팔라초 델리 안토치

Exceptional Ragusa Experience! This turned out to be one of our most memorable and enjoyable stays during our 2-week trip around Sicily. The property is in a beautifully maintained historical family Palazzo. The lovely historical furniture and artifacts contribute to the unique accommodations. Our room was an upgraded suite which was very comfortable, notable, and spacious. The hosts Rafaella and Giovanni are extremely warm and hospitable. Rafaella bakes many of the delicious Sicilian morning pastries and desserts and we enjoyed learning about Ragusa's history from both of them. The Palazzo has been the site of many notable meetings throughout the history of Ragusa as Rafaella's great grandfather held a high position in Ragusa's early leadership. The Palazzo has been nicely renovated to receive guests while maintaining many of the original features (i.e. original floor tiles lifted for utility work then replaced). The main floor of the palazzo is up a beautiful staircase, but a lift is also available. The location is superb for walking to the main sites of Ragusa and there are many restaurants nearby. HIGHLY recommended for a unique experience in Sicily.

Thank you Rafaela and Giovanni for having received us as beloved guests in your spirited family palazzo. We loved everything, from the elegant room to the delicious breakfast, and appreciated your recommendations in terms of visits in the beautiful Ragusa and further.

We had a magical experience with the most gracious hosts ever!! We enjoyed every minute with Raffaella and Giovanni! They are truly special people with the most generous hearts of gold! The room we stayed was spectacular and the bed was so comfortable that I didn’t want to get up in the morning! The breakfast was over the top delicious! They go above and beyond to please their guests. We are so impressed with them and we’ll keep in touch. They open their home and hearts to their guests so that you leave their palazzo with lifelong memories of a magical time spent in lovely Ragusa! Thank you for being so special! We highly recommend this lovely Palazzo degli Antoci.

This hotel reflects the richness of history and culture of the city and the hosts make a personal effort to combine great hospitality quality with kindness and charm.

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.

Excellent Special location in the center of Ragusa. The palazo is a beautiful place and the very kind family offer great service. The breakfast is fantastic with tipical local products.
