Bottom Line

This upper-middle-range, modern boutique property is a rarity in this part of Sicily where older hotels are the norm. The stylish rooms are decorated in a minimalist fashion (some might call it spartan). Amenities include a large pool with a hot tub and a restaurant that serves a gourmet take on Sicilian dishes. While the location is a bit remote, it’s a good base for exploring the southeastern part of the island. The resort is a popular spot for weddings, which can sometimes get noisy late at night.

Oyster Hotel Review

Pietre Nere Resort

Scene

Modern, chic, and a popular place for events

It’s no surprise that this hotel is a popular space for events. It has a chic and trendy style with walls of glass, low black and white seats in front of coffee tables on marble floors. The lobby is filled with chocolate-colored light box columns covered in illuminated confetti-like dots, a motif that’s repeated in the hotel bar. The pool area is landscaped with palm trees and white lounge chairs, and the grounds have walls and pathways made of chalky off-white stone that blend into the surrounding arid landscape.

Location

In the countryside, a 15-minute drive from Modica

The property is located in the countryside on the outskirts of Modica, which is about 15 minutes by car. The resort offers a free shuttle service twice daily to the historic center. For travelers with a car, the property is well situated for exploring the southern coast as well as the town of Ragusa, which is 40 minutes away. Catania's Fontanarossa Airport is an 80-minute drive from the hotel. Parking at the hotel is free.

Rooms

Modern, minimalist, stark white rooms

The 30 air-conditioned rooms at Pietre Nere Resort are furnished in a modern and minimalist style that’s not quite as luxuriously trendy as the rest of the hotel, but follows the same bright white color scheme. All rooms are located in a single building, while the Junior Suite -- a two-room apartment -- is located in an outbuilding in the resort’s courtyard. All rooms have flat-screen TVs, minibars, safes, and hairdryers, and there are large, clean bathrooms with small stall showers. While guest rooms are certainly modern, the minimalist look and lack of wall art can make them look spartan.
