My stay at the hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The rooms were quiet and comfortable but had a broken toilet seat, and the parking location was a bit inconvenient. The location was exceptional, allowing easy access to the cathedral and situated in the heart of Ragusa Ibla. The dining experience, although good, fell short in terms of choice and ambiance compared to other luxury hotels. The service was a mixed bag, with some friendly and helpful interactions but also some misunderstandings and lack of understanding. Overall, a stay with its ups and downs.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms had some unique features but also caused discomfort with the strong musty smell that led to us waking up with burning throats. The service was a letdown due to a significant misunderstanding about my safety concerns, although the free parking assistance was appreciated. The location was central and convenient for exploring Ragusa but lacked charm. The dining experience was average with limited options. Despite some drawbacks, the facilities were functional and adequate.

The hotel is located in a stunning Old Town setting, offering easy access to well-known sights like the cathedral. The rooms, though not luxurious, felt too humid, and the parking was a bit of a hassle due to the scattered location. The service was extremely helpful and accommodating, going above and beyond to assist us. Dining was nice but lacked the variety and ambience found at other hotels. The overall experience was enhanced by the picturesque location, perfect for exploring Ragusa Ibla.

The hotel is a gem located in the historic heart of Ragusa, making it easy to explore the city's beauty on foot. The rooms are elegantly designed with a touch of Italian tradition, boasting high-quality sheets that make for a luxurious stay. While the service was helpful and informative, it fell short compared to other experiences in Sicily. The dining options, though divine, lacked the variety expected of a higher-tier hotel. Despite some drawbacks, the facilities are top-notch, offering a comfortable and convenient stay.

The hotel is nestled onto one of the old streets in Ragusa, offering the charm of the historic surroundings. Our very small room No 3 accommodated all our needs, despite being petite for 4 suitcases of belongings. The service provided by the owner was impeccable, making our stay feel personalized and cozy.
