Description
Tenuta Zannafondo is dipped into a carobs and secular olives wood and it is placed into the Ibleo altopiano at an altitude of 400 metres between Ragusa and Marina di Ragusa and at few kilometres from the sea. The landscape encloses the coast and an uncontaminated area that is neatly marked by the “muri a secco” and by the wonderful farms built with white stone.
Zannafondo estate is a refined Bed and Breakfast consists of two old rural stone blocks dating back to 1800 that had been carefully restored treating with care the old structure and the original materials like the old pitch stone floor.
It has seven rooms for a total of 18 beds, all furnished with fine furniture typical Sicilian.

Breakfast
The breakfast Tenuta Zannafondo is one that you do not forget, the various cakes, pistachio, pear and chocolate or orange or the tart with ricotta cheese or jam and almonds, or "hot cassatelle" freshly baked ricotta as well as the many varieties of cookies and other delicacies, all prepared with fresh ingredients from a buffet in the common room or outdoor terraces with views of the countryside of Ragusa.
Home Restaurant
Discover a landscape that can be experienced through its flavors. Here, the main elements of the Mediterranean Diet are still produced using ancient cultivation methods, which is why it is rightfully considered a UNESCO World Heritage. Ivana offers guests her own Iblea version of this cuisine, including famous focaccias, arancini, pasta with sardines, and wild fennel picked right outside her door. At Tenuta Zannafondo, breakfast is an unforgettable experience, featuring warm ricotta and freshly milked milk from a nearby "masseria," as well as "Ragusano DOP" cheese, delicious carob honey from the estate, and freshly baked "cassatelle," cakes, and pies made with fresh and genuine ingredients.

We have been coming back to Tenuta Zannafondo for several years now where we are always welcomed with the warmth of the Sicilian spirit. The gentle breeze that never fails, the sunsets that are enjoyed, and above all the possibility of being sheltered from the crowd of the seaside town make the place unique. I want to emphasize the exceptional quality of the breakfast, both for the terrace where it is served and for the goodness of the cakes and biscuits strictly homemade. In short, a magical place that immediately makes you feel nostalgic when you return home.

Che dire?
È stata una sorpresa, una piacevolissima sorpresa!
Fuori dalle strade e dalle vie piene di gente, si gode di una tranquillità assoluta. A metà strada tra Ragusa e la sua marina, si raggiungono facilmente le due località e le principali mete turistiche della Val di Noto.
Stanze a "misura" di soggiorno, alla colazione non manca nulla (si potrebbe però variare la proposta del "salato" come si fa con la parte dolce); i gestori: disponibili, cordiali e premurosi.
Non si può dimenticare di menzionare le torte della signora. Dà migliorare la segnaletica stradale per trovare, in aperta campagna, questa autentica "chicca".
Da consigliare vivamente.

Sono stata ricontatta quasi subito dopo la mia segnalazione ed alla fine siamo riusciti a trovare una camera per la settimana del Ferragosto, anche se finite le normal abbiamo dovuto prendere una superior con vista, un po’ più cara, ma di grande effetto. La Tenuta Zannafondo è un piccolo paradiso nelle campagne del Ragusano, con vista mare anche se in lontananza. Gli appartamenti nuovissimi e ben curati hanno però tutto il fascino della pietra e della Sicilia. Proprietari cortesi, colazione con torte buonissime e animaletti in loco simpatici. Gli mancherebbe una piscina, ma visto tutto il resto si può anche soprassedere. Molto buon il rapporto qualità prezzo. Io ci tornerò se e quando potrò.

Ottimo. Davvero un ottimo posto con proprietari (Elio e Ivana) gentili e molto carini. La signora Ivana prepara delle fantastiche torte per colazione. Nel complesso un posto da consigliare e da ritornarci. Pasquale e Carla. Maggio 2016.

La tenuta Zannafondo è un luogo molto curato pur mantenendo un contatto forte con la meravigliosa natura circostante e rispettando la struttura originaria della masseria. I proprietari sono molto disponibili e allo stesso tempo discreti. Speriamo di tornare presto a soggiornarvi!
