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.

The staff was incredibly helpful in figuring out what to see in town and how to get to places without a lot of uphill climbs. The room was very comfortable with a wonderful view overlooking the valley. And it was super close to the old city. You could walk anywhere in the old city quite easily. We had a car and the staff was also extremely helpful in describing where to park. Finally the breakfast was also fantastic??? especially the bacon!

The staff were excellent and the breakfast pretty good. Easy free parking on the street below, easy access too and a helpful porter for our luggage.
The beds were comfortable and the room was fine but a little cold and we couldn???t adjust the AC. Parts of the bathroom looked a little tired and the shower floor was very slippery so we used a hand towel as a shower mat to prevent any accidents. We would definitely return, as Ragusa is quiet and beautiful, with some good restaurants.
