    Nothing. Having to leave!!

    Our second return stay and pleased to see exactly as we remember. Beautiful location and wonderful staff. The most delicious breakfast, and fabulous location right in centre of Ragusa Ibla. Lovely to park the car, following their instructions and then just walk for a few days around the beautiful area. You must do the tour that Carmela recommends as it was so interesting.

    We have no complaints whatsoever.

    Beautiful small-scale B&B with excellent facilities. We really enjoyed the pool and 'relaxation' area. Breakfasts were excellent. Staff/owners were very friendly and helpful. Location gave great access to the old town of Ibla. Parking was available in public area (plenty of space even at height of tourist season in mid-August) and was free.

    Small room but adequate and clean, Location was perfect! Parking was easy. 2 minute walk to the town. The pool area is one of the most unique pools we’ve been in it was so peaceful and relaxing. The breakfast was the best breakfast we had in our two week trip to Sicily. The ricotta cheese was outstanding. Wish we could have stayed longer! Highly recommend!

    This is a fabulous little guest house 5 mins walk from the middle of Ragusa Ibla. There are only 4 rooms but the gardens and terraces are beautiful. Very private and relaxing. The daily breakfast is a Sicilian feast and the owners are so kind and helpful. We stayed for 6 days and it is perfect as a base to visit other local towns but we were quite happy to spend the odd afternoon lounging around in the garden or recharging our batteries in the hammocks with a cool drink.

    The location of this hotel is absolutely perfect, ideally situated just a short stroll from everything in the charming Ibla district. You’ll be immersed in the heart of Ragusa with easy access to all the sights. A highlight was the traditional Sicilian breakfast, which added such a lovely local touch to our stay – the flavors were delightful! The hosts were exceptionally warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The facilities exceeded expectations, offering a perfect blend of comfort and tranquility. The beautiful garden, relaxing hot tub, and serene yard with a waterfall created a peaceful retreat where we could unwind after a day of exploring. It was truly an unforgettable experience!

    Not much to say here - maybe just that the bed was a little hard - if you like this type of bed then it’s not a big deal.

    The best breakfast we had in Sicily - Fantastic fresh and warm ricotta, home made pistachio paste with tasty buns, delicious deserts. The sunrise view from the pool and breakfast area was excellent. The staff was super friendly and nice. Location - right in the edge of the old town but not on the main busy road so it was quiet and peaceful and night.

    Leaving. Ragusa is lovely after the business of some other towns in Sicily.

    The B&B is fantastic. Our rooms were lovely as is the garden area and pool especially since it was so hot! The breakfast is a treat for the taste buds as well. What makes it extra special are the family who run it. Carmela, her sister Giovanna and niece Leisa. They went out of their way when Aul had to go to hospital for stitches in his foot. Can’t thank them enough. Preggio 🙏

    We had the best time, Lisa and Jane provide the best and biggest breakfast we have ever tasted in Sicily, the vegan breakfast is a must. Lovely people who are always smiling and happy to chat and share local knowledge. The property outside is the best bit - beautiful gardens, pool, jacuzzi, with chillout areas. Breakfast is served outside too overlooking the valley with spectacular views. Perfect location in old Ragusa, only a short walk to the main square.
