About the location
Ragusa (setting of the TV detective show Inspector Montalbano) is one of Sicily’s most photogenic towns, a jumble of baroque buildings sprawled across a hillside in the UNESCO-listed Val di Noto. It’s split into two parts; Ragusa Ibla is the older, more traditional area, while Ragusa Superiore has a more modern feel.
Ragusa Ibla is a warren of atmospheric lanes, which wind down the hillside and open out into sunny piazzas every so often. Look out for the Duomo di San Giorgio, one of the island’s grandest cathedrals, and the Giardino Ibleo, a leafy park with lovely valley views. Head up to Ragusa Superiore and you’ll find another cathedral, plus shops, cafes and photo-worthy views across Ragusa Ibla and the surrounding area.
Ragusa is an ideal base for exploring southern Sicily. Discover the equally beautiful towns of Noto and Modica, head to the beach for the day, or make a trip to stunning Syracuse.

We stayed at the San Giorgio Palace Hotel for 3 nights in April, 2025. Our room was lovely, comfortable and clean. We even had a balcony overlooking the hills of Ragusa. The breakfast that was offered was the very best that we had in Sicily and the breakfast room was beautiful. You had a choice of eating inside or outside on the deck overlooking the hills. The staff were professional and very helpful to us. When we had trouble using our phones, one of the woman who worked at the front desk made the call for us and helped us to translate from Italian to English. Another staff member at the desk called and set up a taxi from the hotel to Modica. I wish that I could remember their names, because they went over and above the usual duties of front desk employees. I do remember our taxi driver, Amadeo, who took us to Modica, showed us spectacular views and explained some of the history to us. I would definitely stay at the San Giorgio Palace Hotel the next time I am in Ragusa. Their hospitality was wonderful!

The room is terrible!! We had to go outside, up a hill, through a gate, across a patio and down a flight of stairs to get to our rooms.
The rooms are tiny, 9 feet by 10 feet and no window, and no coffee machine.
It was a torrential downpour when it was time for us to leave the room.
We got last getting back into the hotel because there is an unmarked gate that is all beat up with no signage which is where we were supposed to go through,
We asked to switch rooms but the staff was very unhelpful and we could not.

Not like a Palazzo at all.

The design of the hotel was very disjointed. We were on floor zero which was built into the rock and rather cold and gloomy.
On booking.com it said that there were free toiletries and a mini bar. Neither existed and if you wanted a glass to drink out of, you had to request and pay for it.
The staff in the breakfast room were unfriendly and one was actually very rude to us for being 2 minutes early at breakfast.
On the plus side, the room was clean, the bed comfortable and the reception staff were helpful and friendly.
It was also convenient for the town.
