Find hotels near Castle of Donnafugata, Ragusa from CA $73

"From the first moment that we arrived at the property we felt very relaxed. We were greeted with a warm welcome and couldn’t have asked for more in this modern building. Superb 180 degree views over the valley looking out to sea. Very clean room equipped with beautiful bedding, towels and bathroom toiletries. The continental breakfast consists of numerous homemade cakes and croissants as well as meats and cheese which is topped off with the coffee bar making hot drinks of any variety to order. Although we didn’t have a chance to eat in the ‘Gramole’ restaurant it does have an extensive wine list, with the opportunity to drink some excellent wines from the Chiaremonte estate by the pool. Highly recommended is a walk through the onsite Olive groves interspersed with wild flowers and poppies, time of year dependant I would assume, also lots of Carob trees to shade under. Relais Chiaramonte by car is about 20 minutes from the coast, Ragusa and the pretty town of Scicli. I would like to thank Ylenia and Gonzalo for making our stay very welcoming and special and certainly will return soon. "

"The property was amazing! Perfect for exploring the cultural, historic and cultural highlights of the area including Ragusa Noto Modica Syracusa etc. while we went in the off season the combination of a beautiful pool and close proximity to various beaches make it ideal for spring and summer months. It is also surrounded by farmland isolating it from any noise neighbours or traffic. Kitchen was excellently equipped as were the bedrooms. Master bedroom was impressive. Hosts were attentive, responsive and full of information."

"Nice base to explore Donnafugata, local beaches and southern Sicily more generally. Be aware that you may need to use local restaurants in the evening (five minute drive). Went here on honeymoon and would happily return."

"We had a fabulous stay at Tursimo Rurale Cozzo di Papaleo. Giorgio and team were very hospitable. The rooms were well appointed and meals were great. It’s a great base to expire Ragusa area. "
