Michele is your great host at this little pearl in the middle of Ragusa. When we found it, after having punched the Garmin GPS in the dashboard 7000 times, just to be lead around in circles and down one-way streets, we were happy. Really happy. A small oasis of green and phenomenal view in the MIDDLE of the old quarter of Ragusa ! If it was more central you would almost have to move the baptismal font in the church ! The rooms have everything you would require and need. Everything is in great condition and if there is anything "wrong" Michele will with a 1000% certainty help you. He lives and breathes for your stay with him is 10-4. Michele were to make tiramisu (and it was GOOD) a guest would like the recipe for .... She got to make it with him and get the recipe. We, guests, ate it with the biggest pleasure.
The breakfast at the place is good-nice. Meaning that it's classic Italian with lots of sweet things and with "I-get-Scandinavian-guests" style in the form of great sausages, cheese, ham and white bread. With an espresso on the side you can make plans for the day. It's a GOOD start. Michele care about wine and you can buy quite excellent Planeta wines for a nice price at the place.

We would VERY much like to come back to Michele. He is very good at making the stay personal and present. We almost felt like we became close friends when we drove off.

Try going to the "new" part. It nicer to go home (down) from there than going up. In return the beer/aperol is well deserved when you get to the new part. The old one is so nice. Lots of cafes and great restaurants. And all of it is in "I-have-eaten-too-much-great-Italian-food" walking distance of the place.

From Ragusa you can take the trips to Noto, Siracusa, etc. which are ALL worth a trip in our opinion.

Besides chocolate in Modica, we think the town is rather nice walking around in. You MUST try the chocolate. Bonajuto is the most famous and absolutely the most expensive. Try it - but try it AFTER Caffe Del Arte right at the other side of the street (opposite the tourist office). Here you get the same high quality (maybe better ? ) at half the price. Try their hot chocolate..... you can't drink it. It has to be eaten with a spoon ! And that's in the GOOD way.

GOD TUR :)

This B&B is wonderfully located with a lovely garden and pool and with a wonderful view of Ragusa Ibla. We had a nice big terrace, which we enjoyed a lot.
A huge praise for those who owns the place. We got a lovely welcome and good information on the place. Very helpful regarding parking. By departure also very helpful regarding finding the new place in town. We even got to use the garden even though we stayed at another place.
A bit difficult to find. We fumbled around for about an hour before we decided to park somewhere and then find the B&B on foot. But as I said, a lot of helpfulness from the place regarding getting the car up close to the B&B.

Lovely and very beautiful town (Ibla). A lot of great places to eat. Not too touristy.

Very nice greeting with a lot of information about the city, the history of the city and lovely dining areas.
Nice room with a wonderful garden overlooking the city, lovely breakfast, centrally located at the Duomo and friendly staff.
It was quite difficult to find parkering lots and navigate in car, and the city is not as big as it seems, so use local transportation!
