My wife and I were smitten and overwhelmed by the B&B and our host. The view is breathtaking. The attention to detail is extraordinary. The breakfast is sumptuous. The problem now is that all other B&B's will seem lacking. Well worth it!

We stayed at this B&B and were really satisfied. The welcome was warm and attentive, with the manager always available and kind. The breakfast was excellent, which made waking up a pleasure. The rooms are spacious, bright, and really comfortable, perfect for relaxing after a day out. A big advantage is the public parking, free right next to the property, convenient and practical. Moreover, the location is strategic: you can reach the center of Ragusa Ibla on foot in just a few minutes. Highly recommended for those looking for comfort, hospitality, and excellent breakfast.

Words cannot express this magnificent property. Of all 7 bed and breakfasts we stayed at, this was by far the best. Nanni is an amazing host, from his help with parking to his suggestions for activities to the fantastic breakfasts each morning. He is so kind and hardworking, always trying to make your holiday the best it can be.

An exceptional place to stay, with a very welcoming and friendly host Nanni. Our bedroom had a spectacular terrace with a view of the old town and a very comfortable bed. Lovely breakfast and great value compared to many places we have stayed in Sicily. Highly recommend and the best location with free parking close by. Thanks Nanni and for your recommendation to visit Villa Romana del Casale on our way to Sciacca 😀

We had a very pleasant stay at Giovanni's place. The room was splendid, clean, beautifully decorated, and had a breathtaking view. Added to this, the friendly welcome from the host and the hearty, carefully prepared breakfast. Thank you Giovanni for your advice and the little gift! And I recommend your address to all visitors to Ragusa.

If there had been option 11 I would have used it for Nanni and his fantastic B&B. The property is located in a magical place, facing a postcard of Ibla, we were able to choose the room with the private balcony and I can say that the choice was spot on. In addition to the unique view, we appreciated the cleanliness and care of the room as well as the excellent services offered by the host Nanni. The bathroom is excellent both in terms of space and the quality of the shower. Finally, the breakfast is like a 5-star plus hotel, between sweet and savory you can not be hungry until dinner and the company of Nanni is helpful for his kindness and advice on visiting Ragusa and Ibla. Surely Ibla has its magnetic charm but I am also certain that Nanni's property is what I was looking for to spend a memorable vacation.

I'm usually not so generous with ratings, but here it was really hard to find something that wasn't perfect. From the cleanliness of the rooms to the sense of hospitality with which Nanni welcomed us! A beautiful discovery that we hope to replicate soon! P.S. the breakfast deserves praise!

The answer from the host:
Grazie mille Beatrice, è stato un piacere avervi come nostri ospiti. Speriamo di rivederci presto.

The location is great, you can walk and visit without using your car. Nanni was very helpful and was able to communicate with us very well in English. The breakfast was superb, there was more available than I could eat. All the food and juice were very fresh, the view on the terrace during breakfast was amazing. We were spoiled and I was even given a handmade gift when I departed. Would stay there again.

We had a wonderful, albeit short, vacation at the bnb Terra del Sole. Nanni is a very welcoming and caring host. The structure is truly charming, from the terrace the view is breathtaking, the room with the vaulted ceiling gives direct access to the terrace from which you can enjoy a unique panorama. The room is equipped with all the comforts, it is beautiful and very clean. The location of the structure is convenient for visiting Ibla on foot and very easy to reach by car. All excellent, highly recommended.

Let's start with the manager Nanni, who we define as a top host! We waited a few days to review his B&B because with a truly appreciable and constructive attitude he asked us if we had noticed anything to improve or if we had any suggestions. We found nothing to report to him. Attention, precision, hospitality, cleanliness, context, small precious details make it a high-quality B&B. Absolutely recommendable and worth returning to.

stayed from 08/19/2023 to 08/21/2023

filippo

Nanni, the manager, is really kind, helpful, and friendly; he does his job with passion and great attention to the customer. The room is modern, very beautiful, spacious, and there is a large terrace where you can have breakfast, with a great view of the greenery and part of Ibla, very enjoyable even in the evening. Free parking is guaranteed very close to the property. If we return to that area of Sicily, given the excellent experience, we will definitely stay at Nanni's again.

A gem of a property and a gem of a host. We loved our stay here. It is so relaxing, in an excellent location with fabulous views and within walking distance of restaurants and sights. The breakfasts on the terrace were superb, the accommodation was spotlessly clean and Nanni was so friendly and helpful. Our most enjoyable stay in Sicily.

I would always go back to this property in Ragusa. \nThe view from the balcony where one has breakfast over Ragusa Ibla is extraordinary, the kindness of the host in organizing an evening meal for us was special, the size of the rooms and bathroom facilities is generous: \nAll in all, we would always go back!

Recently renovated B&B, a stone's throw from Ragusa Ibla. Very beautiful rooms and common areas, tastefully furnished. Extreme attention to the customer by the manager who also provides excellent ideas for trips in the surroundings. Excellent breakfasts both the sweet part (croissants filled with pistachio/ricotta exquisite) and the savory part (typical focaccias/cheeses). Fully satisfied with the choice!

Our room was spacious, comfortable and very quiet with a lovely private balcony offering a spectacular view over Ragusa Ibla. Our host was welcoming and very helpful, keeping in good contact with us before our arrival. He gave us very good recommendations for dinner and even made reservations for us. Everything was exceptionally clean. The bathroom was large with a generous shower which was much appreciated. Breakfast was generous with good variety. We probably ate more than we should but it was all so good. The secret door to access the stairway was wonderful which allowed us to walk safely and quickly into the town so we did not have to take the long, windy route on the narrow roadway with cars. We very much enjoyed our stay with Giovanni.

We stayed for five nights in this wonderful property where we were welcomed by the host Nanni who delighted us with a superb breakfast on a terrace with a stunning view over Ragusa Ibla. The room was very beautiful and spacious, attention to detail and fragrant, also with an unbeatable view over Ibla. Great location to reach the various destinations we had planned (Noto, Modica, Siracusa, Marzamemi, Punta Secca, Caltagirone, Piazza Armerina). Thank you Nanni for your hospitality! Highly recommended! Stefania and Michele (Fucecchio - Florence).

Unfortunately my wife, my sister-in-law, and I stayed only one night at Terra del Sole Ibla. It was a very pleasant surprise. The welcome from the manager, Mr. Nanni and his wife, was exquisite and very courteous, their availability was superb. The B&B's location is exceptional with an unmissable view of Ragusa Ibla both during the day and at night. The rooms are very well-kept and equipped with all comforts. The breakfast is fantastic. Highly recommended.

B&B that has nothing to envy to a 4-star hotel! I would choose it a thousand more times for an unforgettable stay in Ragusa. It is situated in an enviable position from which you can enjoy breathtaking sunrises and sunsets directly from your room. It's really quick to reach the historic center on foot. The structure is new, furnished with great taste and care, with extreme attention to detail, nothing is left to chance. I particularly appreciated the spaciousness of the room I had booked (with a double bed and a French one), the brightness of the room, the scent of the sheets and linens, the extreme cleanliness and order, and the fantastic little terrace overlooking Ibla. Breakfast, served on the terrace, is generous and tasty. The owner, Giovanni, is a lovely and friendly person as only Sicilians can be: besides providing us with many useful tips to facilitate our stay, he also offered us an aperitif on the terrace. In conclusion, it was absolutely the most beautiful structure I stayed in during my trip to Sicily. I hope to return soon.
