릴레 & 샤토 로칸다 돈 세라피노(Locanda Don Serafino Historical Boutique Hotel)

We stayed for only two nights but experienced three different rooms. We booked one of the Cave experience rooms but it did not work for us. The bathroom flooded and it was not pleasant. I do not recommend this path though we loved the hotel. The management was very willing to work with us and find different rooms, but we ended up in room number one on the first night and number 10 on the second night. Both were really great. The vibe of the rooms is modern chic in stone and if you end up in room one or ten I think you will love the vibe. The hotel is not really one building but a number of places spread out on both sides of the tiny street. We liked the breakfast room which was small and the ladies serving did a great job. we ate at the restaurant one night which was a treat though I wish I had dressed up for the occasion. The second night we had pizza and beer at the nearby terrazzo restaurant terrace which has a monster view and cost just 30 euros for dinner. we paid ten times that at the hotel’s restaurant. One thing to mention is that the hotel is on a narrow street so its not possible to stop in front when checking in. the hotel sent us some instructions as to where to stop and wait to be greeted. worked out well. We stayed here as part of a two week grand tour of sicily that included some much more elegant hotels, but don Serafino was one of my favorite places in sicily.

Excellent service and quality rooms with expert advice on local sites, restuarants and connections for travel. I was particularly impressed with Giuseppi and Gabriele who were always ready to assist me with my travel needs. The location in Ragussa Ibla is very scenic and historic with only a short ten-minute walk to the cathedral piazza, stores, restuarants and park with its fabulous views. Would stay here again without hesitation.

This is an imaginatively created historic hotel which has really excellent staff. It also has a great atmosphere, a little like certain hotels in Matera which have rooms carved out of rock. The fact that the hotel is not all under the same roof could be inconvenient in bad weather, but the weather is Sicily is usually good. We were there in winter, had no problems and loved our cave room. The Reception staff are all exceptional, very friendly and always available to give advice or make bookings. Breakfast, which is excellent, is served in a room with views across a deep valley by two lovely staff members who make very good coffee and egg dishes. The Michelin starred Locanda Don Serafino restaurant is beyond amazing. Partially carved into multi-coloured rock, it is very beautiful to look at, and the atmosphere is matched by the wonderful food and service. The Executive Chef is brilliant, as well as very helpful with dietary problems. His whole team are both efficient and warm and friendly, an absolutely perfect experience.

All of the staff was heartily friendly and helpful. Our room was beautiful and, even more importantly, clean and silent. The breakfast was excellent! The hotel rooms are located in different parts of original old buildings which make the hotel exceptionally interesting, yet cosy and comfortable.

The best hotel on our self-driving tour of Sicily. It's in a very old building so there are some quirks like the (optional) stone spiral staircase from reception. Our room was modernised and dry but one other guest mentioned a dehumidifier in the room. Breakfast was excellent and in a room across the narrow street. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Location at the bottom of the old hill town is perfect so long as you can walk 10 mins up to Ragusa Duomo and central plaza. The hotel handle street parking free of charge if you need it, after phoning for a rendezvous a hundred metres below. Not suitable for anyone with mobility problems.

This is an exceptional hotel in Ragusa. Parking is very difficult in Ragusa. The staff takes your car and parks is somewhere and brings it back when you leave. The hotel itself is stunning, a small, boutique property that was rebuilt after an earthquake several years ago. The steps to the second floor are stone, from the 14th century. The walls are the beautiful light stone found all around Ragusa. The room was small, but lovely. The staff is exceptional. They understand that parking is difficult, finding the hotel can be a challenge, and they do everything they can to make it easier, and your stay delightful. I can't say enough about this hotel. I loved it.

The hotel is just a few steps from the road access and is located in a beautiful conversion. Of course they tell you to go up the narrow winding stone staircase to get to your room but then they tell you that there is a much easier access around the corner but its all part of the fun. Really well equipped room with space and a comfortable bed. Good breakfast in a separate room across the street with eggs made to order. Front desk really helpful with excellent recommendations for best restaurants and to book their own Michelin Starred place. they provided bottled water to take on our journey at the end. Wifi not very good but 5G available. highly recommended.

After our stay in 2022, we decided to come back to this lovely hotel in Ragusa Ibla. We were proven right to do so! The staff was friendly and helpful, giving us great recommendations for not just Ragusa but also for the other locations we were going to stay. The room was extremely comfortable with a bottle of Prosecco waiting in the room, enhancing our wedding anniversary celebration that week. Very comfortable bed, and both bed and bath linens were excellent quality. Breakfast was delicious with local delicacies, made-to-order eggs and sweet and savoury options. Price-quality is unbeatable.
