we loved everything about this property and only wish we had more time to spend in this beautiful location. The B&B is well operated by the beautiful and helpful Elena and the charming Simone who is good at everything and helped collect our luggage in his cute vehicle. He also prepared a sumptuous and generous breakfast which we enjoyed on the terrace overlooking breathtaking views of the local area. The B& B also contains a massage spa which unfortunately we did not get to use but it looked great. We cannot recommend this venue and the region enough. You should stay in this beautiful and elegant palazzo!

we liked everything and everyone

I loved my stay here for 2 nights. The hospitality from the hosts is exceptional from picking you up for the short uphill ride to the B&B, the glorious breakfast with a diverse range of options and offering me an earlier breakfast on the day I was leaving, Simone generously carrying my heavy bag and downstairs for me. I highly recommend the day spa at the B&B which was divine! Much appreciated after walking up about 1000 stairs during my Sicily adventures! It's perfectly located with easy access to restaurants and places of interest. All the great reviews are well deserved.

Nothing. Loved it all.

Had excellent communication and advice from the host before we arrived. We drove to Ragusa and since the B&B is in Ragusa Ibla (where you want to stay) there really isn't any place to park. The host gave us two suggestions as to where to park just on the edge of Ragusa Ibla. Even though it is walkable from there to the B&B, the host promptly picked us and our luggage up in his car and drove us to the B&B; much, much easier. Didn't need our car at all during our stay. You can explore all of Ragusa, both Ragusa Ibla and Ragusa Superiore, by walking, which you should do, or you can take the Ragusa Baroque Train, really a small tram, on wheels, that travels a route through town to see the sights. Had a large, lovely room with a more than adequate private bath and a small balcony with chairs that gave an excellent feel for being in Ragusa. Everything was clean and fresh. The host was outstanding in making you feel at home and at ease, and made the stay even more enjoyable. He was most helpful in providing suggestions/directions for what to visit, when to visit and where to eat. They provide a wonderful, filling breakfast typical of the region with several homemade items. This place is a gem.

Not a dislike, but FYI you do have to walk up/down stairs within the house/palazzo to get to the B&B.

Simone was the perfect, kind, helpful, hardworking host. When we became lost on arrival in the narrow, steep, tangle of streets in Old Ragusa, he found us and picked us up. He provided a map of the area and referred us to an excellent restaurant. The varied breakfast, featuring home-grown fruit and jams and cakes made by his wife, was a joy. We also appreciated the pleasant, quiet terrace with a wonderful view, used for breakfast, and available at any time to guests. It was a perfect place to relax during the afternoon "siesta."

No drawbacks relating to Giardino di Pietra itself. (Only, we wouldn't try to drive a car to that location again!)

Very comfortable, beautiful room. Awesome bathtub for relaxation after a tiring sightseeing day. Lovely rooftop terrace where breakfast is served. Great location in Ragusa Ibla.

Breakfast could be better. 2 options are provided, “salty” and “sweet”. We chose salty on both days and it always came with scrambled eggs which were cold. Lovely choice of jams and honey, though.

We had a good stay in this lovely old building. Our large room had a great ceiling, of all things, and was well furnished. There are only three rooms opening onto the breakfast room with its large terrace area, having views over the “newer” upper town. Breakfast was good quality. The owners were always available, either in the building or via WhatsApp. They looked after us very well. Tip - if driving, use the free parking a few minutes walk away. The owner ferried us and our luggage in a 1952 Fiat 500 - quite a taxi! I wouldn’t attempt to drive to the accommodation in anything larger. The location was ideal, quiet yet an easy walk around the old town.

Simone was extremely welcoming and helpful. He helped us find parking on our first day and also pointed out all landmarks of interest on a map. Breakfast was exquisite. Served on their lovely terrace with a choice or mix of sweet/savoury items. Room was huge with all the needed facilities. Views of Ragusa Ibla were visible from our two balconies. Area very peaceful and quiet.

The only disadvantage was the lack of a lift. Although this was communicated beforehand and Simone was ready to help us with our luggage up the stairs . Overall, a very trivial thing. A lift would ruin the aesthetic of the building anyway. :)

We had an outstanding stay at Giardino Di Pietra. The proprietor is a gracious host and has great local recommendations. Comfortable bed, historic building with modern amenities and a delicious daily breakfast with local specialties.

The breakfast was very good and had an astounding view of Ragusa Superiore, we were certainly made welcome and the location was excellent as it was very close to all Ragusa Ibla sites and a quick walk to Ragusa Superiore on the other side of the hill.

Our host was attentive and it may be splitting hairs, but he wasn't really a people person. He was cordial and did his job well, but one gets the idea that his retirement is gleaming ahead of him like the gates of St. Peter. Also parking was a challenge as it is up in the old city, but that is what you must expect for that kind of inner-ancient-village experience.

Both the building and the rooms are gorgeous, an authentic 18th century palazzo with modern facilities and a comfortable bed. Great location in Ragusa Ibla, in walking distance of the Duomo and restaurants, plus a nice roof terrace to relax on. But what makes it a 10/10 is the love and attention of the owners; the homemade breakfast is delicious and they will help you with every small request, from picking you up from the main parking to preparing a small packed breakfast when you need to catch an early flight. Grazie Simone!

Nothing to say here, just that there is a big risk of finding this place fully booked 😉
