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.
Transfer time
The hotel is 35 mins from Comiso Airport or 1hr 30 mins from Catania Airport. Return private transfers included. To change your transfers or book car hire instead, simply call us once you’ve completed your booking.

I booked 2 rooms at the San Giorgio months before our scheduled early April arrival. I booked the rooms non-refundable. To their credit, the Hotel never charged my credit card.
When this pandemic passes, I will once again plan my first trip to Sicily and will be sure to book my stay with San Giorgio Palace Hotel.

The location of this Hotel is ideal. Easy walk to all historic attractions in minutes. Major restaurants, cafes and parks are all close and walking distance to the Hotel. The Hotel is beautiful! The rooms are large and the beds are comfortable and great! The breakfast was one of the best in all of Italy and Sicily. We travelled around Italy and Sicily for 2 and a half months. San Giorgio Palace Hotel was one of the best hotel experiences we had in the whole trip.The staff was the most impressive feature of the hotel. They were very accommodating when asked where to go and what to see. Their knowledge of local history was impressive. The manager was very helpful in making sure we were comfortable and helped when we needed guidance. We had a lot of great conversations about the area, myths and legends. If you are driving, call ahead and get directions. It is kinda hard to find if you rely on an in-car GPS navigation system.
First chance I get when we go back to Italy is to go to Ragusa and stay at this Hotel!!

My partner and I visited Sicily in early March for my birthday. Unfortunately we arrived during the worst of the outbreak of Coronavirus and Italy had been put on lockdown. We chose to stay here for a few nights before we were able to catch our flight back home to the UK. We ended up only staying one night as our flights had been canceled and we were told we needed to get to the airport to try and get a rescue flight home.
We were blown away by the staff at this hotel. They made sure we were up to date with all the latest news on Coronavirus and the lockdown, found us restaurants that were open (2 in the whole city!) and really just went out of their way to make sure we had a comfortable stay despite the unusual circumstance. The hotel itself was very clean and comfortable. We had really nice views of the valley from our room. Breakfast was delicious. Would 100% recommend this hotel just for the kind staff that went out of their way for us.

Picked this one out because of the location, which turned out to be excellent - once we figured out how to find it. Six storys high because it goes up the side of the cliff, and we had not realized there was a lower entrance so dragged our bag to the 5th floor. There are some hotel-designated parking spots on the road below the hotel entrance. The staff were exceptionally helpful, and the room was comfortable with a nice view across the valley. Breakfast was good. A key issue for us was that it was easy walking distance to everything we wanted to see, so we rally got a good view of the two towns.
