, state-of-the-art shower rooms and more technological gismos than you can shake a hat at! The kitchen areas are small, but perfectly formed, a joy and stocked with a very appealing "Gentleman's Agreement Bar" - an honesty bar, to you and me!

All of the apartments have the service of an on-call personal concierge assistant, who will help guests get the best out of their stay - they can shop for you, book guided tours or restaurants for you... even bring you a pizza, if you like. Rarely will you have felt so well looked after... we could certainly get used to it!

This is a perfect holiday for those who love history, particularly the blend of old with ultra modern luxury, but also for those that love to sunbathe... the icing on this fabulous cake is Monoresort's very own fashionable and rather swish beach club, which also has a superb restaurant. For a small fee your personal assistant will ferry you to and fro. The sea is perfectly clear and the beach wide and sandy - heaven.
