About this place
This two-storey semi-detached house is nestled in a peaceful and panoramic area of Modica, a town steeped in history, culture, and natural beauty. The property features two separate apartments: the ground floor includes a garage, kitchen, bedroom, and a terrace boasting beautiful views of the city and surrounding hills.
On the first floor, you'll find another apartment with a kitchen, living room, and a double bedroom, leading to a delightful balcony. Currently, the owner, Anna, has combined the two levels into a spacious family-oriented home with the ground floor serving as a large living area perfect for entertaining friends and family. The upstairs retains the bedrooms, providing comfort for her children during their visits.
To accommodate long stays with her children and grandchildren, Anna has incorporated functional and clever furniture solutions, creating independent spaces as needed. This feature not only enhances family convenience but also presents potential for generating rental income through short-term lets. Embrace a life immersed in Modica's beauty, with leisurely strolls by the sea, enchanting sunsets from the terrace, and the warmth of a home filled with family.

Buying property in Italy
Italy is open to most foreign buyers under reciprocity rules (EU/EEA buyers always; non-EU buyers from countries with bilateral agreements, which covers the UK, US, Canada, Australia and most major markets). A codice fiscale is required, and a notaio handles the conveyance as a neutral public official. An independent lawyer or geometra is strongly recommended for due diligence.
The €1 home schemes in southern villages are real but come with strict renovation deadlines (typically 3 years) and security deposits.
Non-resident mortgages from Italian banks are available but limited (typically 50–60% LTV).
The prima casa (primary residence) tax rate of 2% requires you to declare residency in the same comune within 18 months of completion — failure means back-taxes plus penalties.
General guidance only — confirm specifics with a qualified local lawyer or tax adviser. Reference
