Not only has modicasa helped hundreds of foreigners find, buy and then live in Sicily, but for those of you who are looking to buy outside our area, there is also a best selling guide available. Buying in Sicily 2026 is now in its 15th edition and is an indispensable guide for anyone thinking of making the move to Sicily.
Modica is one of the UNESCO baroque towns. Although with roots in prehistory, the town you see today was born after the earthquake of 1693 which shook the whole of south eastern Sicily. Built along the riverbeds, and scrambling up the hillsides, Modica is a picturesque and unique city, which offers suprises at every turn. Ideally placed to reach the other baroque towns of Ragusa, Scicli, Noto and Siracusa, Modica remains more untouched by tourism than most, and it remains a living, working town rather than an open air museum.
We aim to provide a wholly transparent service so you, the client, knows what is happening at all times and decisions are yours
We are proud to be recognised not only by our clients but also by locals and Italians who appreciate our honesty. We won't tell you necessarily what you want to hear, but it will be the truth.
We are not affiliated to a national chain or franchise. We do not work with mortgage providers or have in house architects or engineers. This means we can be completely independent, and while we can recommend professionals we are not bound to anyone.
Ramsay Gilderdale ended up in Sicily after a successful career as an actor and writer in the UK, first stopping off in Naples for 5 years to teach English and dabble in theatre. After having seen how foreigners were treated by local agents, he decided to do it himself… did the course, took the exams and received his licence to practise. Now, nearly 20 years later, he is the author of two best selling property guides.
