A painstakingly restored baroque palace with sumptuous public rooms. We spent 5 nights in this hotel and it proved to be a great base from which to explore the area. All the staff we met were very friendly, ultra keen to be helpful, efficient and all spoke excellent English. Inner courtyard parking approached through a tricky narrow archway off a... More

We spent 8 nights in what must have been one of the most charming hotels we have visited in a long time. The staff are hospitable, caring and could not have done more for us from the moment they welcomed us to the hotel until the moment we left. Our room, Magnolia, was superbly decorated with a beautiful curved ceiling,... More

Service is boutique as the hotel, smiling faces and very helpful staff. There are sometimes small issues with the infrastructure but these smiling faces try to solve the problems as best as they...

We visited the two parts of Ragusa to celebrate my wife's birthday. It is a city rich in history and architecture, a must see while visiting the southeastern corner of Sicily. Ibla is worth the walk and, while we walked to and from the upper town, it was well worth it. Local maps point out the many interesting sights to... More

The room was very spacious and lots of natural light as well as mood lighting, with a complimentary coffee espresso machine. The bathroom was equipped... More

When we arrived, they asked us if we wanted to valet the car while we were there and we said yes (I HIGHLY recommend this service). They told us they would deliver our baggage to... More

An amazing hotel, that lives up to it's name of a PALACE! If you want to treat your lady like a Princess and let her spend the night in a real palace this is the place. Outstanding service, rooms and furniture to die for. The roof terrace restaurant and taster menu just superb. We had the room with the Chroma-therapy... More

Let's be clear - The hotel is beautiful. The interior is classically styled and gives you the real wow factor when you walk to your room. The common areas are stunning - luxurious doesn't come close. The junior suite we booked felt small, but well appointed with quality furnishings. The bathroom was a little frustrating as it has a bath... More
