Our stay at this hotel was truly unforgettable. The staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming, always ready to help with a warm smile and great attention to detail. Their kindness made us feel at home from the very first moment.
The hotel itself is a beautifully restored palace, full of charm and elegance. Every corner reflects careful craftsmanship and respect for the building’s history, creating a unique and atmospheric experience.
The location is excellent—perfectly situated within a short distance of both Ragusa Ibla and the newer part of Ragusa, making it easy to explore the best of both areas.
We stayed in Suite number 12, which was incredibly spacious and comfortable. One of the highlights of our stay was the private jacuzzi, which added a touch of luxury and relaxation that we truly appreciated.
We would absolutely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a memorable and high-quality stay.

The property is nice, big rooms, a/c was not working well and was a bit warm to sleep comfortably. We had a disagreement with the parking arrangements offered and ended up paying it twice... we are still waiting for a reimbursement...

Tried to change date as u made a mistake on calendar. They wanted to charge me more than my original booking $200 As I had no insurance they took advantage of situation although it was over 2 weeks in advance. Therefore I did not go and paid anyway. Shameful

Dimora storica di charme
Dimora storica in cui sono state realizzate camere di design molto curate. Biancheria di alta qualità pulizia perfetta. Personale molto gentile e attento al cliente. Migliorabile l’illuminazione nelle camere. colazione inclusa di ottima qualità. Piscina non nella struttura ma in albergo vicinissimo.

Très bon accueil. La partie réception de l’hôtel est très belle et fidèle aux photos. Par contre, la chambre standard dans laquelle nous avons dormi n’est pour moi pas à la hauteur du standing minimal d’un tel hôtel. Le sèche serviette de la salle d’eau était cassé et chauffait en continue et la climatisation ne fonctionnait pas. La douche aurait également besoin d’un petit rafraîchissement. Pas de verre et pas de possibilité de prendre un café ou thé (même payant) dans la chambre. Une bouteille d’eau gratuite par séjour serait appréciable.

The hotel is a real gem with a wonderful indoor pool/spa that you can reserve for exclusive use. It is located well in hilly Ragusa and very close to the important sites. The staff is incredibly kind and really go out of their way to help. Matteo has a wonderful sense of humor and makes you feel right at home!
