Palazzo Degli Antoci

Absolutely wonderful, will stay here on our next trip back.

If I could put more stars, I would. I cannot recommend this B&B highly enough. Our stay was comfortable, relaxing and Giovanni and Raffaella were perfect hosts and amazingly helpful. Nothing was too much trouble for them, from booking restaurants and recommending places to go to helping us with a hire car. The Palazzo was beautifully furnished and cool in the heat of the day, quiet and with a balcony view over the town a fine place to relax in the evening. It was very conveniently placed in the older part of the main town, with many local sights in easy walking distance. All of the rooms would be to an equally high standard, but we stayed in the King Room, which was bright and comfortable, with a spacious, well-appointed and clean bathroom down a short corridor - the best type of en-suite. The Palazzo has an impressive history and Raffaellla was rightly proud of her heritage, and we enjoyed hearing about it, and all the local information she spoke about. The breakfasts we were provided with were enormous and full of local cheeses and meats; not only that but Raffaella's delicious home baking, a new treat every day. There were plenty of local restaurants nearby and we enjoyed two great evening meals during our stay. Ragusa Ibla is only a short walk away, but be warned, the twenty-thirty minutes it takes is down hundreds of steps and then up some more steps or steep roads. It's well worth it, as there are numerous spectacular views and you will pass lots of interesting buildings. But failing that, the local shuttle bus or a taxi can take some of the effort out of the trip. I would not hesitate to stay here again. To travel in this part of Sicily the bus service was reliable, on-time and tickets easy to buy on-line and download on your mobile to show to the driver. If you hire a car, a good sat-nav is worth taking as many Ragusa town roads are very narrow (indeed!) and so one-way only... getting to and from your preferred location may require some circular trips.

Amazing Palazzo, restored with a tremendous respect for history and quality. Nice rooms and very hospitable hosts. Great, fully homeade. local ingredients breakfast, made to order/ on request.

Lovely hosts that makes you feel very welcome. The place has wonderful history and many original features that are renovated to look beautiful. The comfort in the room could have been a little better, there was a very strange plastic mattress cover on the bed that was extremely weird and uncomfortable to sleep on. Apart from that the room was great with a wonderful view. If you want a hotel with that family feel and hosts that does anything for you, this is the place for you!

Our one night stay was absolutely exquisite. Of all the stays during our three week visit to Sicily this was by far our favorite. Everything was perfect from the moment we were greeted and welcomed by the owners at the front gate to the moment we waved goodbye to them from the taxi. This property is five star! Thank you Raffaella and Giovanni!

It is a palazzo in more than name. The family has occupied this incredible property since 1920. When you stay here you become part of their fascinating history and they treat you like a guest in their home. It was one of the most memorable accommodations where we have ever stayed.

Amazing B & B. The hotel which was a palace dating back to the 1700's. It was incredible expeirence in many ways. The family that owned the property from it inception still lives there and operates it as a hotel. The Baroness, is a charming and hospitable host. She treats you like a house guest..nothing is top much. The staff there is limited but very helpful and engaging. Beautiful spacious rooms full of original furniture. The hotel is like a museum.
