In the heart of the historic center of Modica, in eastern Sicily, Villa Petra stands on an ancient rock settlement.
The ground floor entirely dug into the rock dates back to ancient times. The first floor and the outer stairs are more recent.
The design project focused on the conversion of the building into a vacation rental villa, trying to respect the place as much as possible and to minimize works, studying a new internal layout and redeveloping the MEP system. The detailed design of the custom-made furnishings, lights, outdoor, with heated pool and dining area, the typology of furniture and greenery chosen create a contemporary and welcoming environment, integrated with the uniqueness of the place.
