We spent a wonderful 9 nights here and can't recommend it highly enough. The welcome by Giuseppe and his mother was warm and generous with delicious biscotti and apricot tart on the kitchen table along with wine, olive oil, fresh fruit, eggs and jams. We cooked at the apartment several times and it had everything you need. The apartment itself is probably the nicest we have stayed in - as others have said it's a wonderful combination of historical character and modern comfort. The location was ideal - in a quiet courtyard across from the Palazzo Zacco, a short walk from the main square, shopping streets, restaurants and the steps down to Ragusa Ibla. We highly recommend breakfast at Caffe Trieste where they have an array of croissants filled with ricotta or hazlenut cream or various fruits. Pasticceria di Pasquale also had several visits from us! La Grotta was perfect for grabbing a snack and Trattoria da Luigi is as good as all the reviews say. People were so kind and helpful everywhere we went.
We had a car and were always able to find free parking on the Ponte Papa Giovanni bridge, a very short walk from the apartment. We also enjoyed exploring the region with trips to Modica, Scicli, Ispica, Noto and along the coast to Punta Secca.
We'd happily return to this lovely apartment in beautiful Ragusa. Thank you to Vicenzo and Giuseppe!
