The property is nice, big rooms, a/c was not working well and was a bit warm to sleep comfortably. We had a disagreement with the parking arrangements offered and ended up paying it twice... we are still waiting for a reimbursement...

Tried to change date as u made a mistake on calendar. They wanted to charge me more than my original booking $200 As I had no insurance they took advantage of situation although it was over 2 weeks in advance. Therefore I did not go and paid anyway. Shameful

Dimora storica di charme

Dimora storica in cui sono state realizzate camere di design molto curate. Biancheria di alta qualità pulizia perfetta. Personale molto gentile e attento al cliente. Migliorabile l’illuminazione nelle camere. colazione inclusa di ottima qualità. Piscina non nella struttura ma in albergo vicinissimo.

Très bon accueil. La partie réception de l’hôtel est très belle et fidèle aux photos. Par contre, la chambre standard dans laquelle nous avons dormi n’est pour moi pas à la hauteur du standing minimal d’un tel hôtel. Le sèche serviette de la salle d’eau était cassé et chauffait en continue et la climatisation ne fonctionnait pas. La douche aurait également besoin d’un petit rafraîchissement. Pas de verre et pas de possibilité de prendre un café ou thé (même payant) dans la chambre. Une bouteille d’eau gratuite par séjour serait appréciable.

The hotel is a real gem with a wonderful indoor pool/spa that you can reserve for exclusive use. It is located well in hilly Ragusa and very close to the important sites. The staff is incredibly kind and really go out of their way to help. Matteo has a wonderful sense of humor and makes you feel right at home!

Tramite stradine del centro città di Ragusa si arriva alla struttura che si trova all'interno di un bel palazzo. Personale impeccabile (chek-in per 24h anche in piena emergenza covid - zona rossa) e disponibile ad ogni richiesta. Stanze pulite e dotate di ogni tipo di comfort. Hotel ideale anche per soggironi turistici perchè si trova al centro di Ragusa.

L’hotel è abbastanza carino, mi aspettavo di meglio per un “luxury”. Camere molto grandi e fresche, colazione buona. Avevamo la camera all’entrata principale dell’hotel e onestamente si sentivano gli schiamazzi dei clienti che uscivano, avrei messo sicuramente una porta che isolasse di più il rumore visto che già alle 8 di mattina eravamo svegli per “colpa” delle persone che parlavano all’ingresso. Le pulizie non erano molto approfondite
