An absolutely perfect stay. This historic family masseria has been brought up to date with impeccable taste and great attention to every detail. We spent a week there with our three children (15, 12 and 7) and could not have hoped for a more beautiful experience: magazine-worthy design; an incredible pool; long lunches under a canopy of trees in the garden; dinners in the courtyard; sunsets and a nightcap from the second-story loggia with expansive countryside views. Ignazio provided wonderful recommendations (restaurants in Ragusa Ibla, beaches, villages, sights), and delightfully funny, sweet Mario, who lives across the courtyard, made our stay and tended to our family with such warmth and care. Service, design, location— five stars all around, with Mario as the unexpected crown jewel. Giovanni who takes care of the property was also a pleasure, and these interactions gave our already-perfect stay a personal, intimate quality not usually available at rentals.
