Luciano's villa is an oasis in the countryside outside Ragusa Ibla. The location is perfect. Getting to the old city is as easy as a steep walk up the mountainside steps for the young and healthy or a 5 min drive to the free parking at Giardino Ibleo. The facility has everything you would want for a getaway: 3 bedrooms, 2 kitchens (1 outside), A crystal clear pool and well manicured lawn, large living room, outside shower, clothes washer and dish washer.
The home has heat but no air conditioning. The first floor rooms remained cool all-day & night. The upstairs large bedroom gets warm and the windows must be left open. The beds were very comfortable. The rooms are large and there is so much living space that our group of 6 adults never felt cramped.
Luciano moved all the kitchen hardware and plates to the outside kitchen for us before we arrived. It was great cooking on the outside gas stove in the warm weather. There are a few grocery stores in Ragusa that are a 15 minute drive.
I highly recommend this property if visiting Ragusa and Ragusa Ibla by car. The Ragusa Ibla stazione is not in service. Train travelers will need a taxi from Ragusa Stazione to the property. As of this review, the property does not show up on Google Maps. The property across the small driveway is Casa Vacanze B&B Home Restaurant "IRMINIO GARDEN" on Google Maps and can be used to get directions.
The villa is in the country. With the windows open you will hear all the animal sounds on the nearby farm as the sun is rising. Lastly, there were no consumables accept toilet paper. Bring paper towels, pepper, salt, sugar, dish soap, dishwasher soap, laundry detergent and any other staple you need to cook or clean.
Luciano was a wonderful host. He met us in Ragusa and led us on his vespa to the villa. He walked through everything and was very forgiving of my bad Italian. Thank you Luciano.
