Villa Del Lauro

"Attention : the receptionist is a big liar ! The guy working at the reception is a disaster. He is dishonest and tried to charge twice the normal price for taxi that we ordered which was already over priced (130€ for 30 minutes ride vs. 60€ normal price) against huge commission from taxi company. Furthermore, they tried to charge the minibar which was free. The receptionist showed unwillingness when we left the luggage at the reception upon check out, even though it was to store for just a few hours, time to visit the old town. He put lots of pressure for check out time even it was about 11:10 and wanted to ask us to pay extra. There was no wifi nor air conditioning in the room which was literally a small cave. No fresh air in the room and impossible to get hot water for baby in the room. In addition, they forgot to put baby cot and charged additional fee for it (first time in Sicily during our 2-week trip). The only positive thing is that the servers for breakfast were very nice and helpful and there is a nice pool. It’s a pity that it’s ruined by the receptionists who were unfriendly, unhelpful and rude. The hotel’s management should alert the receptionists and give them a proper training."

Casato Licitra

Aura Club - Villa Carlotta

"Fantastic structure, we stayed for 3 days and tried the couple massage that I strongly recommend! The owner boy is very nice and nice, but the chilli on the cake is the kitchen managed by Chief Cavalli person in a way and a real professional in the industry! We have been really good! We will surely return"

Acacia Marina

"Lovely hotel a few minutes from sandy beach. 2 good sized pools 1 over 12s only + jacuzzis. Our room with a side seaview was a good size with full length and breadth window/glass door and good bathroom and good a/c. Worth extra money if you intend to sit out/spend time in your room or on balcony. Buffet breakfast well managed with tables cleared & relayed promptly as with the wide vatiety of breskfast items which included cook to order egg/omlette/panckes. We went half board and enjoyed the variety - different every night with typically a fish, meat and pasta dish cooked for you in a few minutes. A wide selection of savoury and sweet items again different every night. Majorty of guests used the many different restsurants in the area which those we spoke to said were good. Well staffed - waiters were charming and helpful particularly Giuseppe and Benjamin who always had time to say hello. Reception staff were helpful as was Jet2 rep who was from the local area so very knowledgable. Sadly it was a bit too hot for us to do the trips on offer to several historical sites. Would recommend the afternoon/ early evening speedboat trip which we were offered. . The journey from airport is just over 2 hours but does give you a chance to see some more of Sicilly. We were 2 sisters recently retired"

Palazzo Antoci

"Amazing B & B. The hotel which was a palace dating back to the 1700's. It was incredible expeirence in many ways. The family that owned the property from it inception still lives there and operates it as a hotel. The Baroness, is a charming and hospitable host. She treats you like a house guest..nothing is top much. The staff there is limited but very helpful and engaging. Beautiful spacious rooms full of original furniture. The hotel is like a museum."

Poggio Del Sole Hotel

" Poggio del Sole Hotel Is a hotel of contradiction with impressive and grossly unimpressive features. The hotel is very large considering its remote, rural location. The foyer area is enormous with a large comfortable lounge area. There are numerous large dining areas and you can also eat by the side of the large pool. The pool also has a bar so you can order drinks and snacks. The decor is tasteful with wooden reproductions of a variety of cactus plants including the prickly pear, a noxious **** in Australia but its fruit is used to flavour spirits in Sicily. All sounds very impressive and favourable so far. So how do most people spend most of their time besides sleeping? Browsing the Internet on their phones and iPads. Whilst “free WiFi” signs are common in hotels, cafes etc., it is now a universal expectation. With this in mind, efficient internet connectivity is both mandatory and essential. During our two day stay, WiFi was generally unavailable. To make matters worse, the restaurant menu was only available electronically and there were no paper back up menus. Selecting a food choice from an invisible menu is a challenge. Understandably the restaurant staff seemed to be in a permanent state of stress. The food was very good but a prayer may be needed to get what you ordered. Oh! yes. The rooms are large and have all the expected facilities except for drink making items. Large bed but with 3-stars for comfort. Large bathroom, hot water but wafer thin towels. So lots of pluses, a few minor negatives and the WiFi issue may not be a regular problem (suspect it is), restaurants have atmosphere and reasonable food so just remember to bring a book to read for when your mobile device is inoperative."

Relais Antica Badia - San Maurizio 1619

"Great location and unique rooms. Wonderful breakfast selection"

B&B Giardino di Pietra

"We were looking for a place where we can stay like a local in Ragusa Ibla, and we found the perfect place in this charming B&B. It is within a short distance walk to all the shops, cafes and restaurants, and we were really living amongst the locals. We had booked our room through ***********, and the B&B communicated with us right after, with instructions on parking etc. The owner (Simone) was very polite and helpful. He helped us with our parking, and gave us a lift from the parking space to the property in his cool little car! Our room (Comfort Double Room) was amazingly spacious and comfortable. We had a little balcony looking out to the cobbled street below and over the roofs of all the houses around. The bathroom and room were well cleaned, shower was strong, and all the amenities were sufficient and working well. Breakfast was superb and Simone's presentation of all the delicacies was an art in itself. The dining area was amazing; overlooking the Old City. The whole property has an old-time elegance to it. Very nice, and again, the location was fantastically convenient to explore the ancient city by foot. We can highly recommend this place to others wanting an authentic experience in Ragusa Ibla! "

Intervallo Boutique Hotel

"This place is exceptional! More like staying in a friend’s beautiful house than in a hotel. The owner Vincenzo couldn’t do more for me if he tried. He contacted me and arranged taxis to and from the railway station (don’t try and walk it!), gave myself and other guests a brief summary of the history of this stunning town and made some recommendations for restaurants. Vincenzo also found out for me which bars were showing the World Cup. Vincenzo provided an honesty bar that was very much appreciated, especially at night admiring the incredible views. Vincenzo provided a beautiful traditional Sicilian breakfast. I have stayed at hundreds of hotels B&Bs et cetera, but nothing comes close to here"

Antico Convento Dei Cappuccini

"Beautiful position near the old town and a beautiful building. However, the room we were placed in was well below the standard expected. The shower hose did not work, the shower drain was blocked, and the little air conditioner did not cope with the 29 degrees inside the room. When asked if anything could be fixed, no was the answer. The rooms are very small so don't travel here with two many bags!"

Ibla Barocca

Centosedici Rooms

"Visited Ragusa for one night - we had a delux double room with balacony. Easy to find with free parking directly opposite Centosedici. The place itself is beautiful- carved out of stone. Our room was huge, the stone walls inside were stunning. Large comfy bed. The bathroom was lovely too- curtain instead of a door,with all that fabulous stone work in the room. Don't let that out you off! Elisabet was super helpful and the breakfast was very nice- great coffee!! Centosedici is about 6/7 mins short walk into Ragusa Ibla, which is a lovely out town. Plenty of artisan shops, churches, lovely gardens and restaurants. It's a very relaxing place"
