Giarìa’s apartment is in a great location in a quiet historic residential street. It is within walking distance of the Ibla old town, and is close to the cathedral and a wide range of excellent cafes and restaurants. Ragusa is a gem of Baroque architecture and deserves its Unesco World Heritage status. The Ibla is on a hill separated from the main town by a valley so there are a lot of steps to climb, but the views are stunning and are definitely worth the effort.
Giarìa was the perfect host and cooked us organic orange cake and muffins for breakfast. The apartment was very clean and comfortable. There was plenty of free parking around the apartment but the roads are very narrow and a small hire car is definitely a better choice. The locals were very friendly and the food was great -do not miss Cafe Italia the coffee shop next to the cathedral, La Taverna del Lupe or da Luigi trattoria nearby.
