We have now stayed in three similar homes to this and have to tell you Gaetano’s is the best of the three. The location is between Ragusa Ibla and Ragusa Superiore and therefore you are in for a lot of stairs no matter where you go. This is both the charm and the challenge of these extremely old cities. However, it is totally worth it!
The home is two levels, with lots of natural light on the second floor and in the first floor bedroom. This is difficult to find in this style of home. The others we have stayed in have had little or no natural light. The furnishings are quite perfect for your stay. The bed extremely comfortable. Two bathrooms were lovely, one on each floor. It was chilly in February but we were able to be very comfortable using the split heaters in the bedroom, living room and kitchen.
There is an open area outside the home and that was perfect for sitting out and hanging laundry after using the great laundry machine on the second floor.
Now to the host: Gaetano is fantastic. He had many things bought in for us for breakfast and lots of staples (vinegar, spices) in the cupboards. He made everything incredibly easy for us and was extremely attentive if we needed help. I enjoyed getting to know him and to learn more about the history of the community we were in.
Don’t miss staying here! Thanks Gaetano!
