    We liked it all! When can we move in?

    We loved this property. It is well located to travel to the old town but also to have a wonderful view of the sunset. The owner is so friendly and will do anything at all to help and support you during you're stay - she is wonderful! The breakfast was excellent - varied and lots of choice - we just couldn't eat it all! This is definitely an excellent choice when you are staying in Ragusa.

    Carla our hostess was amazing and super friendly. Was in contact via WhatsApp before our arrival and during our stay. She tries hard to find answers and her English is quite good. Gave us good recommendations for dinner and sights to see. Great shower pressure. Excellent wifi. We have the bottom floor by entrance but was not bothered by much noise. Street was calm and peaceful around her house. They did great with remodeling the house with good soundproof. Breakfast was a nice touch with fresh fruits that I love. Parking safely was my top priority and we parked right outside our window in front of the house. Location is central to both old and new town. We enjoyed our multiple daily strolls to both towns. Was overall a very pleasant stay. I would highly recommend!

    Nope.

    Carla was a very attentive hostess. Great breakfast, fresh canoli by Carla, focaccia by her grandma, plus ham, cheese, fruit and last but not least superb Sicilian coffee. Mille grazie, Carla. The location is very comfy, equal short walk from both parts of Ragusa, places of interest and good eateries. Easy parking, right at the house, which is rare so near to the centre.

    I feel bad that we didn't pay more - this accommodation was excellent.

    This house is located in a valley between touristy Ragusa 'Ibla' and the larger Ragusa 'Superiore'. Unusually for Ragusa, this means that there is a lot of easy car parking nearby! The lady who welcomed us is extremely friendly and the next day she served an incredible breakfast - all sorts of local and home made delicacies. Our room was very comfortable. Of all the places we stayed in Sicily, the shower here had best flow and warmth. The place feels freshly-renovated. It was also extremely good value.

    Beautifully renovated and maintained property with easy walking distance to Ragusa Ibla with parking directly at the property. Carla was a lovely host recommending restaurants and making bookings for us. Easy access for those not not wanting to negotiate the narrow streets of Ragusa. Also a very generously sized rain shower.

    Super clean, very quiet and comfortable. Clara and her mother-in-law were wonderful and friendly hosts. We chose this place because of its location because we don’t like to drive through the narrow streets common in these old towns, and it was perfect. The place was very easy to reach by car, with lots of free parking just outside the building (at least in October). Half a block away there was a high speed charger for our rental EV. The location was also ideal to reach both lower and upper Ragusa by foot as the B&B sits at the neck joining the two, although you have to be prepared to walk about 15 minutes either way (going up for upper Ragusa). Breakfast was also good.

    These are not negatives but something to keep in mind: we arrived by train and had thought we would walk to our accommodation; take a taxi instead, it's hilly! Secondly we found it very easy to get lost which is always part of the adventure but be aware the map only provides details of a few streets.

    Carla was very helpful and prompt in replying to our requests using Whats App. The location is perfect and easy walking distance to all you want to see. Great breakfast was enjoyed as well.

    The Internet was a real problem. We never got it working on any of our three devices.

    Everything! Spotlessly clean, modern, comfortable. The situation was so close to everything with free parking outside. And to top it all the breakfast was the best ever, we couldn't do it justice. The typical Sicilian dishes which had been homemade were a real bonus.

    There weren't any negatives.

    The owner was super friendly and we were looked after really good. The service level was definitely over the expectations and place was really nice. We stayed three nights and overall experience was actually the best we had during our 12 nights in Sicily. Obviously the owner knows how hotels are managed and everything was done really well. The place had the conveniences of the hotel without loosing the coziness of the B&B.

    Small Breakfast. My advice is to just charge 5-10 euros extra and provide a more consistent breakfast. I usually choose accommodations that offer breakfast but it's really not worth it in Sicily. Just go to the supermarket and buy your food or go to a cafe and order your breakfast.

    Nice and clean room Nice lady that welcomed us to the property
