Very nice owners, we felt very welcome. The house is amazing, as time has stood still. It has wonderful antique features. Breakfast on the terrace was great, best coffee in Sicily! It is right in the old city center, so your car is useless, but parking is nearby (it is a bit of a climb however, suits you after sitting in your car all day) Thanks!

Wonderful stay. Everything was perfect: large room, very clean and quiet in the superb large family house full of history, ideal location, terrace for breakfast, the welcome and kindness of Elena, the owners' daughter. We loved it. Thank you again.

Quelle magnifique critique. Merci! Elena.

A perfect place to recharge and regenerate, from the rooms, to the SPA, to the tips on restaurants and places to visit. Elena and her husband are adorable and attentive to every aspect of the stay. Thorough cleanliness and guaranteed comfort. Excellent breakfast based on local and genuine products, mostly homemade. The SPA is the surprise you don't expect in a B&B, complete with everything, despite the available space of the structure. Great expertise and professionalism of the staff, including Elena's brother, whose back and neck massages literally regenerated me. Worth going and coming back. Highly recommended.

Elena and Simone have been fantastic hosts. Their B&B is a beautiful building full of surprises but, above all, a great place to stay. Elena has explained many things about the history of the house, which is really like a museum. Our accommodation was fantastic, with beautiful rooms and views from every room. The bonus was the balcony with a fantastic panorama over Ibla. Breakfast was always a surprise and always a winner. Elena is very helpful in explaining the sightseeing options in the area and we found her extremely knowledgeable. We stayed for several nights and the whole place started to feel like home and a great place to come back to at the end of the day. The recommended restaurants were also great choices. We loved the whole Ragusa experience. Thank you, Elena and Simone.

The answer from the host:
Hello! Unfortunately I only read your review now. I sincerily thank you for your wonderful words. I always find difficult to say goodbye to my guests because when, like you did, they stay for many nights, they become like friends with whom I really enjoy to chat and spend my time. I hope to see you again soon, Elena.
