Moreover, you will be able to taste some the best Sicilian wines directly from the wine cellar which was initially a medieval crypt. For leisure moments, you can try some of the many liqueurs, drinks and cocktails the bar proposes, as well as scrumptious marzipan and chocolate of Modica, or lounge about at the outdoor swimming pool situated in the hotel garden.
