Villa Boscarino

This hotel is a total delight. The original late nineteenth-century building is very beautiful (mostly mock Norman-Arabic) with the most charming gardens, pretty (if small) pool, and elegant modern rooms. The chapel, where you can choose to breakfast is especially lovely. The staff are smiling, helpful, a pleasure. The only drawback is that the hotel is a short walk into old Ragusa, and a fair schlep from Ibla. As a moderately fit man in my early sixties, I found this fine, but those who don't like a stroll should perhaps look for somewhere more central. For me this remains perhaps the nicest hotel in which I have ever stayed.

Beautiful building, nice room with terrace. Helpful and friendly staff, especially the bartender. However, we always book a hotel with a bar so that we can chat or read in the bar in the evening. It turned out that it was a pool bar and open from 2 to 7 p.m. There was also no lounge to sit in. It gave the feeling that we were in a bed and breakfast. Please state at bar that it is a pool bar and that there is no bar/lounge in the hotel. Otherwise a lovely hotel.

The hotel is exquisite. The villa renovation was done with an eye to preserving the character of the Villa, while at the same time allowing for modern conveniences. Each space in the hotel felt comfortable and inviting. We had the Jr. Suite and it was quiet, and full of light during the day , with a beautiful view of the horizon. The Villa Boscarino, sitting on a hill in a residential neighbourhood, is a short drive from the heart of Ragusa superiore. One would ideally arrive via car. Parking is uncomplicated. The hotel staff were wonderful and organised dinner for us on short notice for two evenings. Breakfast lovely - fresh fruit and pastries, really special. We would definitely stay here again.

This is a beautiful hotel. They did a great job renovating this villa - modern conveniences in a lovely vintage setting. When we checked in, we were given a map of the area and helpful information. The breakfast room is located in what used to be the chapel. Private parking is available directly in front of the villa. Ibla is a short drive away.

This is a stylish boutique hotel. Rooms are well appointed and larger than a modern hotel and feel special. Plenty of parking in front of the hotel. Breakfast is OK, although not really anything special. But it is a long way from Ragusa Ibla (old town), and you need a car - 4k by road to the nearest car park. But don't let that put you off as you will probably be in a car anyway. The staff were all really great and gave us excellent recommendations for dinner. The only thing that we weren't too keen on (in May) was that the sun disappeared from the pool area a little early, and would be the only reason we might look elsewhere if we return, but we did enjoy our stay.

Very comfortable, old-world feel in the heart of Ragusa, it was a highlight of our Sicilian adventure. Our room was very comfortable, and we had the balcony. It was the perfect place to sip some wine as the sun set. The garden had abundant flowers and a private estate feel. What a pleasure to wake up in such a wonderful setting. We would definitely recommend staying here.
