Locanda Don Serafino Historical Boutique Hotel

This hotel building, carved into the stone, survived the 1693 earthquake and is over seven hundred years old. Josepi, on his second day at work, was an enormous help in parking my car, which was a midsize MG SUV. He went over and above what was expected. Breakfast was a joy with great staff, that would make you coffee exactly how I wanted it and kept it coming without having to ask. Sparkling wine awaited you in the cavern-like separate sitting area upon arrival after a stressful drive, before checking in. Linda and Eugenio gave us incredible service making reservations at restaurants for us and advice on visiting Modica, Scicli, and Ragusa. Linda phoned a restaurant for me when I thought that I had left my hat behind. The atmosphere of the hotel more than made up for the somewhat tight quarters of our room which could be accessed from the street, or by going up a spiral staircase cut int0 the stone behind the front desk. Service at it’s finest.

What an experience! Great location in the heart of where you need to be

Friendly and helpful staff who looked after us very well. This hotel is very central in Ragusa Ibla. Everything is within walking distance. They have a valet service for your hire car as parking is tricky so this worked very well. The room was very comfortable (Junior suite), though quite small, but everything in this town is small as it is medieval, but it all adds to the charm. Breakfast is very good and the staff there are very nice too. There is a restaurant which is a 10 minute walk away. It mainly serves up tasting menus, but the staff are also happy to recommend very good restaurants serving traditional Sicilian cuisine. You can get to nearby Modica by taxi (25 mins) or bus and they can arrange. We thought that Ragusa was the better and prettier place to stay. We highly recommend this hotel.
