Lovely welcome on arrival and very helpful and informative staff. If you have use of a car, then we found this was a great base for exploring the south eastern parts of Sicily."

"We enjoyed our stay and the place was beautiful and well located. However, it unfortunately looks like the amendities haven’t been well kept over the years (ex. Dirty/worn off couch mattresses, uneaven mattress, etc.).
The decor is very unique and beautiful, service was good."

We enjoyed our stay at Giuggiulena Villa! The location is right on the water with a gorgeous view of the Ionian Sea, nearby sea caves, and just a few steps down to access the water for swimming. Sabrina and Claudia are wonderful hosts. They are personable, friendly, and helpful. Claudia is an amazing cook and provides a delicious homemade breakfast.

Michaelangelo helped us every step of the way and even went out of his way to help us check in. He was amazing, thank you!
The place is extremely clean, beautiful rooms, the beds are very comfortable, and the location is perfect for those who want to be near the downtown area.
I highly recommend this stay and do yourself a favor and try the strawberry gelato at Bar Cipriani--you haven't tried a strawberry until you have tried this.
Absolutely wonderful stay!!!

The Agilia Ortigia Charme Hotel is absolutely superb. Firstly, we were lost in Syracuse, but when we called the hotel to get some guidance, very nice man name Marchello gave us excellent directions and then met us outside the hotel which was a huge help after a long day of driving in Sicily. After check in, we were given a tour of the the hotel by another hotel employee who was also very friendly. Everybody we met at this hotel was so accommodating and friendly.

We absolutely loved Aretusa Vacanze! The room was very cozy and spacious. The owners were there every morning preparing breakfast, and the rest of the family helped manage the B&B beautifully. We especially appreciated Stefano’s dinner recommendations.

I love this place. Excellent! It’s one thing to be able to stay at an amazing historical property, but another thing to also have such helpful staff, an excellent restaurant and very clean and lovely facility.
I totally recommend this place. It was probably the highlight of my trip to Sicily

We had a delightful one-night stay at Villa Boscarino. The hotel is created within a classic old villa with lovely modern features. Gardens and pool tranquil. It's atop a hill in the modern area of Ragusa, but a short cab ride over to the historical Ragusa area for dinner. Parking was available for our rental car. Staff was so helpful, caring and genuinely kind. Loved Stephanie at the poolside.

Nice facility a little off the beaten track. There is a decent breakfast included, but no dinner option. A car is essential and the very narrow country lanes are not easy to navigate at night. There are many positives, including the views on clear days, a very attentive staff at breakfast and for house cleaning. Room for improvement could be for someone to be present at check-in time and not having to wait 45 minutes for him to show up ("I was only late by a few minutes"). As well, the pool...

This property is wonderful.. it's out in the country. Probably 20 miles from Saracusa,
And that is what the issue is: If you drive to the property, no problem at all. But if you take a taxi, be prepared to exist on only the breakfast that they offer. The breakfast is wonderful, no hot food, but everything else you could ask for in a bed and breakfast-tyoe breakfast. But there is no lunch or dinner available.
