The location of the house is not indicated by signs, so I had some trouble finding it although the GPS system told me I had arrived. All I had to do was walk down about 15 steps, turn right onto a terrace at the end of which was the entrance to the house and a fabulous view over old Ragusa. That doesn’t help much when you are in a car. Fortunately, the small grocery store up the street – everything is either up or down in Ragusa – about 50 meters is owned by someone who knows Giancarlo and Helena and he called for me and Helena appeared about 3 minutes later. She got me a parking pass and went with me to help get my bags and dog. I took a gigantic room for 4 because it had a private bathroom, although you had to cross the sitting/dining room to get to it but there was no other guest in the single room that shares the ground floor. Giancarlo and Helena live on the first floor and have a separate entrance to their apartment. Everything was spotless and fortunately because it was cold, there were heaters in both the living/dining room and the bedroom, rare in Sicily. I’m sure the terrace area is lovely in nice weather, but it rained the two nights I was there. Breakfast was ample and varied: good fresh bread, butter, several jams, cereal if you wanted, brown sugar, home-made yogurt which was super, fruit, tomatoes, sweet cakes if you wanted, salty sauces available instead of jam, tea or coffee. There’s a bus that goes into old Ragusa at the top of those stairs outside the house. It runs only once every 45 minutes or so but it sure is convenient when you can’t park in the old town. The only negative is that the bus stops running about 8 p.m, There are restaurants in the center of new Ragusa, the hill where the airbnb is, about a 20 minutes walk uphill. Both Giancarlo and Helena could not have been more helpful and were both delightful and interesting people. Oh yes, the internet connection was excellent. I have no hesitation in recommending Giancarlo’s bnb for your stay in Ragusa.
