Ragusa Ibla (the old town) and Gaetano's apartment were beautiful, although Ibla seemed a little deserted in November except for the Sunday evening "passeggiata". We had a terrific 5-night stay, and Gaetano was very helpful when we had questions. He met us in the parking lot, escorted us to the apartment, and answered all our questions. We found that the kitchen contained all the pots and utensils we needed to cook 3 dinners and 3 breakfasts, and there were many staples at hand (so drop by the apartment before you shop for groceries).
The living space was large and comfortable, as was the bedroom. The showers are small (half the size of a "standard" shower), and the apartment is not meant for those with mobility problems or very young children (who also may find the entire town difficult to navigate, as stairs up and down to get anywhere are inevitable).
The apartment is at the edge of Ibla and very close to the 242 steps to Ragusa Superiore, so we chose to go up to buy groceries and take in the incomparable views of Ibla below, rather than walk 35 minutes one-way to the Ibla stores, which can also be closed during siesta. There is a great butcher (open during siesta) as you walk from the steps to the centre of Superiore on the main street of Corso Vittorio Veneto, and we found everything else we needed at a small grocery chain (Despar, also reasonably close to the steps). We found a great spot for lunch - Giro di Vite, also on the main street in Superiore.
In Ibla, you can get coffee and breakfast pastries at a small café in the Piazza Republica, about a 10-minute walk away. Keep to the street to the left of the church in Piazza Republica, and you will find your way to the beautiful Duomo di San Georgio (one of only 47 churches in Ibla), which is in the town's centre. Although we didn't eat there, we saw an attractive place for lunch on the way to the Duomo, and about a 15-minute walk from the apartment; it billed itself as selling streetfood of Sicily (not sure if it is open for dinner). We dined at Quatro Gatti (make a reservation), but didn't particularly care for the donkey steak, a matter of personal preference. Gelato di Vini near the main square has tasty, unusual flavours. There is a trattoria close to the apartment, but it wasn't open on our visit.
We also walked for a couple of hours in the valley below Ibla - you can get to it from a street at the valley edge of town, and Gaetano has trekking sticks in the bedroom which are a must for rainy weather, when the steps down can be quite slippery.
We would definitely return to this beautiful place and apartment.
