My hasband and myself travelled to Italy and Sicly in Sept/Oct for a 3 week vacation. Casa Ruffino was the only place that dissappointed us. We had confirmed our reservation with Casa Ruffino 3 times before we left Canada. On the day of our arrival, we had travelled all day from Taormina, having made some tourist stops along the way... more

This was one of the best places I have ever stayed. After a terrifying stint in Palermo, going to Balestrate and staying at Casa Ruffino was like a dream come true. My friends and I could not get over how incredible every part of it was. Paola and Guissepe treated us like family - they are the kindest, warmest, friendliest,... more

My friend and I literally ran into this B + B in the lovely town of Balestrate and were so happy we did! The room was very cute and the B + B itself was beautiful and full of interesting things. The best part was the breakfast, served by the very kind and friendly owners, complete with savory and sweet... more

We have just returned from a 3 night stay. This is a fantastic B and B. Clean, spacious and above all Guiseppe and Paulo are so kind and welcoming. We had our 5 children with us, ages 6-16 and we were treated just like family. Guiseppe and Paulo made us a wonderful dinner with more dishes and specialities than I... more

Casa Ruffino has a nice interior aesthetic. The hosts, Giuseppe and Paola, are very responsive to their guests. The breakfast was great,with bread, pastries, meats, fruit, juices, and coffee in addition to Giuseppe bringing special crispy pastries from town which were hot, crispy, and filled with sweet ricotta. Balastrate is a good start point for visiting San Vito Lo Capo,... more

Based on other people's experiences we were booked into Casa Ruffino for 4 nights but left after 1. We barely slept. Motorbikes and cars went up and down until after midnight and the racket started again at 6 in the morning. The town did not appear to have anything to recommend it and Casa Ruffino was in the middle of... more

Staying at Casa Ruffino was the most memorable part of my family's trip to Sicily. It is difficult to describe how welcoming and gracious the proprietors Guiseppe and Paola were to our family. When you arrive, Guiseppe and Paola welcome you to their hotel, which looks and feels more like a large home, with wine and appetizers made from fresh... more

We had a wonderful stay at Casa Ruffino. Our room was very spacious and very elegant furnished. The bathroom was well equipped and all was spotless clean. Breakfast was a sensation! Giuseppe and his assistant did everything to let us eat all the delicious food that was on the table. The location is perfect. Casa Ruffino is in the center... more
